A vodka solves Eva Mendes's cold feet

Actress Eva Mendes needed a cocktail to calm her nerves before shooting a steamy nude sex scene with actor Joaquin Phoenix. The Cuban American stripped onscreen for the first time for the scene in We Own The Night.

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, 33-year-old Mendes says, "I wasn't comfortable at all. They were very sweet and they poured me a vodka and orange juice and then I was fine, I'm very professional and I don't usually drink on the job but that morning I had a little vodka and OJ.".
