Eva Mendes has once again demonstrated that being Cuban is in her blood, in the way she dresses, in her tastes, and also in her language.

The actress and model shared a cute reel on her Instagram profile that made many of her followers laugh.

"But who says I don't speak Spanish?" she is heard asking while typing on a cell phone. She answers her own question by saying: "Heck. I speak Cuban. It's different".

However, even funnier was the text with which he accompanied the video in poorly written English, but perfectly understandable: "Qué Coño! What the hell! I no espeaky espanish - I espeaky cubano".

Shortly after she published the video, it was filled with comments from her followers. One of those who commented was actress Yuliet Cruz. "In good Cuban," she said along with smiling emojis.

Other followers of Eva Mendes on that social network also left their opinions on the matter: "You know! As my grandmother used to say: 'Don't look for me, you'll find me'"; "Likewise, we are just different"; "I speak Cuban too. You're great"; "Yes asere, very different"; "But you speak perfect Spanish," wrote some.

This is not the first time the artist alludes to her Cuban roots. Last September she shared one of her tips for washing her hair outdoors in the purest Cuban style.

On other occasions, the actress has published photos of herself wearing outfits that recreate the typical costumes of the rumberas.

Not to mention that she is a fan of the cortadito coffee that her Cuban mother Eva Pérez Suárez prepares in her coffee pot, which she cannot find in other places.
