Actress Eva Mendes has revealed that she turns on her sexuality when she needs to secure film roles.

Mendes, 35, admits she’s not afraid to use her sex-symbol status to get what she wants.

“I don’t allow myself to be typecast, but when I have to turn up the heat and turn up the sexuality and I do an amazing Calvin Klein campaign it’s very conscious, that’s no accident. It’s very methodical on my part,” Fox News quoted her as saying.

“If I feel it’s appropriate to show some nudity in the scenes then I go for it. As much as I use my sexuality, I have never felt exploited. I feel like it’s on my terms and I have no problem with it,” she added.
