Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling's daughters appear to have favorites when it comes to their parents.
The 50-year-old shares Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, eight, with her long-time partner and admitted on Wednesday that they favor their dad's movies over their mom's.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Eva – who has stepped away from acting – revealed that they are "not impressed" with her previous body of work.
Not that they have seen many of her films, as she admitted "they don't care" about watching them.
"It's like, I tried to show them – this was about a year ago – I tried to show them a scene from Hitch that I was actually proud of, because I'm scared of deep, dark water," she said, referring to the film's famous jet ski scene with onscreen love interest Will Smith.
"I had to do this physical comedy stunt thing in the Hudson. Anyway, I was so scared. So, I faced a fear that day and did this stunt, and I was proud of it."

"I played it for them, and I was like, 'This is Mama facing her fear.' And, anyway, they were not impressed at all! They were just like, 'Oh, cool, Mama! Can we go outside?"

"That was beautiful, because the girls were such a huge part of that," Eva told Jimmy.

Eva and Ryan are very protective of their children, but they made their first public appearance as a family when they attended the Paris Olympics last month.

As she commented on how the paparazzi affected her, a fan responded: "Unfortunately the Olympics is pretty high profile and they are on the look out for celebrities. Hope you get to a place soon that you can go and just be a regular old family hanging out together."

Eva took a step back from acting in 2014 to take care of her daughters and described it as "the easiest decision I've ever made".

"Your career comes and goes but kids, yeah, that was easy for me," she added. "They're just formative years. I wanted to be there for all of it."
