The 34 year-old American actress Eva Mendes may be truly, deeply and madly in love with film producer George Gargurevich, but she also confessed harboring a massive crush on fellow actress Keira Knightley. Mendes has done a number of superhit Hollywood flicks like 2 Fast 2 Furious, Hitch, Training Day, Ghost Rider and We Own the Night.

'I'm obsessed with Keira Knightley. I think that she's just got it down. She takes chances, she's edgy, but she's always a lady,' Eva Mendes was quoted by the media as saying recently. Mendes then also added, 'She is so unconventionally beautiful, with the most striking face I've seen in a long time. I'm kind of crushing on her.' Keira Knightley, however, is not the only one to whom Mendes is attracted.

There is a long list that includes the name of actress Cate Blanchett. About Blanchett, Eva Mendes says, 'I am also in awe of Cate Blanchett because she just radiates effortless power. She is always rocking out in an amazing dress unlike anyone else's.' Though Keira Knightley started out her film career during childhood, she shot to international fame after co-starring in Gurinder Chadha's Hinglish film Bend It Like Beckham in 2003.
