In a recent interview with Forbes, Eva Mendes opened up about her family life and her children's reaction to her acting career.

Mendes and Gosling are known for being very private about their personal lives, but Mendes did share that her daughters are not impressed by her acting career.

"My little ones are like, 'Mom, you work? What do you do for work?'" Mendes said.

"I'm like, 'I'm an actress.' And they're like, 'Oh, OK.' They have no idea what I do," she added.

Mendes said that she doesn't mind that her daughters don't understand her work, and she's just happy to be a role model for them.

"I think it's important for them to see that I'm passionate about something and that I work hard," she said.

"I want them to know that they can do anything they set their minds to," she added.
