Eva Mendes is a Cuban-American actress, who is renown worldwide for both her beauty and talent. She was born in Miami, Florida, but grew up in Los Angeles, in the Cuban-American neighborhood. In high school, Eva Mendes started to act in theater plays, learning from her teacher, Ivana Chubbuck. It was at that time that Eva Mendes decided that she wanted to be an actress. And we could not be more happy with her decision, as Eva Mendes has pleased the eye of everyone who watched her in Training Day, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Hitch, The Wendell Baker Story, and many other movies.

Eva Mendes also had numerous modeling and publicity contracts. One of the latest commercials she appeared in was the one for the Reebok EasyTone sneakers. This was thus a perfect opportunity for journalists to speak more to Eva Mendes and to know her beauty secrets. Believe it or not, she does not bend over backwards in this department. Eva Mendes says that her exercising routine consists of 4-5 running sessions a week, and that is all. Regarding her diet, Eva Mendes confessed that she does not eat any kind of meat at all, not even chicken. While no one knows if this is a good choice, the actress stated that her skin looks so much better now that she banned meat from her daily meals. And since we are talking about looks, you should also know that Eva Mendes stated in a recent interview for Zest magazine that she thinks that being sexy is more important than being beautiful.

We are guessing that actor Ryan Gosling agrees with her, considering that he is one of the most sought after Hollywood bachelors and he does not seem to have eyes for anyone else but her. Who would have thought that Eva Mendes would leave director George Augusto after a 8-year relationship? The actress did not reveal anything on the subject, but rumor has it that she took this decision when she met Ryan Gosling, on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines. Nevertheless, Eva Mendes says that she does not look back; she looks toward the future, anxious to see what will tomorrow bring.
