“I’m not afraid to try things that are safe, because most of these little treatments, let’s say, are reversible,” the actress said

Eva Mendes is sharing her thoughts on beauty treatments.
The Place Beyond the Pines actress, 50, spoke to The Times UK in a new interview about topics ranging from how Ryan Gosling makes her feel sexy to utilizing Botox and other cosmetic enhancements.
“I’m not afraid to try things that are safe, because most of these little treatments, let’s say, are reversible,” Mendes explained. “If you get Botox, it goes away if you don’t like it. There have been times where I’ve regretted something … and then you just wait it out.”
The star also said that she has considered having her jaw lasered in the past, as she described it as getting “funky.”

While speaking with The Times UK, Mendes also reflected on turning 50 in March.
“It was totally fine. It’s just that number sounds crazy,” she told the publication. “I feel like a girl inside and I’m like, oh my God, I’m not a girl anymore.”
The Hitch actress also said that she feels “extra spacey” in this part of her life.
“I forget everything. I think that’s part of being 50. I think I’m looking down the barrel of hormonal changes,” she explained.
Mendes opened up to PEOPLE about turning 50 in The Beautiful Issue this May, reflecting on what she thought her life at 50 would look like when she was younger.

“I don’t think I imagined my life over 30 when I was younger,” she said at the time. “I thought 30 was old then. I don’t think I had a picture of what I wanted my life to look like. I never did, but I’m pretty happy it’s turning out the way it is.”
The Hitch actress also spoke about how she defines beauty at 50 years old. “At 50, I define beauty as not definable. It can be anything and everything. It’s all around you,” she said.
“If you’re open to seeing it, it’s everywhere,” Mendes added.
