AceShowbiz - Eva Longoria is the cover model for the August issue of InStyle magazine. In an interview with the magazine, the "Desperate Housewives" alum opens up that she wants to be "the female George Clooney."
"I want to be the female George Clooney," Longoria tells the magazine. The 40-year-old actress looks up to Clooney not because of his love life, but rather because of his career. "He directs, produces and stars. I want to be in charge of the final product," she adds. Regarding her career as director, she says, "Everyone goes, 'Oh, she's an actor-turned-director,' and I'm like, 'No, I was always a director and a producer who happened to become an actor.' "
The brunette beauty recently spoke about Donald Trump's racist remarks about Mexicans. She tells the magazine that she wants to be the advocate for issues involving Latinos. "We're the fastest-growing demographic in the United States, but I don't want us to just be a large group. We have to be influential. We have to stand for something," she says.
The "In a World..." actress also reveals her relationship with businessman Jose Antonio Baston. "I'm in a happy place right now, so it's easy to be open and in love," says Longoria.
Regarding her beautiful eyelashes, she admits, "I've been using individual false eyelashes since my pageant days." She gives a tip to avoid lashes malfunction. "Squeeze the glue out and let it dry for a minute before applying lashes. If you put them in the glue right away, they slide like crazy," says the actress.
