Eva Mendes gave up her childhood dreams of becoming a nun when she discovered they didn't get paid.

The sexy Hitch star admits she was a "prude" as a child and felt a convent career would be perfect for her - until her sister revealed the poor truths about nuns.

The Ghost Rider actress says, "We grew up, not in a poor, poor family, but lower-middle class; a lot of bills and my mother was always stressing about money and stuff. And I would promise her, 'Mum, I'm gonna buy you a house and pay all your bills one day.'
