Eva Mendes Loves Going Nude for Gardening
Actress Eva Mendes loves gardening in the nude because she feels more comfortable. But she doesn’t like being naked in front of cameras. Dailysnack.com quoted her as saying: ‘I love being naked. I do everything in the nude, even the gardening! We’re Cuban, and it’s a hot island. Why not go nude?’
But she is not as comfortable being naked for her new movie with Joaquin Phoenix. The movie ‘We Own the Night’ features her most graphic sex scene yet on screen. She was so nervous she had to get drunk to calm her nerves.
She said: ‘It’s not a natural thing on camera, so it’s always going to be a little awkward. It was tough. That morning I was so nervous that the director was like, ‘Why don’t you put a little vodka in your orange juice?’ So I did. It took the edge off.
‘It’s weird to see myself in bed with Joaquin up on the big screen. I told my mom she has to come 15 minutes late. She wouldn’t live through that first scene – she’d have a heart attack.’
