Eva Mendes wanted to be a nun

Ghost Rider actress Eva Mendes says she wanted to be a nun since childhood, but gave up her dream after realising that nuns didn't get paid."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'."My older sister... said, 'How you gonna do all this? Don't you know nuns don't get paid?' And I was like, 'What?'" the actress has been quoted as saying by contactmusic.com.Mendes, otherwise, felt a convent career.
