Eva Mendes relished comedy role

Eva Mendes was quick to sign up to star in upcoming movie “The Other Guys,” because she wanted audiences to see her play a comic role.

The actress, who plays Will Ferrell’s wife in the film, loved working with the funny man – and she hopes cinemagoers will see her natural flare for comedy.

She tells W magazine, “It’s very hard for me to be seen as funny, and the truth is, that’s where I’m most comfortable. These are the two comments I get from people when they meet me, ‘You seem a lot taller on film,’ and ‘You’re funny.’ If people hang out with me, they see I’m a ham.

She goes on to describe her experience in the role. She says, “It was completely liberating. Never have I had so much fun with a character and felt so natural at it. Had I done this movie three years ago, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to throw it back at Will, and now, if anything, I was overly confident. I didn’t know when to stop!”

Eva Mendes strips with purpose

Eva Mendes has insisted being comfortable with her body doesn’t mean she would agree to anything and everything.

The 36-year-old actress has stripped naked for a Peta anti-fur campaign and a Calvin Klein advertisement, as well as posing for sexy photo shoots, and insist she thinks carefully about what she is taking her clothes off for.

Eva said: “Certainly I’m extremely comfortable, but it doesn’t mean that I’m always ready and willing.

“Just because I’m comfortable, doesn’t mean that it’s not very well thought out. And it’s part of the allure to make everything look like an accident. But trust me, as a female in this industry, nothing is an accident, I leave nothing to chance.”

The Ghost Rider star doesn’t feel objectified by being thought of as a sex symbol.

She said: “From the photo shoots to the roles that I’ve played, I’ve never felt objectified or exploited and that’s something that’s very important to me, because I think that’s just a terrible thing to do to women. I feel like we have much more control than we acknowledge sometimes.”

Eva, who appears in Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant and the forthcoming Last Night with Keira Knightley, also thinks carefully about the roles she plays.

She revealed: “As a woman in this industry you’re limited. And as a woman with an ethnic background you’re limited.

“So the roles that I really want don’t always come my way, but the people I want to work with do, and that is something that I always jump to.”

Eva Mendes: Id get married in my basement

Eva Mendes has declared that if she decided to tie the knot with her partner of eight years, filmmaker George Gargurevich: “I’d probably do it in my basement.”

Mendes also opened up about whether she had any plans to start a family, saying: “I’m honestly not there yet, but who knows? I’m not a planner — so if it happens, it happens. I have seven nephews and nieces and they keep me happy on that front.”

The star has also discussed her “love” of therapy, Showbiz Spy reports.

“There is nothing like going into a room and sitting down and talking to someone who has no emotional investment in your life.”

The actress, who went to rehab in 2008 for an unspecified condition, said of facing life’s difficulties: “Fight them head on. Just be honest with yourself and face it.”

“I didn’t know how to swim, so I asked my friend to throw me off a boat. I know it’s crazy, but I did it and I survived.”

The actress, who has been dating Peruvian filmmaker George Augusto since 2002, also revealed she adores being in a relationship.
