EVA Mendes admits she made her mother “cringe” when she went nude for the “I’d Rather Go Naked Then Wear Fur” campaign she did for PETA in 2007.

The actress says her mom freaked out when she saw her famous daughter in all her glory.

“I was completely naked (but covered in the right areas) which made my mother cringe,” Eva told Fox News. “But I was like, ‘mom it’s for a good cause!’”

Mendes has pretty strong opinions about killing animals for their fur.

“It’s only an issue about looking pretty, how shallow and disgusting,” she said. “Most of our fur comes from China and they have absolutely no animal rights in China. None.

“They can get beaten to death, skinned alive, all kind of claw traps and they have anal electrocution and it’s not just China.

“We actually do it here in the United States too. It’s so barbaric that I feel it’s a responsibility of mine to spread the word to have people aware.”
