Eva Mendes Reveals How Her And Ryan Gosling’s Daughters Were ‘Not Impressed’ After She Showed Them A Scene From Hitch

As a lifestyle expert, I find Eva Mendes‘ candid revelation about her daughters not being impressed by her movies quite relatable and amusing. Having children who are indifferent to your career achievements can be both humbling and comical, as they remind us that our lives revolve around them rather than our professional accomplishments.


Eva Mendes recently disclosed that her two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada (who are with her partner Ryan Gosling), haven’t watched any of their mother’s films from her acting career yet. In an interesting turn of events, Mendes attempted to show them a specific scene from her 2005 romantic comedy film Hitch that she felt ‘proud’ about. However, the actress confessed that her daughters were less than enthused when they watched the scene. More details on this topic can be found below!

On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Eva Mendes recently talked about her new book titled Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries. When asked if her daughters Esmeralda and Amada had seen any of her films, Mendes replied that they hadn’t, stating that she believes they are uninterested.

The actress from Holy Motors shared, “Around a year ago, I attempted to share with them a particular scene from Hitch that I took pride in, as I’m fearful of deep, mysterious waters – specifically the jet ski sequence featuring myself and my co-star Will Smith.

Mendes mentioned that she had to execute a humorous physical stunt in the Hudson River, which left her “quite apprehensive.” She also shared that on that particular day, she confronted her fear and successfully completed the stunt, feeling a sense of pride. The actress reminisced about an instance when she endeavored to motivate her daughters by narrating the background of that scene, stating, “Once upon a time, one of my girls was afraid, and I saw it as a chance to demonstrate what I can do.

She noted that she played the scene for them, saying it was “Mama facing her fear.” However, her daughters were “not impressed at all,” noting, “They were just like, ‘Oh, cool, Mama! Can we go outside?'”

As the discussion continued, the host inquired if I had seen the popular fantasy comedy film starring Ryan Gosling as Barbie. To this, Mendes enthusiastically agreed, expressing that it was a moving experience due to the prominent role of young girls. She revealed that her daughters played a pivotal part in her decision to take on the role. With around thirty Barbie dolls occupying their home and just one Ken, she felt compelled, saying, “There’s something special here!

Currently, Eva Mendes has voiced her contemplations regarding a potential comeback to acting in movies. While discussing her latest book on Good Morning America, she hinted at her reservations, suggesting that any return would be contingent upon finding suitable and intriguing roles.

Mendes expressed, “I departed at a point in time about 10 years back when I felt like I had accomplished something significant, you know, as I collaborated with Ryan Gosling. He’s truly remarkable,” further mentioning, “Now seems to be the perfect moment to take a Seinfeld-like exit and just depart. So, who can say?
