When Eva Mendes was smitten by Ryan Gosling after their 1st meeting

Actress Eva Mendes spoke about meeting her partner and actor Ryan Gosling when they made their 2012 movie The Place Beyond the Pines. “I’ve never experienced anything like that,” she said of working with her now-partner on the Today show. “The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything as best as it can be, and that means making his costars as best as they can be. Unfortunately, or fortunately there’s only one Ryan, so I pretty much stopped acting after that,” she added. Mendes and Gosling started dating after meeting on set. The two, who are private about their relationship, share two daughters together. (IANS)
