It&#8217;s an indisputable fact, and probably the only avenue in which I&#8217;ve been able to reconcile her ending up in a <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/eva-mendes-ryan-gosling-marriage-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long-term relationship<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/eva-mendes-shares-a-favourite-throwback-of-her-and-ryan-gosling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ryan Gosling<\/a>, rather than me.<\/p>\n<p>But the actor recently revealed that even at the height of her career, she didn&#8217;t always feel beautiful. Mendes, who now shares two daughters with Gosling, posted a throwback snap on Instagram of herself while starring in <em>Once Upon a Time in Mexico\u00a0<\/em>back in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just came across this picture from a movie that was almost 20 years ago. I remember seeing this photo back then and thinking my face looked &#8216;weird&#8217; and that my bone structure was odd,&#8221; she captioned the post. &#8220;You know all those insecurities that a 26 year old can have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/COiZzP1jjGU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
