In 2006, she starred in two comedy films: Starter for 10[2] and Big Nothing (in which she and co-star Simon Pegg put on American accents).[6] She spent the early part of 2006 in India working on a drama mini-series Losing Gemma about backpackers.[7]

On the stage, Eve has appeared in two plays directed by Trevor Nunn. In 2006, she played the young Esme in the new Tom Stoppard play Rock 'n' Roll, at the Royal Court Theatre,[8] later reprising her role for the 2007 Broadway transfer. For this performance, she was nominated for the best supporting actress award at the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards.[9] In 2009, she played Roxane in a production of Cyrano de Bergerac at the Chichester Festival Theatre.[10]

In 2010, Eve played the female lead role in the American romantic comedy film She's Out of My League, in which her parents play the roles of her character's parents. She also played the role of Erin, Charlotte's Irish nanny, in Sex and the City 2.[11] During 2011, Eve had a recurring guest role in season 8 of the HBO series Entourage, as Sophia, a journalist and love interest to Vincent Chase.[12] She played the role of Dr. Carol Marcus in Star Trek Into Darkness.[13]

Eve took part in the opening session of the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show.[14] She also appeared in Paul McCartney's music video "Queenie Eye".[15] In 2013, she co-starred in Before We Go with Chris Evans, who also directed the film.[16]

Personal life

Eve lives in London and Los Angeles.[17] She has heterochromia; her left eye is blue, and her right eye is green.[18][19] She was in a long-term relationship with poet Adam O'Riordan, whom she met while reading English at Oxford.[20][21][22] The pair broke up in 2012.[20][22][23] On 14 August 2014, Eve announced her engagement to her "high school sweetheart", financier Alex Cowper-Smith.[22][23] The pair met while attending Westminster School in London.[22] They married on 31 December 2014.[24]

In 2015, Eve aroused controversy with her comments on Caitlyn Jenner's public transition from man to woman, when she accused Jenner of "playing at being a woman".[25][26]
