Eva Mendes, the renowned actress, recently discussed her career and potential return to acting during an appearance on “Good Morning America” (GMA). Mendes, who stepped away from acting over a decade ago to prioritize motherhood and family time with her partner Ryan Gosling, expressed uncertainty about returning but mentioned that she would consider it for the right role. Reflecting on her decision to take a break from acting, Mendes stated that she felt satisfied with her accomplishments in the industry at that time.
Since leaving the spotlight, Mendes has redirected her creative energy towards other ventures such as the beauty and fashion industry. Most notably, she recently released a children’s book titled “Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries.” The book addresses childhood anxiety and offers guidance on managing emotions. In an Instagram post about the book’s release, Mendes emphasized its personal significance to her and expressed hope that it would help children navigate their own feelings.
Mendes also opened up about how becoming a parent shifted her mindset. She described how naming anxiety as a bully helped both herself and her children cope with their anxious thoughts. In previous interviews, Mendes reiterated that she has no regrets about stepping back from acting and acknowledged the privilege she had in making that choice.
While acting will always hold a special place in Mendes’ heart, being present for her children remains paramount in her life. As a result of this priority shift, she now approaches potential roles more selectively. She avoids projects involving excessive violence or explicit sexual content.
Mendes initially gained recognition for her performance in the 2001 film “Training Day” before going on to star in various successful movies such as “2 Fast 2 Furious,” “Hitch,” and “Ghost Rider.” Although undecided about returning to acting at this time, fans eagerly await any future projects featuring Eva Mendes’ talent on screen once again.
