Eva Mendes has an interest in visiting cemeteries

Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has admitted she has an interest in cemeteries and visits them wherever she goes.

Eva, 35, said she tries to “hit up” as many cemeteries as she can when she travels the world.

She said: “I love cemeteries. They’re so beautiful and peaceful. The older the better.”

Eva recently visited Highgate Cemetery in London. After she was told it is where Karl Marx is buried, she said: “Yes, you know I’ve hit up so many, I forget. I make ‘em sound like bars! I do. I just hit them up everywhere I go, so I get a little confused. You know.”

Eva also revealed one of her strongest memories is of her mother and her constant worries about money when she was younger.

She said: “I have stories from when I was little and they’re all about wanting to save my mum in some way – like wanting Santa Claus to come and, instead of toys, he’d pay our bills.”

In a way, Eva admitted she feels like she saved her: “I really don’t have that pressure in me now. I bought her a house about five years ago, she lives 15 minutes away from me, and I said: ‘You’re done, lady. If I remember to get you a birthday card, you’re lucky.’”
