Eva Mendes says whether she will return to acting

Eva Mendes recently raved about her previous experiences working with her long-time partner, fellow actor Ryan Gosling.

During an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” ​​on Tuesday, host George Stephanopoulos asked her if she planned to return to acting.

Mendes has often spoken about her decision to retire from acting to spend more time with her and Gosling’s children, Esmeralda and Amada.

The “Hitch” actress told Stephanopoulos she doesn’t know if she will ever return to the industry.

“When there are interesting roles,” she said, before noting that she quit acting about 10 years ago. “I kind of felt like I had made it. I just worked with Ryan Gosling… like the best.”

“Working with him and what we created together was such a highlight of my career that I thought, ‘This is a good time to make it ‘Seinfield’ and just go,'” she said. “So who knows.”

Gosling and Mendes met while filming the 2012 movie “The Place Beyond the Pines.” Mendes later appeared in the 2014 film “Lost River,” directed by Gosling.

The “Training Day” actress, who is also a children’s book author and co-owner of the sponge company Skura Style, told “Today” in March that her decision to leave the world of acting was a “no-brainer.”

“I’m so lucky,” she said at the time of the time she spent with her children. “And I still worked, I just didn’t act, because acting takes you places, it takes you away.”

“It was almost like a nonverbal agreement, like, ‘OK, (Gosling) is going to work and I’m going to work – I’m just going to work here,'” she continued.
