Eva Mendes shared personal reflections on her career, raising questions about a possible return to acting. After a long break to devote herself to raising her two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, with actor Ryan Gosling, the star seems uncertain about returning to the profession that made her famous. In a recent interview, the actress said that she could return if she gets "interesting" roles. Her last appearance on the big screen dates back to 2014, in the thriller Lost River, directed by Gosling himself. Eva Mendes had already worked with her husband in 2012 when they both starred in the film The Place Beyond the Pines.
Speaking about those moments, the actress fondly recalled her professional journey, saying that she had experienced a high point in her career and felt it was the right time to take a break. In the years since, Eva Mendes has decided to focus on her family, finding a new creative direction away from the Hollywood lights. Her recent project, a children's picture book titled Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, addresses issues related to childhood anxiety, to raise awareness of this topic among young readers and their families.
The actress described the book as a story of friendship and inner growth, exploring the relationship between a child and her brain, in an ongoing dialogue to manage negative thoughts. Mendes' decision to step away from the cinema was not only professional. The actress explained how motherhood played a central role in her decision to stay at home, allowing her husband to continue his film career. For Mendes, the possibility of being present in her daughters' daily lives was an indisputable priority.
