Quotables

“[When] other actresses who aren’t thought of, maybe, as being quite as attractive do full-frontal, they’re called brave. Nobody has ever said, ‘Eva, you’re so brave for doing full-frontal nudity.’ Just because I’m attractive doesn’t mean it’s not still scary. Why am I not brave?”

Eva Mendes in a recent interview with Allure magazine on exposing her lady bits for the sake of thee-ah-tah. Or crap movies, dealer’s choice.

  • STFU Eva, there’s nothing brave about showing your boobs for millions of dollars. You are not brave. You are not rescuing children and puppies from a flood. You are making the decision to bare your body for more money than most people will see in a lifetime. S.T.F.U.

    • I detect an angry, possibly jealous woman in this post.

      She’s not saying that she thinks she’s brave, she’s complaining basically that women who are perceived to be less attractive are labelled as “brave” when they do full frontal nudity – when she is doing the same thing.

      I rather suspect that your atrocious, bitter attitude is partially what she’s referring to: you seem to have no room for the possibility that it’s a really big deal for her to pose fully naked. All because she’s far more attractive than you presumably are.

      In other words you’re effectively thinking of her as a piece of meat. Nice!

      • meh. I don’t really care about her either way. I don’t think she’s hot, but I know that others do, so whatever.

        My point is… It’s a choice she’s making and she’s getting paid sh!t-tons of money to do it. I just don’t think she needs to go around saying crap like this. I don’t care who it is. I’m not jealous and I’m not angry. I’d put forth the same complaint against Gabourey Sidibe if she said this. I wouldn’t classify anyone as being brave for getting naked onscreen, because in doing so, she’s really not helping anyone but HERSELF.

      • the point is and you say it yourself is that she’s COMPLAINING. that’s nothing to complain about. go actually suffer and then bitch to me, eva.

    • LOL – that’s the funniest shit I’ve read in a while. Really though? Like, you’ve seen it?? Just curious.

      • rvh: this post is about eva doing full frontal in a movie. full frontal meaning her gash is fully visible.

      • Well, I haven’t seen whatever she’s been naked in… and I assumed that even if it says, “full frontal”, it means, you know, labia and all. Whatever, that’s still an awesome comment. :)

  • She has total meth mouth minus the photoshop, so I don’t know what she is talking about!

    • HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA. Omg I love your comment! Hilarious. I do not agree in that I do not hate Eva Mendes with a passion but I love the comment/”K-Cav” quote.

  • Amazing how women will turn on each other over crap like this. I’m referring to both the blog post and the comments.

    Seems a perfectly reasonable question to ask to me.

  • Everytime i read an interview by her she is talking about how beautiful she is and how proud her mother is for creating someone that beautiful. It just makes her less attractive unfortunately.

    • …and yet when a, um, less attractive woman (screw it, i mean an average looking or plain ugly woman) insists she is attractive shes given kudos for it and people say stuff like “it just shows that beauty is more than skindeep” etc.

      The fact is she is very, very attractive. she’s been voted as such by numerous polls in mens magazines as well as featuring in many, many more. frankly shes just stating the truth. i fail to see how that makes her less attractive.

  • Knowing you’re attractive and going on about how attractive you are, compared to your peers, are two different things altogether.

  • Can anyone ever win? If you are attractive and deny it and say that you don’t think you are or you don’t feel it you are slated for it (whether you mean it genuinely or not). If you state a point and have the confidence to say that you know you are attractive and that you appreciate it, you are slated for it.

    Why should someone who is attractive not get the same praise as someone who is less attractive for doing the same thing? There would be a problem if this was an average woman saying that attractive people are praised more for going topless but because she is an attractive woman it is okay?

    Discrimination.
