Hollywood super star Eva Mendes recently revealed in an interview with BANG Showbiz that she didn't exactly share the popular dream of becoming an actress when she was younger, she actually wanted to be a nun! It was only when her older sister told her that nuns don't get paid that she changed her mind and opted for a much more lucrative line of work.

She explained: "We didn't grow up with a lot of money so I would always tell my mum, 'Mommy I am going to buy you a big house when I grow up, and a car'.

And my sister said to me one day when I was ten, 'How are you going to buy mum all these things? You are going to be a nun and nuns don't get paid'. I said, 'What?'and that was it, my convent dreams were over.

I feel I have so much to be thankful for, and it means nothing if I can't give back. I do it within my own family and I do it with certain charities, particularly the art of the Elysium, which helps children in hospital heal themselves through art therapy."

We think men all over the world are pretty grateful that you chose a different career path Eva!
