Eva Mendes has done many a gritty cop drama from Exit Wounds to Training Day to We Own The Night to Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans. She’s also done many comedies including Stuck On You, Hitch, and The Women.
Now the 36 year-old actress gets the chance to parlay the two styles of film together in her latest role as Sheila Ramos Gamble in the buddy cop comedy The Other Guys. In the film, Mendes’s character is the wife of Will Ferrell’s character, Allen, a forensic accountant who becomes a detective and teams up with a trigger-happy partner, played by Mark Wahlberg.

“Please help me out,” she adds, “So you no longer know how men really react to you, they just react to ‘Dude, there’s that famous girl from Training Day in the other room”, you know? Kind of. No? But its like I just don’t feel like I get that genuine response anymore.”
As Eva continued, she brought up an incident that occurred with her former co-star Will Smith while they were promoting the 2005 romantic comedy hit Hitch together.
“I’ll tell you a little story actually,” Mendes recalls, “Went around the world promoting the film. And he calls me Reva. So one day we were in Rio, we were doing press..... Read the complete interview here Celebrity Interviews
