Actress Eva Mendes, known for films like Hitch and The Place Beyond the Pines, discusses the possibility of returning to acting after taking a break to focus on motherhood. She also talks about her new children's book, 'Desi, Mami, and The Never-Ending Worries,' and how it has helped her daughters deal with anxiety.
Will she or won't she return to acting? It's the question Eva Mendes has been fielding for ten years since last appearing in a motion picture. Consciously deciding to curb her appearances on the big screen in an effort to prioritize motherhood, Mendes has been raising her two daughters, Esmerelda, 10, and Amada, 8, whom she shares with longtime love Ryan Gosling.
Mendes appeared on Good Morning America on Tuesday, to promote her book, 'Desi, Mami, and The Never-Ending Worries,' and opened up about if she'll ever return to the big screen. 'I don't know. If there's interesting roles…I kind of felt like I did it, you know? I was like, ‘I just worked with Ryan Gosling. He's like, the best,'' she said, referencing her 2012 flick, 'The Place Beyond the Pines.
When talking about her book on 'Good Morning American,' she noted that writing it was actually beneficial to her parenting. 'Desi has these never-ending worries — I have them as well,' Mendes admitted of the book's main character. 'And she tries to work with her brain to…make sure it's not being a bully to her, by sending all these negative thoughts her way, and that it's being like a BFF to her.
