The Cuban star of 'Hitch',  Eva Mendes says that she's so comfortable in her birthday suit that she even weeds her flowerbeds and prunes her bushes completely naked.

 

Eva said, "I love being naked. I do everything in the nude, even the gardening! We're Cuban, and it's a hot island. Why not go nude?".

 

However she was not so comfortable stripping off in front of the cameras for her new movie with Joaquin Phoenix, 'We Own the Night', which opens with Eva's raunchiest sex scene ever.

 

She was apparently so nervous that she had to get drunk to shoot the scene. She said, "It's not a natural thing on camera, so it's always going to be a little awkward. It was tough. That morning I was so nervous that the director was like, 'Why don't you put a little vodka in your orange juice?'. So I did. It took the edge off. It's weird to see myself in bed with Joaquin up on the big screen. I told my mom she has to come fifteen minutes late. She wouldn't live through that first scene, she'd have a heart attack. The poor lady would keel over in the movie theatre".
