Did Eva Mendes have plastic surgery?
Eva Mendes was born on March 5, 1974 in Miami, Florida, United States to Cuban parents. She was raised by her mother in Glendale, a suburb in Los Angeles after her parents had divorced. She studied at Hoover High School in Glendale. She later attended California State University, Northridge to study marketing.
She left college to pursue acting, which she began by taking acting classes with Ivana Chubbuck. Her acting career then started after a talent manager saw her photo in a friend’s portfolio. In 1998, she made her first film appearance in Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror.
Disappointed in her performance, she subsequently hired an acting coach and landed roles in such films as A Night at the Roxbury, My Brother the Pig and The Disciples. She also made a guest appearance in the television appearance Mortal Kombat: Konquest.
In 2000, she landed the role of Vanessa Valdeon in the slasher film Urban Legends: Final Cut. The movie received poor reviews from critics but was a moderate box office success with its worldwide gross of $38,574,362 against its $14 million budget.
The following year, she co-starred with Steven Seagal in the action film Exit Wounds. Though its reception was mixed to negative, it became a surprise box office hit, earning $79,958,599 worldwide. She then gained substantial attention after being cast as Sara Harris opposite Denzel Washington in the 2001 critically acclaimed film Training Day.
She next appeared as Gina in the action comedy All About the Benjamins. The film was poorly received by critics but was a moderate box office success. In 2003, she starred in 2 Fast 2 Furious, the second movie in the The Fast and the Furious film installment.
In the film, she played Monica Fuentes, an undercover U.S. Customs Service agent. 2 Fast 2 Furious garnered negative reviews but was a major box office success, earning $236,350,661 worldwide. This was followed by another role in Robert Rodriguez’s Once Upon a Time in Mexico, alongside Antonio Banderas, Willem Dafoe and Johnny Depp.
Later in 2003, she reunited with Training Day co-star Denzel Washington in the thriller film Out of Time. Her last film for 2003 was the comedy feature Stuck on You, alongside Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. She then took a break from the big screen for two years and returned in 2005 with the romantic comedy Hitch, opposite Will Smith. Hitch received mixed to positive reviews from critics and was a major box office hit, earning $368,100,420.
Is this before and after images of Eva Mendes rhinoplasty – nose job? True or not?
If you take a look at Eva Mendes plastic surgery before and after photo, you will really be able to tell that her face has had some subtle changes made to it. Many actresses thing that they can get some small procedures and people won’t ever really notice that they have been under the knife. Sure, hair styles, make-up artists, and other non invasive procedures can help to enhance appearance, but it seems that Eva’s changes are more drastic- and that has had a lot of people speculating about whether or not she had plastic surgery.
It appears, from the images, that she may have had a brow lift done at some point. This has actually changed her face a whole lot, and made it look more open. She might have done this to help get rid of some of the fine lines and wrinkles that may have started to show up as she got older. The good news is that she still looks amazing. This is great considering that many actresses don’t have the best results when they are having cosmetic procedures done.
Eva has even labeled plastic surgery as being ‘brutal’ and that she wouldn’t ever do it. She also finds it to be invasive. This really is no proof that she didn’t have any procedure done though, because many Hollywood stars have said that they were against plastic surgery, just to turn around to do it behind the scenes. It just happens, even though it seems hypocritical.
