Eva Mendes Would Only Return To Screen If It’s Alongside Husband Ryan Gosling

deadline.com:

Eva Mendes says the only movie project that would persuade her to return to acting is one alongside her husband Ryan Gosling.

The couple have appeared in two films together, Drunk History Christmas (2011) and The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) Mendes, whose other hits include Training Day (2001), Hitch (2005) and The Other Guys (2010), walked away from the industry in 2014, and she explained in an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper that it wasn’t a challenge for her to leave the profession:  “I was never in love with acting.

I don’t mean this in a self-deprecating way, but I wasn’t a great actress. I had my moments when I worked with really great people.” And she said she was proudest of the two projects she shared with Gosling: “He gets something out of me that’s never been accessible before.” She said she would only return to screen if it was with her husband: “That’s the one thing I would love to do.” Since becoming a mother to her two children, Mendes has founded a cleaning company, modelled for campaigns and recently wrote a children’s book, Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, about a mother helping her young daughter manage her anxiety.
