Career

After graduation, she enrolled at the Cours Florent in Paris. She gained work in French television, with her breakthrough role as French student Susan in the French sitcom, Elisa Top Modele, which ran for 18 months. Next, she went to Italy to play "Nathalie", in the 1998 Italian miniseries Le ragazze di Piazza di Spagna. Her first English-speaking role was in the Highlander episode 'Patient Number 7'. After making her first film, Monsieur Naphtali (1999), Oscar-winning director Claude Lelouch cast Evans as Macha in Une pour toutes (1999), alongside Samy Naceri and Anne Parillaud.

In 1999, Disney cast Evans alongside Glenn Close, Gérard Depardieu and her future husband, Ioan Gruffudd, in 102 Dalmatians.[2][3] Evans' mother died at age 59, the day before Evans's final screen test for the role, which introduced her to British viewers.Шаблон:Citation needed

After appearing in Blackball, she moved to Los Angeles in 2003. She has since appeared in both television and film, such as The Mentalist, Brothers & Sisters, Lost, and Grimm. Evans also had a recurring turn as the villainous Esther on The Vampire Diaries[4] and The Originals.

Personal life

In 2001, Evans was residing in Paris with her fiancé Olivier Widmaier Picasso, a grandson of painter Pablo Picasso.[5][6][7] Evans first met actor Ioan Gruffudd during the filming of 102 Dalmatians.[8] They became engaged on New Year's Day 2006 and married on 14 September 2007 in Mexico.[9] They have two daughters, born in 2009 and 2013.[10] In January 2021, Evans announced their separation, which Gruffudd initiated.[11] In March 2021, Gruffudd filed for divorce from Evans.[12] In February 2022, Gruffudd was granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Evans;[13] he was then granted a three-year permanent restraining order in August 2022. In January 2023, Evans faced charges over allegedly breaching her restraining order on two counts.[14]

In 2017, following a slew of sexual assault allegations against film producer Harvey Weinstein, Evans claimed that 15 years prior, in 2002, Weinstein made sexual advances towards her, which she declined. Evans said that Weinstein insinuated that her rejection would affect her and Gruffudd's careers.[15]
