As OK! previously reported, though Mendes hasn’t graced our screens in years, in a September 17 interview, she admitted she’d be open to acting again if "there's interesting roles."
"I left at a time where... it was ten years ago... I kind of felt like I did it, you know?" she explained.
"I was like, 'I just worked with Ryan Gosling, who is the best.' It was such a high of my career to work with him and what we created together that I was like, 'This is a good time to Seinfeld it and just walk out," she added.
Mendes previously shared that it was “a no-brainer" for her to prioritize parenthood after her offspring were born.
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling share daughters, Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8.
"I'm so lucky, and I was like, if I can have this time with my children... and I still worked, I just didn't act because acting takes you on locations, it takes you away," she said.
Mendes explained her thought process as she and Gosling decided he would continue to act while she would branch out into other ventures.
"It was almost just like a non-verbal agreement that it was like, 'Okay, he's going to work and I'm going to work, I'm just going to work here,’” she said.
Mendes then raved about her lover’s immense talent, "I've never experienced anything like that. 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. But unfortunately, or fortunately, there is only one Ryan!"
