Meet Eva Mendes’ brother Carlo Mendez, who plays Hector Estrada in Dexter: Original Sin – the hunky 46-year-old actor loves being an uncle and says his sister and Ryan Gosling are ‘amazing’ parents
Eva Mendes may already have hit the Hollywood big time and retired from acting to become a full time mum to her and Ryan Gosling’s kids, but her brother Carlo’s career is just now taking off
Eva Mendes may have retired from acting, but her brother Carlo Mendez’s career is thriving.
When asked about his sister and what she’s been up to, he said that she’s “taking care of her family and kids and stuff like that”.
Despite having a famous sister, Mendez hasn’t always had it easy. “Of course it’s been a struggle, up and down, like it is for everybody when it comes to acting. You got your moments where you’re booked up – and then you don’t know where your next job is coming from,” he recently told the Boston Herald. “It’s a very tough industry. There’s a lot of competition. You just have to keep working hard.”
“In having a famous sibling, most people don’t know unless they happen to find out we have the same last name,” he added. He said that he doesn’t ask his sister for favours either. “We talk, but I don’t talk to her when it comes to the business. I’m not trying to ask for any favours,” he told the Herald. “I’m just trying to do as much as I can on my own and prove myself as much as I can.”
Here’s what we know about Eva Mendes’ lesser-known sibling who’s promptly making a name for himself in the entertainment world.
