I’m not rude, just French, former Bond girl Eva Green tells court

‘I have nothing against peasants’ says actor after messages are read out in court

Former Bond girl Eva Green blamed her “Frenchness” for abusive messages describing film bosses as “weak and stupid” and referring to one as a “f****** inexperienced, pretentious moron.”

The Casino Royale star, 42, was due to play the lead role in sci-fi film A Patriot, but the production collapsed in October 2019.

She is suing production company White Lantern Film, claiming she is entitled to her £810,000 fee for the abandoned project despite its cancellation.
