Eva Mendes

She's got beauty, brains and high-octane sex appeal. Now everyone's eyes are on Eva Mendes, the 25-year-old Cuban model turned A-list actress in the upcoming turbo charged, "2 Fast 2 Furious."

The guys seem really fun to work with, but Eva jokes, "They are but they are really unattractive. Paul Walker, Tyrese just really ugly."

Kidding aside, Eva says co-stars Paul Walker and Tyrese weren't all macho and muscle. She says, "They're just really nice guys. The testosterone wasn’t what people think, it was playful."

But when it comes to guys, for the past five years Eva's got to work with the best. She told "Extra" that she got a great workout with Denzel. He was her first on-screen kiss in "Training Day." She says, "He's a really awesome man. He really taught me a lot verbally and non-verbally as far as just his presence and the way he takes his craft so seriously."

And today Eva's craft includes being the face for Revlon cosmetics. She says, "I’m still kind of in shock. I look at a magazine and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, that's me. And I get paid for that. That’s amazing."

And how's this for amazing: Mendes is the cover girl of this month's GQ. She says, "I’m a little nervous about it, I have to say. They’re racy pictures."

Eva will be racing to the box office again with two more movies with co-stars like Matt Damon, Johnny Depp and Willem Dafoe.
