Movie stars have all the luck. If they get caught doing something illegal or embarrassing, they can just say they're researching a movie role. But when you get caught sticking your wang into the glory hole in the Rt. 9 rest stop bathroom (again), you can't very well claim that it was research for your next job as a bagger at Piggly Wiggly. But when Eva Mendes goes to rehab, she's not all jacked up on the hooch, she's doing it for her craft. Reports WENN:
Eva Mendes may have checked herself into rehab in January to prepare for a new movie, in which she plays a Spanish drug lord. The 30-year-old actress entered Utah's Cirque Lodge to "proactively" attend "to some personal issues", her representative explained at the time. The move shocked Hollywood, until Mendes landed a role alongside Josh Hartnett and Sir Ben Kingsley in Queen of the South, which follows her character Teresa Mendoza, who flees Mexico for Spain when her drug-runner boyfriend is murdered. Gossips are speculating she may have been researching the role in rehab – a theory backed by leading acting coach John Kirby. He tells Star magazine, "It's not unusual at all for an actor or actress to go to the extreme of checking into rehab to prepare for a character. In fact, I would encourage that for my students, because you want to fully immerse yourself in the role."
We've got to admit, at least Eva's on the right track here by actually following up the claim of research with a movie role. What killed Winona Ryder's credibility was never actually stealing shit on camera after her big designer heist. So kudos to Eva for having follow-through.
