Will Eva Mendes Return to Acting? She Says…
Eva Mendes might have to wait a little bit longer until her kids think she’s cool.
The Place Beyond The Pines actress—who shares Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8 with partner Ryan Gosling—recently revealed what her daughters think of her movies and, well, they’re “not impressed.”
Eva told Jimmy Fallon during a Sept. 18 appearance on The Tonight Show that her girls haven’t seen any of her movies because “they don’t care.”
“It’s like, I tried to show them—this was about a year ago—I tried to show them a scene from Hitch that I was actually proud of, because I’m scared of deep, dark water,” she said, referring to the film’s famous jet ski scene with onscreen love interest Will Smith. “I had to do this physical comedy stunt thing in the Hudson. Anyway, I was so scared. So, I faced a fear that day and did this stunt, and I was proud of it.”
The Desi, Mami, and The Never-Ending Worries author added that she once unsuccessfully tried to use the story behind that scene as inspiration for her daughters.
