Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling The Place Beyond the Pines Video
Eva Mendes Reflects on the Film That United Her and Ryan Gosling, and We're Happy Crying
Eva Mendes wins #FlashbackFriday. On June 28, the actress took a trip down memory lane by posting footage of her starring alongside her beau Ryan Gosling in 2012's The Place Beyond the Pines. In the film, Gosling plays motorcycle stuntman Luke Glanton who reunites with ex-lover Romina Gutierrez (Mendes) and finds out they share a son named Jason. The clip posted by Mendes shows the family spending time together before posing for a picture. "Flashing back to one of my favourite scenes from A Place Beyond the Pines," Mendes captioned the video, followed by a heart emoji.
Working on the project together eventually led to Mendes and Gosling's real-life romance, which was confirmed in 2011. They now share two daughters, 4-year-old Esmeralda and 3-year-old Amada. Falling in love and starting a family definitely wasn't on Mendes' radar when she and Gosling first got together. "It was the furthest thing from my mind. Ryan Gosling happened. I mean, falling in love with him," she said in the May issue of Women's Health magazine. "Then it made sense for me to have not kids, but his kids. It was very specific to him."
Thankfully, it all worked out because we can't get enough of their adorable relationship. Look ahead to see Mendes and Gosling's spark in The Place Beyond the Pines!
