Every gal has that one special pair of skinny jeans… Eva Mendes held onto hers for
years —OK, decades—in the hopes of eventually fitting into them one fateful day. The stunning actress just posted a throwback pic on her Instagram account, showing her on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines wearing a pair of super-short shorts and a blue tank top.
A fan of Ryan Gosling’s leading lady immediately commented, “I read somewhere where those were shorts from your 20s and that you tore the sides for the movie!”
Mendes, who often takes the time to respond to those who reach out to her via social media, confirmed by writing, “Yes! Totally true!”
The 41-year-old added, “I had to get skinny for the role because my character required it, so I actually fit into them. Last time I wore them was when I was 19!”
