 Where You’ve Seen Her: Hitch, Stuck On You
Soon to be found in: Ghost Rider
If you’re not familiar with Eva Mendes, you need to get out from under the rock that’s been blocking you from general contact with the outside world. After all, Eva’s been in front of the camera for a long time now, having worked thus far with an amazing calvaclade of actors such as Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Matt Damon and so forth. This month, she adds Nicholas Cage to the list thanks to Ghost Rider, her new film that proves she’s no Desperate Housewife…not that she ever was one or could ever be confused with one.
So, I’m not really sure how to phrase this, but I was really curious. How often nowadays do people mistake you for Eva Longoria?
Never.
Really?! Come on!
Why would they?
Because of your first name, I guess.
Yeah, it’s never happened to me. My name is Eva Mendes. Her name is Eva Longoria and we’re two totally different actors. I mean, do people mistake Michael Cain and Michael Douglas because they have the same first name?
If they’re blind maybe.
Exactly. So, unless you’re blind, you obviously know that there is a huge difference and that we are two different actresses.
Well, in the future if it happens, hopefully you’ll be able to laugh about it.
It hasn’t happened so far, but I’ll think of you if it ever does. It’s never happened besides right now. I think it’s silly, just cause you have the same name. I’ve never even heard of that.
Any special plans for Valentine’s Day?
I don’t celebrate Valentine’s. I think it’s silly because it pressures couples and forces them to celebrate. I never put pressure on guys to buy or send me anything on Valentine’s Day.
Not even the little candy hearts?
I think it’s sweet, but it’s more business than it is a day about celebrating your love.
Speaking of depression, are you prepared come February 16 to become the adulation of nerd’s worldwide when your new movie Ghost Rider comes out?
Being that I am a nerd at heart, absolutely! I love, love, love this movie! I hope the diehard fans really love it. The Roxanne in the comic looks a lot different than I did, so I’m hoping that fans will still accept me and dig me in it.
According to the story of Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, the stunt cyclist, sells his soul in order to save the life of his mentor. Obviously, having to sell your soul is a pretty heavy idea. Regardless, what would Eva Mendes sell her soul for?
Well, I kind of sell my soul every day a little bit in this industry, so its not as shocking to me as it might seem. It sounds corny, but I would sell it for a really amazing New York pizza.
Mmmmm! Any toppings??
No, I’m just gonna go for margaritas, just cheese and a ton of crushed red pepper.
That sounds pretty delicious. I don’t know if that enough for me to sell my soul for…maybe my car. Either way, my next question is kind of hypothetical: who do you think would win in a motorcycle race? Ghost Rider or Arthur Fonzarelli?
Ummm…I would have to say Ghost Rider. I would be rooting for Fonzie, but Ghost Rider would most definitely beat him though.
What about in a dance contest?
I’m gonna give that one to the Fonz.
Yeah, you gotta go with the Fonz on that one. I don’t think Fonzie has the torture deep seeded like Ghost Rider.
Remember those Happy Days episodes when he would get so sad and sentimental?
But his head wasn’t on fire though.
Yeah, you’re right.
