Eva Mendes shared a poignant post on Instagram just hours after her husband Ryan Gosling spoke out about the Oscar's Barbie snubs.
The Hollywood star shared a clip on her social media of American singer Lola Falana discussing how the mind has the power to "negotiate", but the soul doesn't. Eva said she "loves" the message from the singer asking her fans: "Who gets this as deeply as I do? Dios mío [my god], does my mind like to negotiate. It's exhausting!"
Lola says in the post: "You cannot lie because the only thing that can touch a mass of people is the soul, cause the soul can't lie. Now when you start to deal with the mind, the mind will negotiate. It's like yeah, that's why they say your first instinct is correct.

Ryan spoke out to support Margot"Your first time something your soul says don't do that, then after a while the mind gets lazy or gets busy or whatever and it starts to negotiate and it says now look you don't have to pay that no mind. Why don't you try so and so next thing you know you're in trouble, so my first instinct is what I feel and that's about it. It's always moment to moment, that's why I like it so much, it's just right there, you can taste and touch it."
Margot Robbie insisted on being totally nude in film for authentic scenes
Eva's post followed a touching statement Ryan released to show his support for his Barbie co-star Margot Robbie and the film's director Greta Gerwig after he received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Ken, but Margot failed to be recognised for her role as Barbie and Greta was snubbed from the Director category. However, America Ferrera was recognised for her role with a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
He released a statement which read: “I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought I’d being saying this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken.
“But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.
“Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees. Having said that, I am so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film.”
