Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has said she loves it when she is deemed as an object of desire and termed sexy.

The 34-year-old actress also said she adores the tag, as long as it doesn't hurt her acting career, reports accesshollywood.com.

"I love it! But it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane," she told the Spanish edition of fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue.
