My Ambition is Coming Back, Says Eva Mendes on Returning to Films

Melbourne: Actor Eva Mendes may soon end her acting hiatus as she says she is finally feeling the urge to return to acting. Mendes took break from movies to take care of her and partner, actor Ryan Gosling’s, daughters Esmeralda, six, and four-year-old Amada In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, the Hitchstar said her ambition is “coming back” now that her kids are a little older. “I feel like, as far as my ambition, it didn’t go away, it just shifted onto the children. I applaud and look up to those women who can do it all, but I’m not one of them and, thankfully, I have a choice not to work and I realize how fortunate I am that it’s even a choice, Mendes said. I’ve been so happy to be able to incubate with my babies, but now they are four and six, I’m starting to feel like my ambition is coming back, she added. Mendes’ last feature film was 2014’s Lost River, which also marked Gosling’s directorial debut.
