Green blasts "pretentious" method actors

Casino Royale star Eva Green has blasted method actors, calling them "pretentious".

Speaking to GQ, the actress confessed that she does not understand why stars such as Daniel Day-Lewis refuse to break character away from the movie set.

She said: "It is a bit pretentious to come home and remain in character. Can you imagine? It must be pretty hard to live with.

"I'm sure Daniel Day-Lewis is very sweet but if he takes some of those roles home with him then it must be quite tense. I wouldn't want to be his wife."

Day-Lewis used a wheelchair for several weeks to prepare for his part as a disabled man in 1989's My Left Foot.
