Image insecurities – we all have them.

Even world-famous, jaw-droppingly stunning Hollywood actresses who most people would be honored to look like…

Eva Mendes is one of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood – and that’s not even an opinion, it’s a fact! We dare anyone to disagree…

However, the 47-year-old Training Day star revealed that she didn’t always like the way she looked – especially when she was younger – and told her Instagram followers that she used to think some parts of her appearance were “weird” and “odd”.

We know, we can’t get our heads around that, either…

Eva Mendes – who has enjoyed a very private relationship with Ryan Gosling since 2011, and shares two daughters with him – opened up about the insecurities she faced at the start of her career in a very candid post on Instagram, referencing how she felt her face looked “weird” and her bone structure was “odd”…

“Just came across this picture from a movie that was almost 20 years ago,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo from the 2003 movie Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

“I remember seeing this photo back then and thinking my face looked “weird” and that my bone structure was odd …yadda yadda …you know all those insecurities that a 26-year-old can have,” the mom-of-two continued, before adding that she regrets previously thinking that about herself, and hinting that she would give anything to look like that right now…

“Meanwhile 20 years later and now I wish I still had that “weird” face and odd “bone structure”,” she added.

She concluded that the reason she opened up about her past insecurities was to try and help women appreciate their looks, and love themselves regardless.

And also, to hang onto old pictures, as we may appreciate them several decades down the line…

“Why’s my point ? Im not sure. Maybe it’s if you hate a photo of yourself wait 20 years then you’ll love it,” she concluded.

We’ll refrain from deleting those pictures that haven’t been taken from our good side then…
