Eva Mendes: Honest Talk About Cosmetic Procedures and the Hollywood Grind
Eva Mendes, that awesome actress and mom to two daughters with Ryan Gosling, recently gave an amazingly candid interview with The Times (published October 17th), and it was very interesting. The discussion included some unexpected yet incredibly refreshing and open topics which surprisingly cover some important issues in Hollywood.

This showcases a very mature perspective on these incredibly topical issues.
Mendes says she isn’t afraid of trying "safe" cosmetic procedures. She believes most treatments are reversible, particularly those that don't involve surgery; but she acknowledges regrets surrounding previous attempts; mentioning the need to simply wait for treatments to fade if dissatisfied, indicating this openness to accept some negative outcomes with treatments. And guess what's next? She is even considering laser treatment on her jaw. This all is set against that personal revelation, discussing how turning 50 earlier this year changed her and her own relationship with her image and expectations.
