The actress put family first.

Eva Mendes revealed one of her childhood dreams. She always wanted to become a nun until she faced harsh reality.

Mendes explained her family didn’t have any money while she was growing up. Because of it, she always told her mother she would buy her a house and a car. After finding out that nuns don’t get paid, Eva gave up on joining a convent.

"And my sister said to me one day when I was ten, 'How are you going to buy mom 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."
