Eva Mendes lucky for being an adult actress

New Delhi (ANI): Eva Mendes has revealed that she is glad she was an adult before she came into the spotlight as an actress. The American actress, who rose to prominence with 2003's 2 Fast 2 Furious at the age of 28, felt blessed to have the maturity to handle fame unlike her younger counterparts in Hollywood, reports China Daily.

She said: "There are a lot of lost little souls in Hollywood a lot of young women who have so much, who come into fame and fortune when they are young, and it's very difficult to handle that. "I just thank my lucky stars for being an adult before being an actress."

The Hitch star further added that she despised being frequently questioned about reported disputed with her female co-stars. She said: "It's a very sexist way of thinking. Nobody ever asks that when men work together in an ensemble cast. I have been in the business 10 years and I've never had a negative situation with another actress ever!"
