Eva Mendes Covers November 2008 Harper’s Bazaar

Eva Mendes is the cover girl of the latest November issue of Harpers Bazaar Australia. In the interview, Eva talks about her heritage, her style, dieting and her famous curves.

Here are a few glimpse from Harpers Bazaar November 2008, Australia:

On her curves: “I have to work out four to six times a week. It’s because I enjoy pasta and having a biscuit with my coffee. I didn’t work out today, but tomorrow I’ll run Bondi to Bronte. My Cuban heritage means if the zipper doesn’t zip up the whole way, we just say screw it! No big deal.”

On her exotic look: “I definitely feel my ethnicity or exoticness has got me to where I am, yet at the same time it can also hold me back because studio heads or directors are reluctant to cast me as an all-American girl. Those parts go to Drew Barrymore, who is actually a good friend of mine.”

On her upbringing: “When I was little I wanted to earn lots of money. I grew up in Silver Lake, LA, and we were very working class. I used to say to my mum: I’m going to buy you a big house, pay your bills and you’ll never have to work again. Then I discovered nuns don’t get paid, so I thought: How am I going to buy these houses?”

On her style: “I try not to stand out. My style can be a little kooky, but I don’t want to be known for how I dress. I’ve made a conscious decision to stay away from dresses that make me stand out in a ‘fashiony’ way. I certainly love fashion, but I want to be known for my work. Not for being controversial on the red carpet.”

Eva Longoria Does Self Magazine

Eva Longoria on the cover of Self Magazine

Eva Longoria will grace the cover of Self magazine next month. The Desperate Housewife dishes on how she and her husband, Tony Parker, keep things romantic and fresh, her plans for having children, and how she keeps her toned body.

Eva on how she caters to her husband:

“Some people commute to work in a car. I commute by plane about three times a week. Even if I have one day off, I’m in Texas. We’re so excited to be married. I’m like: ‘Hi, husband’, and he’s like: ‘Hi, wife.’ There’s a sense of: ‘Wow, our lives are going on to the next step’.”

Eva on how she cannot wait until her Desperate Housewives contract ends:

“Tony and I want healthy children, as many as we can have - three, four, five. We think about adopting too. We’ll wait a year and see. I want to work as much as I can now and pay my dues so later I can focus on my family and enjoy the fruits of my labour.”

Eva on her strict workout routine:

“I love my trainer, Patrick Murphy, but I hope every day that he cancels - that he gets stuck in traffic and doesn’t come. But I get really skinny when I don’t work out. When I do, I think: ‘I worked out today. I can do anything’.”

Eva Mendes - Latina Magazine

Read on as Latina reveals what you may not have known about this sultry starlet

On the hot opening scene of We Own the Night…

“Unfortunately, yes [I had to get buzzed]. It was a big deal, even though you’ve seen me do more nudity. We were rehearsing the scene one morning, and I started crying like a little Catholic girl.”

“I told him (Papi) and everybody else in my family to come 15 minutes late [to the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival].”

On the Ideal Role…Dark & Risqué!

“A lot of actresses are so stuck on looking beautiful, and I really am not. I’m about letting the beauty and the ugliness come out.”

Fave Latina Actresses in Hollywood:

“I admire all of us, because it’s not easy to tear down boundaries. I adore Penelope Cruz. I remember going to see Volver and just crying. I love the up-and-coming ones, too, like Zoë Saldana – she’s a really funny girl. I just want more of us.”

Looking back to her childhood:

“It’s just so hard to go to school and be a 12-year-old, period. I wanted to have finer features, I didn’t want to be so dark, I didn’t want to have my mom speaking Spanish in front of the school where everyone was watching. But thank G-d it was just a phase.”

As for her beau, George Augusto…

“Even if you’re complete opposites, what matters is that you balance each other out, like a see saw – you don’t want to be on the floor or up in the sky. I’m really high-strung, loud and obnoxious. My boyfriend is quiet, mild-mannered and completely rational, whereas I’m completely emotional.”

Looking into the future…

“[If I had a daughter], I would teach her about culture. That’s probably why I don’t have kids yet. I feel like I need to go to Cuba first – whether Castro is in power or not – and figure out some stuff on my own. I guess it would be fun to go with my daughter and find out together.”
