Actress Eva Mendes made sure she was scrubbed free of perfume during scenes with Joaquin Phoenix in new film We Own The Night – because the actor hates flowery scents.
The pair play lovers in the new film and Mendes paid attention when her co-star announced he hated fragrance on a woman.
She tells Wenn, “Joaquin doesn’t like perfume that much. He told me that in a conversation just hanging out one day.
“So I said, ‘Note to self, don’t wear perfume.’ Some people’s noses are so sensitive”.
The actress also admits that she is angry at herself for not prolonging a screen kiss with Johnny Depp in 2003′s Once Upon A Time In Mexico – because she has regretted it ever since.
The Latina beauty, 33, admits she has enjoyed numerous big-screen dalliances with a number of cute celebrities – but hates herself for not taking advantage of her intimate scene with her childhood idol.
She says, “All of my screen kisses were the best, though I regret not kissing Johnny for longer… It was the first time I had worked with an actor who I had a crush on as a little girl”.
