Hollywood actress Eva Mendes faced disapproval from her mother after posing for a provocative photoshoot for a fashion magazine.
The Hitch star stripped off for a series of raunchy pictures for Italian Vogue earlier this year (08).
But the shots - which showed Mendes topless and in a variety of sexy poses - were not popular with the star's mother, who voiced her concerns to her daughter.
Mendes says, "I was lucky enough to do the cover of Italian Vogue, that's a big deal for me. And they were very edgy photos. My mother did not like them and then she made me realise something.
"My mother, who is very Cuban and very old-school, said, 'They are beautiful but you don't have to do that.'
"And I said, 'Mummy, I know I don't have to do that. I want to because it's the people I associate myself with (such as photographer) Steven Meisel and Italian Vogue.' If it was any other publication I would never do (these pictures). So she really made me think, there's people out there thinking you have to do things and I never feel I have to do things."
Mendes previously stripped off for a Calvin Klein fragrance advert, which was deemed too raunchy for American TV.
