Eva Mendes detests being compared to Jennifer Lopez, because she thinks she takes her acting career more seriously than the singer.
Mendes says that she’s made it to Hollywood, thanks to her success in the films Training Day, Ghost Rider and Hitch, whereas Lopez acts, sings and gets involved in the fashion industry.
"I would like to think I will have a more serious career than J.Lo. We may both be of Latin origin but that’s where the comparisons stop. She manages her career like the head of a big corporation, whereas the only thing I care about is becoming the best actress possible," explains Mendes.
