  Why we love Eva Mendes

  As starts go, appearing in a video for long-haired American rock pensioners Aerosmith isn't a bad one, but it soon got even better for exotic Yank Eva Mendes when she landed a plum role as Denzel Washington's gal in ice-cool 2001 flick Training Day.
  Once the public, and Hollywood execs alike, became aware of Eva Mendes’ talents she’s rarely been off our screens. She raced Vin Diesel in 2Fast 2Furious, shot at lots of people in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, did something with Will Smith in Hitch (we didn’t catch that one) and rode a figurative hog with Nic Cage in Ghost Rider. Busy, and that’s before you include the modelling and professional trainer wearing for Reebok.
  When Eva Mendes isn't working, she's doing up her LA home, having become addicted over the years to interior design. Or she's out hiking in the Californian hills being generally happy and healthy. She probably actively seeks out wheatgrass. Most recently, Mendes has been courting man of the moment and all round good sort, Ryan Gosling, proving that even in adulthood those same rules that kept us ‘in the conference’ with girls at school, apply in adulthood. Which is fine, because we get to look at her all we want, thanks to the magic of DVD. More fool you Eva, more fool you.
