Animal instinct: Eva Mendes smoulders in new photoshootBy Jade Watkins and Andrea MagrathUPDATED: She may be just two years off 40, but Eva Mendes continues to top Hollywood's Hottest lists - and it is not hard to see why. The actress smoulders on the cover of UK Marie Claire magazine this month, showing off her stunning figure. In one shot, Eva, 38, reclines on stairs in a strapless swimsuit, with her endless legs clad in fishnet stockings.

Eva's bouncy, tousled hair tumbles across her face. More...The couple, who continue to thrive despite recent break-up rumours, met on the set of The Place Beyond The Pines last year. 'He’s your dream co-star. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film,' Mendes says of Gosling.

She reveals that like many teenagers, she endured struggles with the way that she looked. 'It doesn’t matter what you have or what you look like. It’s something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that’s not all of me,' she says. 'I feel it’s important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don’t like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that’s what happened to me. 'When I am complimented on things that I didn’t like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that’s when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you.' As well as gushing about her boyfriend, Mendes also coos about her two biggest Hollywood idols, Julianne Moore and Annette Bening. 'I have a girl crush on them. I’d kill to have half the careers they’ve had after 40,' she says. Eva and Ryan have been dating since September, when they were spotted enjoying a carefree date at Disneyland.

I don't find her remotely pretty, let alone
beautiful. She has a striking combination of features but it's striking
in an odd, not pleasant way. Hello red arrows :-)

I have just come back from the spupermarket and
have seen two young ladies, one a member of staff, so much prettier and
beautiful than any of the celeb photos that appear in this newspaper!
