Life

11. Eva Mendes

First gaining a lot of people’s attention when she landed a supporting role in Training Day, Eva Mendes shared the screen with heavyweights like Denzel Washington but still stole our attention. Able to do so because her role in the movie allowed her to show off both her acting skills and splendid looks, she would go on to become something of a household name. Best known today for films like 2 Fast 2 Furious, Ghost Rider, The Other Guys, and The Place Beyond the Pines, her acting chops have blown audiences away for years now.

That said, on top of seeming like a lovely person on film, she is also extremely appealing to the eye.

An incredible performer as anyone who has seen her early work in Winter’s Bone can attest, she has gone on to give several award-winning performances that blew people away for good reason. Also a huge star due to appearing in movie franchises like Hunger Games and X-Men, she also was a part of other notable flicks like Passengers. Someone who doesn’t seem to carry herself with any pretense, Jennifer acts like she is a regular person who we could envision living beside us despite being a bewitching beauty.
