Eva Mendes once wanted to be a nun
Hollywood star Eva Mendes once wanted to be a nun, she has revealed.
She said: "I was a really prude little girl actually. When I was five years old, I told my mother that I wanted to be a nun.
"We weren't really religious or anything but I just thought I want to be a nun and serve God.
"And then we grew up and we didn't grow up poor certainly but lower middle-class - there were a lot of bills piling up and I saw my mother worrying often about money so I would always promise that I was going to pay her bills and buy her a big house when I was older."
But Eva decided being a nun wasn't for her when her elder sister told her they don't get paid.
She said: "I was like, 'what? nuns don't get paid?!' And that was it... I have a feeling it wouldn't have worked out anyway."
The Hitch star also admitted that she thinks she can sometimes look ugly.
She said: "I think I'm pretty unconventional.
"I think I can be, as pretty as I am, ugly. I'm not ugly but you know what I mean.
"I think I'm unconventional and I kind of work that sometimes. I have big teeth and I've got a strong nose, I don't know.
"I can kind of make myself not as cute - I can play it up or play it down."
