Eva Mendes Talks Ryan Gosling and Body Image
Marie Claire cover girl Eva Mendes opens up in the March issue about her professional relationship with boyfriend Ryan Gosling, calling the 31-year-old heartthrob "a dream."
"He's your dream co-star," she told the magazine. "I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film." Mendes is referring to The Place Beyond the Pines, in which she stars alongside Gosling. The couple met on set and have been dating for six months.
Like everyone else, the 37-year-old beauty had to struggle to accept her "imperfections."
"I feel it's important to let women know that I have similar struggles," she said. "What I tell girls is what they don't like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that's what happened to me."
She also admits to hating her overbite and mole while growing up, but later realized "your imperfections are why people love you."
