Eva Mendes is never saying never when it comes to hitching her wagon back to acting.
While it’s been exactly a decade since the Hitch star appeared in her last movie, revealed that she could be open to returning to acting—but is certainly in no rush to do so.
“I don’t know,” Eva told Good Morning America‘s George Stephanopoulos Sept. 18. “If there’s interesting roles. I left at a time where it was also, 10 years ago … I kinda felt like I did it, ya know?”
The 50-year-old star explained that choosing to stop acting after working on back-to-back projects with partner, Ryan Gosling—with whom she shares Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8—felt like as good a moment as any to step away from the movie business.
After all, the couple met on 2012’s The Place Beyond the Pines and worked together again on Eva’s last movie project, 2014’s Lost River, which Ryan, 43, wrote and directed.
“I was like, ‘I just worked with Ryan Gosling, who’s, like, the best,'” she gushed. “It was such a high off my career to work with him and what we created together that I was like, ‘This is a good time to, like, Seinfeld it and just walk out.'”
