Eva Mendes: Cocktails Get Me Through Sex Scenes

Hollywood star Eva Mendes, famous for her roles in 2 Fast 2 Furious and Hitch, has admitted that she finds sex scenes so uncomfortable, that she needs a cocktail or two to help her get through.
“I wasn’t comfortable at all,” Eva told reporters at Cannes, when asked about her first ever sex scenes with Joaquin Phoenix in her new flick We Own the Night.
“They (the crew) were very sweet and they poured me a vodka and orange juice and then I was fine,” she said.
“I’m very professional and I don’t usually drink on the job but that morning I had a little vodka and OJ.”
This is what Eva had to say about the actual filming of the steamy scene:
“It was my first sex scene and thank God it was with [director] James Gray. Not that it was actually with James… He did it at the end of the shoot, so it was the last day and I was really, really comfortable with these clowns (in reference to Phoenix and Gray).”
When Mendes was asked whether it helped detach emotion and pretend it was really the character that was nude, and not her, she said: “My boob is still my boob… Wow, that sounded really stupid.”
Maybe she’d had one too many OJ and vodka’s when she did this interview??
