Eva Mendes has defended her controversial advertisement for Calvin Klein perfume, an ad that was banned from American TV screens for being too raunchy.
Mendes - who flashes her nipple in the ad - has spoken out about the ban, accusing American censors of promoting violence while continuing to ban nudity.
“I’m completely American, I was born and raised in America and I love it but I think we are too quick to censor nudity,” Mendes told News.com.au during her current visit to Australia.
“Meanwhile, it’s okay to blow things up and our films are so violent and our television is so violent.
“I would rather see tasteful nudity than violence any day of the week.”
The Calvin Klein commercial features Mendes rolling around naked on a bed, flashing her cleavage and pouting to the camera.
“Between love and madness lies obsession,” Mendes, 34, says in the ad, which is being screened on cable networks.
“Love … madness. It’s my secret.”
thanks much, brother
