After a diverse career starring in everything from rom coms like\u00a0<em>Hitch<\/em> to serious dramas like\u00a0<em>The Place Beyond The Pines<\/em>, she just\u2026 stopped.<\/p>\n<p>But she wants everyone to know she \u201cnever quit\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>Taking to\u00a0<strong>Instagram<\/strong> on Friday morning, the\u00a0<em>2 Fast 2 Furious<\/em> alum clarified all the talk about her exit from the big screen. The way she explains it the reasons she hasn\u2019t been in anything in a long time are twofold.<\/p>\n<p>First, there was that whole distraction in which she found a life partner in <strong>Ryan Gosling<\/strong>, and they had two daughters together. Unfortunately the movie business just didn\u2019t offer her the flexibility she wanted for being a mom! She wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI wanted to be home with my babies and fortunately my other business ventures allowed me to do that more than acting would.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sad, but true. Being an actor means being willing to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a> all over to wherever <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> are being filmed \u2014 Vancouver, Bulgaria, Mississippi \u2014 you go where the work is.

While she didn\u2019t \u201cquit\u201d per se, she also never found a reason to come back either. The roles she was seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently weren\u2019t exactly enticing. She continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAlso, I was not excited about the stereotypical roles being offered to me at the time. Especially after working on the film LOST RIVER -that was a dream project. That\u2019s a tough act to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Lost River<\/em> is a mostly forgotten little arthouse film (with a stellar cast). But it clearly meant a lot to Eva \u2014 not the least of which because it was made by her baby daddy and remains Ryan\u2019s sole directorial effort.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lost River Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Ryan Gosling Directed Movie HD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/STxOMNNPpe8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Eva finished by explaining why it was important to her to make the distinction between <em>not acting<\/em> and <em>quitting acting<\/em>. She explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhats the point of this post? To shift that narrative. I never quit. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"customEmoji lazyload\" style=\"margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; vertical-align: middle; -webkit-box-shadow: none; -moz-box-shadow: none; box-shadow: none;\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/perezhilton.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-emoji-one\/icons\/2764.png\" height=\"16\">\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So\u2026 don\u2019t call it a comeback when she eventually finds a role she wants to take, we guess? The girls are getting older, so we\u2019re guessing once that requirement is off the table she\u2019ll jump at the first really juicy role. She did previously hint at a return to the big screen, though she has two pretty major rules she doesn\u2019t want to violate. Maybe this post was a way of fishing for that kind of role to be sent her way?
