Eva Mendes hasn’t been in a movie in over seven years! After a diverse career starring in everything from rom coms like Hitch to serious dramas like The Place Beyond The Pines, she just… stopped.
But she wants everyone to know she “never quit”!
Taking to Instagram on Friday morning, the 2 Fast 2 Furious alum clarified all the talk about her exit from the big screen. The way she explains it the reasons she hasn’t been in anything in a long time are twofold.

Sad, but true. Being an actor means being willing to travel all over to wherever movies are being filmed — Vancouver, Bulgaria, Mississippi — you go where the work is. That clearly didn’t work for Momma!

But it wasn’t just motherhood that kept her away. While she didn’t “quit” per se, she also never found a reason to come back either. The roles she was seeing apparently weren’t exactly enticing. She continued:
Lost River is a mostly forgotten little arthouse film (with a stellar cast). But it clearly meant a lot to Eva — not the least of which because it was made by her baby daddy and remains Ryan’s sole directorial effort.
Eva finished by explaining why it was important to her to make the distinction between not acting and quitting acting. She explained:
So… don’t call it a comeback when she eventually finds a role she wants to take, we guess? The girls are getting older, so we’re guessing once that requirement is off the table she’ll jump at the first

It’s always been like this,” said “Vida” creator and ULP member Tanya Saracho while opening DEAR Hollywood and UTA’s Latine Heritage Month event. “We are allowed a glimpse of light here and there, but we always go back in the shadows. We never remained in the light long enough to make substantial progress.”
