“She has really become the best acting coach I’ve ever had”: Eva Mendes May Not Return to Movies But Her Role in Ryan Gosling’s Hollywood Fame is Pretty Underrated
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes stand out in Hollywood. They are the true example of a power couple who flourish on mutual respect and support for each other. The two started dating back in 2011 while working on the movie The Place Beyond the Pines.
In the film, Gosling took on the role of Luke Glanton (a motorcycle stuntman who gets involved in crime), while Eva Mendes portrayed Romina Gutierrez (Luke’s ex-lover who raises their son as a single mother).
Since then, they’ve kept their relationship private and don’t often appear together in public. Despite having been in a relationship since 2011 and having two daughters – Esmeralda and Amada – the public eye didn’t know they were married until a decade later. It was 2022, when the 50 year-old actress confirmed her marriage status with the Barbie star.
Besides all that, the Hollywood stars are going strong. Even recently, Gosling shared how much he values his wife, not just as a partner and parent, but also as a secret weapon for his acting. He talked about her support and how she influences his career in surprising ways.
The Quiet Influence of Eva Mendes in Ryan Gosling’s Hollywood Stardom
Ryan Gosling isn’t shy when it comes to expressing gratitude for his wife, Eva Mendes‘s constant support. The mom of two hasn’t been in a movie for ten years, but she’s been happily taking care of their kids at home. Although both Gosling and Mendes share the responsibilities of parenting their daughters, which helps create a strong family bond.
As the Canadian actor told Extra,
“She is with the girls, and when she works, I stay home with the girls too. I couldn’t be here without her.”
But his praise for his wifey goes beyond this. He openly credits Mendes as his acting coach, appreciating her invaluable advice and commitment to his career.
“She’s also like my acting coach.” The 43 year-old added and continued, “She has really become the best acting coach I have ever had, it’s endless how she helps me.”
This is not just a cute anecdote but it shows the the strength of their partnership and the trust they have in each other.
