07 February 2012

Eva Mendes has praised Ryan Gosling - who she is believed to be dating - as a "dream" to work with.

Eva Mendes thinks Ryan Gosling is "a dream".

The 37-year-old actress - who is believed to have been dating the actor since September - admits working with the 31-year-old star on 'The Place Beyond the Pines' was one of the best creative experiences she has ever had.

She said: "He's your dream co-star. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film. He's amazing."

However, Eva refused to talk further about their relationship as it makes her feel "uncomfortable".

Responding to a question in the new issue of America's Marie Claire magazine, she said: "Stop, just stop. I'm not gonna budge. I feel uncomfortable talking about it. It's too personal."

While she didn't want to further praise Ryan, she did speak of her admiration for Julianne Moore and Annette Bening, admitting to a "girl crush" on the actresses.

She said: "I have a girl crush on them. I'd kill to have half the careers they've had after 40."

The stunning actress believes it is important people know she isn't always confident about her looks.

She explained: "I feel it's important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don't like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that's what happened to me."
