Eva Mendes Reveals The Touching Reason Why She's Undecided About Acting Again

Eva Mendes recently gushed about her previous experience working with her longtime partner, fellow actor Ryan Gosling . 

During a Tuesday appearance on ABCs Good Morning America,  anchor George Stephanopoulos asked her whether she plans to return to acting. 

Mendes has often discussed her decision to take a step back from acting to spend more time with her and Goslings children, Esmeralda and Amada. 

The Hitch actor told Stephanopoulos that she didnt know whether shell ever return to the industry. 

If theres interesting roles, she said, before noting that she stopped acting about 10 years ago. I kind of felt like I did it. I just worked with Ryan Gosling ...  like the best.

It was such a high off my career to work with him and what we created together, that I was like, This is a good time to Seinfield it and just walk out, she said. So, who knows.

Gosling and Mendes met while filming the 2012 movie The Place Beyond the Pines . Mendes later appeared in a 2014 film, Lost River, which was directed by Gosling. 

The Training Day actor, whos also a childrens book author and co-owner of sponge company Skura Style, told Today in March that her decision to leave the acting world was a no-brainer.

Im so lucky, she said at the time about spending time with her kids. And I still worked, I just didnt act because acting takes you on locations, it takes you away.

It was almost just like a nonverbal agreement, that it was like, OK, [Goslings] going to work and Im going to work Im just going to work here, she continued.
