While it failed to make much of a dent in its box office debut three weeks ago, Eva Mendes is praising her husband’s new film The Fall Guy.
The 50-year-old actress shared a poster for The Fall Guy, which shows her 43-year-old husband kissing his co-star Emily Blunt.
‘Did you know?! @thefallguymovie is the FIRST non super hero movie to open the summer box office in 17 years!’ she said of The Fall Guy debuting in the first weekend of May, which typically marks the start of the summer movie season.
‘And maybe it didn’t break the box office but it broke sooo many other records,’ she added, referring to the film’s soft $28.5 million debut at the box office.
‘I’m extra proud of this one. The proof is in my post-I don’t usually post pics of my man kissing a babe but Emily Blunt is just that damn good in it,’ she said.

‘I think La La Land was the first. It was sort of like, oh, this will be fun for them too, because even though they’re not coming to set, we’re practicing piano every day or we’re dancing or we’re singing,’ Gosling said.
