Actress Eva Mendes says she is not offended by a troll who called her old.
Weeks after her retort at a troll who mocked her age, the 45-year-old actress revealed the reason she didn’t feel offended by such rudeness, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“I wanted to make sure to get back to that person because I had something to say and I felt like. Look, you mean this, I don’t think it was malicious but you mean it kind of like an insult,” Mendes told people.com.

She added: “I want to show you that I take it as a compliment because I’m still here.”
The actress said: “And I have, you know, instead of saying I am 46, I wish we could change it and I wish I could say, ‘I have 46 years to me’ because in Spanish it’s very beautiful. It says you say, ‘Tengo cuarenta seis anos’ I have 46 years and in English I know, it’s a little, you know it’s semantics but it’s important. It’s like I don’t feel 46 but I do feel like I have 46 years of experience to me. I just find that so empowering.”
Although she believes the troll bears no malice, Mendes felt such ignorant comments carried dangerous meaning.
