Eva Mendes takes the cover of Allure’s August issue in Dolce & Gabbana. Here’s what the 36-year-old actress opened up about:
On nudity in Hollywood: “[When] other actresses who aren’t thought of, maybe, as being quite as attractive do full-frontal, they’re called brave. Nobody has ever said, ‘Eva, you’re so brave for doing full-frontal nudity.’ Just because I’m attractive doesn’t mean it’s not still scary. Why am I not brave?”
On her public image: “I don’t want ‘sexy’ to be my defining characteristic”
On her school yearbook photos: “One of the benefits of having a big smile and big teeth is that if you just smile you can look happy”
