Seeing herself in her Becka character, the actor thought playing her would be easy. Not true. 'The process of being that open and vulnerable actually became more difficult, because I felt I was giving so much of myself away,' she says.
Want to know who Eve Hewson is? Watch her as the ambitious Becka in the darkly hilarious. “Becka is so close to my heart,” she says. “I was a girl like her.” Hewson’s a standout in the series, about five Irish sisters, four of whom decide they must kill the other one’s sadistic husband. The series has been picked up for Season 2. But this is far from Hewson’s first rodeo: At 31, she’s also played roles in such series as “The Luminaries” and “The Knick.
I spent most of my 20s being pretty much the only girl on a set with loads of men. I think they call it the “Smurfette syndrome.” This was a completely different experience. Because we were all playing sisters, we all naturally fell into a comfortable place with each other. Sometimes, if you’re the only girl in a cast with a bunch of men, there’s a different way of holding yourself. When you’re around people like you — girls like you — you can let your guard down a little bit more.
What’s awkward about being from my family is the first few weeks of anything new. There’s that awkward time when people try to find your Instagram or Facebook and all of a sudden they figure out about your family, and it’s an awful conversation. People talk about you. But then it goes away, because people get bored about things quickly. So, yeah, I had a great experience. Drama school was a safe environment where I could try things and embarrass myself and try it again.
