Eve Hewson admits she hates watching herself on screen, despite her growing reputation as a talented actress.
The daughter of U2 star Bono and his activist wife Ali Hewson refuses to assess her own performances upon finishing a project – but concedes she broke her own rule after filming new show Bad Sisters.
Eve, 31, stars alongside Sharon Horgan in the AppleTV+ series about a group of female siblings who hatch an unorthodox plan to murder their brother-in-law.

Appearing on Thursday’s edition of This Morning, she claimed the show is so well written that she couldn’t resist watching it – despite knowing it would mean seeing herself in character.
She said: ‘I usually despise watching myself but I kept rewinding and watching scenes. It’s so good.’
The actress revealed she was instantly drawn to the project after being sent the script over Christmas, prompting her to cancel her plans.

She explained: ‘I was on my Christmas holidays and they sent me this and I was like, I don’t want to make an audition tape today but then I read it.
‘I had to change my Christmas Eve plans and make the tape. I had a Zoom with Sharon.’
Commenting on Horgan’s comedy-drama, she added: ‘It’s about five Irish sisters who hate one of the sisters’ husbands because he’s a terrible human being and so they decide to kill him.
‘All these things happen, they fail many times, but you know he’s dead from the first episode.’

Talented: Sharon Horgan, who appeared on the show alongside her co-star, adapted the show from an existing Flemish series
In the eight-part series Eve plays Becka, one of the Garvey sisters who seemingly work together to kill the abusive husband of elder sibling Grace, played by former Shameless star Anne-Marie Duff.
Adapted from a Flemish series by Horgan, the series also stars Dracula’s Claes Bang and Brooklyn’s Eve Birthistle.
Reflecting on the decision to remould an existing show for an English speaking audience, Sharon admitted she was apprehensive.

She told This Morning: ‘It’s adapted from a Flemish series which was scary because I had never adapted anything before.
‘There’s an extremely abusive relationship at the heart of it, that’s the scary thing with the humour, you don’t want to make light of anything but it’s a balance.’
The first two episodes are available to stream on AppleTV+ from August 19. New episodes are released weekly.
