Eva Mendes’ deep thoughts: loves chocolate, hates working out

I feel badly for female celebrities. In interviews they always have to talk about what they eat, why they eat, what their workout regimen is and how often they get Botox. There are far too many interviews focus on mundane crap like that. Nearly every celeb says the same thing, “Oh I hate working out!” “Oh I love to just eat whatever I want!” And we’re supposed to believe that they naturally have those bodies without any work whatsoever.

But it’s sorta nice to hear a celeb give us the courtesy of both admitting they like to eat and they have to work hard to look good. Eva Mendes is a good example. The low-key actress, who doesn’t give a lot of interviews, admits that she loves food and has to work out a lot because she puts on weight easily.

Eva Mendes has revealed she loves eating and she hates exercise. The 34-year-old actress – who recently bared almost everything for Calvin Klein’s Secret Obsession perfume advert – insists her perfect figure is not the result of a strict diet.

Eva told Grazia magazine: “I’m like every other girl across the globe – I love chocolate and I hate working out. But the truth is I have to do it. I like to eat. I cannot hold back. I cannot skip a meal. So I get into the gym; I do a lot of cardio then some light weight training. Weight is easy for me to put on, and I’m thankful that it’s pretty easy to take off.”

The Hitch star admits there is pressure on Hollywood stars to stay slim. She confessed: “Of course I take care of myself, and of course I have to look a certain way, because I’m an actress. There’s also that little rebel inside of me saying that nobody’s going to tell me how much I need to weigh or what I need to look like to fit in. I’m very defiant – I want it on my terms.

“Last year they thought I was pregnant because I had a bulge. I’d had pasta! I’d had a big lunch! Who really cares?”

Though I appreciate her candor, I kind of hope for Eva’s sake that she talked about a few more interesting topics than food and working out. Girls liking chocolate isn’t exactly a news flash. That said, I’m eating some right now so I’ll shut the hell up.

Eva does have an amazing body though she doesn’t look the type to put on weight easily, unless she’s talking about two pounds. She always looks trim and healthy and never takes it too far in either direction. Whatever she’s doing, it’s looking good on her.

Here’s Eva on the set of her new movie “Last Night” in Manhattan yesterday. Images thanks to Fame.

    I’m really “meh” about Eva. I think she’s a very pretty girl, but I don’t think she’s particularly bright, talented or interesting.

    And I just had some chocolate, so I’m good, thank you. *smug*

    Well, the blog is called celebitchy, not celenicey. Check the sign above the door before walking in.

    I thought she was good as Joquain’s girlfriend in that movie– We Own the Night. Did anyone see that? She is very pretty…wonder what was up with her visit to rehab. I read that she was involved with Joquain at one point during filming, but it ended badly, and we all know about his demons…

  9. I love Eva Mendes, her acting and how “real” she comes off in her interviews. This chick was basically naked in Training Day and well, in most movies. If I could eat what I wanted and just hit the gym for an hour to look like that, then believe you me, I would talk about it. I’d also be naked most of the time, but that’s neither here nor there. Oh and by the way, in the interviews I’ve read she DEFINITELY does more than talk about her weight and what she eats! She talks about being cuban, and her daily affirmations. That’s deep stuff.

  11. Not that I’m totally impressed, but this is more than I expected when I found a link on Digg telling that the info is quite decent. Thanks.
