Eva Mendes: I collapsed after meeting Mick Jagger

Actress says he's the only man who's left her starstruck

Eva Mendes stars in The Women with Meg Ryan, Debra Messing, Annette Bening and Jada Pinkett Smith

Eva Mendes has revealed she was left speechless when she met Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

The starstruck actress bumped into the 65-year-old in a hotel lift in France 4 years ago.

‘I literally collapsed when he got out a floor later,’ the 34-year says. ‘He's delicious, he still looks really good.’

And Eva says she was unable to play it cool when she was reunited with rocker Mick, who's a producer on her new film The Women.

'I thought: "He's never going to remember me," so I just say: "Hi, I'm Eva, nice to meet you," and he says: "Oh, I think we met in Paris."

‘I screamed: “Oh my God, you remember me?”,’ she tells You magazine. ‘The whole façade falls and I was a complete geek.’
