Eva Mendes feels "really f****** sexy" when Ryan Gosling looks at her.
Eva Mendes feels sexy with Ryan Gosling
The 50-year-old actress - who has daughters Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, eight, with her 'Place Beyond the Pines' co-star - admitted she gets a lot of confidence from her partner and knowing he still finds her attractive.
She told Sunday Times Style magazine: “I feel really f***ing sexy at times.
“The way my man looks at me is just … at times I’m like, oh my God. That might not sit well with people, but so much of how I feel is a reflection of what he’s giving me.
“There’s so many things that can make me feel sexy and I’d say that I feel more sexy than not. I guess because I’ve never considered myself beautiful, but I’ve always felt very sexy.”
Eva was "totally fine" when it came to reaching her milestone birthday in March but admitted it feels "crazy" to be in her fifties now.
She said: “It was totally fine. It’s just that number sounds crazy. I feel like a girl inside and I’m like, oh my God, I’m not a girl any more.”
The 'Hitch' actress - who hasn't made a movie for a decade - isn't "afraid" to try certain cosmetic treatments because she knows the effects of procedures such as Botox injections or filler will wear off eventually.
She said: "I’m not afraid to try things that are safe, because most of these little treatments, let’s say, are reversible.
“If you get Botox, it goes away if you don’t like it. There have been times where I’ve regretted something … and then you just wait it out.”
When it came to rebellion, Eva was a "late bloomer".
She said: “It’s really stupid. I started smoking cigarettes at 28. And then I started drinking. I was a late bloomer.”
The 'Training Day' star ended up in rehab in 2008 as her career was taking off, but she doesn't blame the pressures of Hollywood.
She said: “I feel like with my kind of spirit I’d have found unhealthy behaviours anywhere.
“I was so hungry for life. I still am. But I was leaving no stone unturned. I was like, ‘What’s over here? What’s over here?’ ”
