Cuban bombshell Eva Mendes didn’t always dream of being a successful actress. Mendes reavealed to Digital Spy: ShowBiz that she intially intended to pursue being a nun. According to Eva:
“We didn’t grow up with a lot of money, so I would always tell my mom, ‘Mommy I am going to buy you a big house when I grow up and a car,’ ” says Mendes, who explained that she gave up on her convent dreams to pursue the more lucrative profession of acting.
“My sister said to me one day when I was ten, ‘How are you going to buy mom all these things? You are going to be a nun and nuns don’t get paid,’ ” explained Mendes. “I said, ‘What?’ and that was it.”
