Early life Hewson was born in Dublin, Ireland, the second daughter of activist Ali Hewson (née Alison Stewart) and U2 lead singer Bono (Paul David Matthew Hewson). Her name is derived from her time and date of birth (7 a.m. on 7 July), as "eve" is the middle of the word "seven". Her godfather is musician Gavin Friday. She has an older sister, Jordan, and two younger brothers, Elijah and John. She attended nearby Dalkey School Project primary school, and St. Andrew's College in Booterstown, also in Dublin, for secondary education. She did a short course at the New York Film Academy in 2008. In 2009, she commenced studies in acting, with subsidiary focus on psychology, at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating in 2013. The U2 song "Kite" was inspired by a moment when Bono took a kite up on Killiney Hill with Hewson and her sister, but the kite blew away and smashed. Career Although Hewson's parents were against her performing, she made her acting debut in 2005 alongside her sister Jordan in the short film Lost and Found. She made her feature-length debut in 2008 in The 27 Club. The same year, Hewson took part in the acting programme at the New York Film Academy. In 2010, she appeared in the music video and accompanying short film for Irish band The Script's song "For the First Time".
