EVA Mendes “loves” being considered a sex object.

The actress caused controversy earlier this year when her saucy ad campaign for Calvin Klein’s Secret Obsession was banned in the US.

But Mendes insists she’s proud of her body — and enjoys being called sexy.

She says, “I love it, but it’s not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn’t limit my career. It’s a part of my life, but on a secondary plane.”

Eva says the secret to her sexy shape is diet and exercise: “I try not to go crazy, but yes, I pay attention to what I eat,” she explains. “I try to stay away from pasta, bread, cakes, sweets, cookies and ice cream.”
