From 'Eve Hewson on smooching her ‘Robin Hood’ costar and becoming the next Tom Cruise'

There are plenty of both in her first action flick, director Otto Bathurst’s gritty, reimagined “Robin Hood,” out Nov. 21. The ingénue plays Maid Marian, love interest of both The Hood (Taron Egerton) and his rival, Will Scarlet (Jamie Dornan). And she had a laugh doing it.

Hollywood is also paying attention to Hewson, the daughter of U2 frontman Bono and activist-entrepreneur Ali Hewson. With her dramatic coloring, easygoing personality and quick wit, she’s part of a new breed of hilarious beauties who banter. And unlike her cagier counterparts, she’s happy to talk about canoodling with co-stars.

Puckering up with Egerton (who, like Dornan, “has a very cool significant other”) was also a goof. “Taron is very attractive, and he’s got a sick body,” says Hewson matter-of-factly. “They should have done a scene with just Taron and Jamie wrestling in the mud or something, just for the ladies!”

Hewson keeps her clothes on in every frame, but they’re muddied during an epic, high-speed chase scene involving horse-drawn carts and fireballs. At one point, she’s taken hostage and locked in a box.

The crate was wooden and tight-fitting, which may or may not have led to a tiny injury. “I think I got a splinter,” says Hewson. “Call the medic!” she bellows. “I cannot work in these conditions.”

Despite her glamorous career and rock-royalty background, Hewson is somewhat of an anti-diva, showing up for her interview barefaced and wearing faded mom jeans, Adidas slides and an oversized T-shirt with a picture of Drake licking his lips. Although she starred in a short film directed by Dakota Fanning for the “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” series, and swans the red carpet in designer gear from Chanel, Dior and Alexander Wang (“Rihanna at a funeral, that’s kind of the inspiration”), her everyday look is low-key cool. “I like wearing boys’ clothes and putting some heels on and some eyeliner.”

And she certainly doesn’t play the flattery game.

When Hewson moved to America in 2009 to attend NYU’s Tisch School of The Arts, she was weirded out by the fawning. “Guys would come up and say, ‘Oh, you’re so beautiful.’” Her reaction to the compliments? “Gross!”

Dudes, in turn, were baffled by her tongue-in-cheek insult-slinging. “I’ll do the Irish thing where I’ll take the p*** out of them, and they find it offensive.” Her defense: “‘I’m just Irish, sorry. I swear, I think you’re attractive.’”

Perhaps this has contributed to her sad-sack love life, which she loves to lampoon. “Third wheeling with my parents is like what I do. It’s the story of my life. It’s what I was born to do,” riffs the star, who is said to have dated actors Max Minghella and James Lafferty. “They feel sorry for me, so they include me in their activities.

If Hewson seems, well, normal, it’s because her parents did their utmost to bring their four children up like regular kids in the suburbs of Dublin.

It’s thanks to one of her tour tutors, Erica Dunton, that Hewson became an actress in the first place. Writer and director Dunton cast the then-teenager as an Irish hitchhiker in her 2008 drama “The 27 Club.” Hewson was hooked, moving to New York for drama school a few years later. She then landed roles in Nicole Holofcener’s “Enough Said” (one of James Gandolfini’s final movies) and Steven Spielberg’s “Bridge of Spies.”

Next, she did a racy turn as a naive nurse in Steven Soderbergh’s medical drama “The Knick.” This year, she channeled a newlywed in the indie dramedy “Paper Year.”

Now the globetrotter will travel to New Zealand to play an addict and adventurer in “The Luminaries,” a six-part BBC Two adaptation of the Man Booker Prize-winning novel.
