Eva Mendes has posed nude for PETA. The actress covers her breasts with her arms but shows her naked butt in the new photos which bear the slogan 'Fur? I'd rather go naked.'
Eva said she was spurred to take action against fur-wearers after receiving a letter from PETA when she first started out in the film industry. She said, "I wasn't familiar with PETA early in my career. I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so naive that I didn't have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a fur wrap for the evening and I ignorantly wore it. PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to them and myself to never wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again. There are way too many amazing faux fur options out there for people to still be wearing real fur. I want people to know that there are options; that killing a poor animal and wearing it isn't cool. But respecting all life forms is cool. Very cool."
Eva is following in the footsteps of
Pamela Anderson, Alicia Silverstone, Kim Basinger and Christina Applegate by flashing her flesh for PETA.
