Actress Eva Mendes wants people to think of her as 'brave' when she bares all in movies. The pretty 36-year-old thinks she is treated differently in comparison to other actors and actresses when it comes to nude scenes. Eva Allure magazine: '[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?' Mendes, who is known for her appearances in films such as 2 Fast 2 Furious, would also prefer to be known more for her humour and intellect rather than her looks. She added: 'I don’t want 'sexy' to be my defining characteristic.'
