Eva Mendes covered and gave interview with Marie Claire UK magazine, for their September 2009 issue.
The actress gives an odd interview. She’s like the Latina version of 1995s Saint Angelina. Talking about oddities and facets of her personal life that she would do well to keep out of the public domain. It’s hard to be mad at someone so hot. She doesn’t do these interviews often and it’s not like she’s turning onto Megan Fox or anything. Mendes appears not to have a new movie coming out, so aside from promoting her new line of linen, my guess is that this is an exercise in humility (for the rest of us). This must be her twice yearly bout of gracing us with her beauty. She’s like a solar eclipse. A curvy, foxy eclipse with very full lips.
- On her Calvin Klein adverts that were banned in the States: “You can’t show your nipples, apparently, in the States. But you can blow up anything you please in a movie or on TV.”
- On her curves: “I love my curves and I embrace them, but I have to walk a fine line. There are certain dresses that are like: ‘Oh, this is really feminine. This isn’t sexy at all’, but then I’d try it on and it just turned. I think it comes down to being voluptuous, and if your body’s a certain way, then things can go distasteful in a second.”
- On regular therapy sessions: “I love therapy! I’m very into it. I’m very in touch with my feelings, so I’m a completely different person. Not that different, but there’s nothing like going in and sitting down and talking to someone who has no emotional tie to your life. Just to talk to someone. It’s amazing.”
- On visiting cemeteries: “I love cemeteries. They’re so beautiful and peaceful.”
Eva Mendes cover and pictures from the Marie Claire September 2009 issue.
Nothing so self-absorbed and stupidly blunt as Fox, for sure. And like you said, she’s hot, so it’s cool.
Eva seems to have an effortlessly wacky sense of humor, which is refreshing and adds to her appeal. None of that ‘hotter than thou’ attitude that’s polluting our world lately.
She seems kooky but harmless. There is something utterly likeable and tolerable about her… maybe she has enough to dish out to some of her young pretenders.
this is one eclipse i’d gladly go blind looking at…lol
She seems adorable, make the most of it. She only graces us with her presence a few times per year.
