Melbourne, Aug 28 (ANI): Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has revealed that she wants Russell Crowe as her next leading man.

"I really want to work with him," The Daily Telegraph quoted Mendes, as telling fashion editor Jen Melocco.

The 34-year-old actress, who has shared on screen kisses with hotties like Denzel Washington, Will Smith and Johnny Depp, admits that kissing her co-stars is one of the perks of the job.

"Kissing - it's legal cheating," she said.

Meanwhile, the stunner recently said that she wanted to become a nun when she was younger - until she realized they don't get paid. (ANI)
