Eva Mendes, queen of beauty and low-key hilarity, has opened up about her approach to looking fabulous at 50 – and spoiler: it involves embracing lasers, Botox regrets, and “funky” jaws.
In a recent chat with The Times UK, the Hitch star gave us a peek into her beauty regimen and relationship with the most meme-worthy boyfriend on Earth, Ryan Gosling. But she kept it real about more than just red carpet glam, tackling the topic of aging like your funny but stylish aunt who always has good wine and questionable advice.
Botox: The Breakup That Comes Back Around
Eva isn’t one to shy away from a little cosmetic experimentation. “I’m not afraid to try things that are safe,” she confessed. “Botox? Pfft. If it makes me look like a shocked owl, no problem – it fades! It’s like dating your ex; even if it goes badly, just wait, and poof, it’s over!”
She admits to having a few beauty regrets along the way, but luckily, it’s not permanent. “There have been times I’ve thought, ‘Yikes, what was I thinking?’ But it’s all good – you just wait it out. Kind of like waiting for Ryan to get out of his ‘Ken phase.’”
The Jaw Saga: Funky Edition
And then, there’s the jaw. Yes, her jaw apparently went rogue. Eva joked, “My jaw got funky!” which, let’s be honest, sounds like a medical diagnosis from Dr. Seuss. She’s considering zapping it with some cutting-edge laser tech because, hey, if we can laser off hair, why not funky jaws too?
Turning 50: The Spacey Chronicles
Now let’s talk about The Big Five-Oh. Eva is vibing with it – kinda. “It’s just a wild number,” she said. “Like, one minute I’m skipping through life feeling like a 20-something, and the next, I’m like, ‘Wait, I’m half a century old? That can’t be right. I still watch cartoons!’”
But hitting 50 isn’t all existential spirals. Eva says she’s been feeling a bit… well… extra spacey. “I forget everything. You ask me what day it is, and honestly, I might tell you it’s still 2013. I think it’s the hormones – or maybe it’s just the side effect of being Ryan Gosling’s girlfriend for over a decade. Who can keep track of reality?”
In true Eva Mendes fashion, she’s rolling with the punches, wrinkles, and weird hormonal vibes. Whether it’s contemplating her next laser adventure or laughing at the chaos of it all, Eva proves that hitting 50 is a little weird, a little spacey, and a whole lot of fabulous.
One thing’s for sure: if a funky jaw and Botox mishaps are part of the aging process, we’re officially here for the ride.
