Hollywood star Eva Mendes jumped at the chance to be a spokesperson for Calvin Klein, because she was convinced it would give her career a huge boost.The sexy actress is the face of the designer?s new underwear line. She shot print and television ads for the campaign with famed fashion photographer Steve Meisel earlier this year, but the promo, which shows the star writhing around topless, was deemed too sexy to be shown on U.S. television in August, and several networks refused to air the footage. But Mendes, who declared Americans too "prudish" for censoring the ad, doesn?t regret making the racy film because it fulfilled one of her teenage dreams, to follow in the footsteps of Mark Wahlberg, whose rap alter ego was Marky Mark, and supermodel Kate Moss, who both shot to stardom as Calvin Klein models. She says, "I grew up on those ads. When Kate Moss and Marky Mark - I mean my friend Mark Wahlberg? can?t say Marky cos he hates that - came out with them, I was like 15 years old. Me and my friends just went crazy. Crazy, crazy. He was so gorgeous? delicious? and still is, of course."
