Eva Mendes Dishes About Sex Scene
Part of the job as an actress sometimes involves getting freaky with a friend. And for Eva Mendes, her sex scene was a bit uncomfortable early on.
For her movie, “We Own The Night” Mendes acted out her first sex scene with “Walk The Line” star Joaquin Phoenix. “I wasn’t comfortable at all,” she told reporters Friday at the Cannes press conference.
"They were very sweet and they poured me a vodka and orange juice and then I was fine,” she said. “I’m very professional and I don’t usually drink on the job but that morning I had a little vodka and OJ,” she said, laughing.
“It was my first sex scene and thank God it was with [director] James Gray. Not that it was actually with James,” she said, correcting herself to much laughter. “He did it at the end of the shoot, so it was the last day and I was really, really comfortable with these clowns,” she said, indicating Phoenix and Gray.
Apparently, it didn’t help Mendes to think of it being her character instead of her. “My boob is still my boob.” She paused, then added: “Wow, that sounded really stupid.”
Enjoy the pictures of Eva at the “We Own The Night” photocall in Cannes on May 25, as well as the Wendell Baker Story premiere a few weeks back.
