Eva Mendes has some fun with her dad on vacation!
The actress, 49, shared an adorable video on Saturday in which she can be seen questioning her Cuban father, Juan Carlos Mendez, in some modern language. In the clip, Juan Carlos sits in an armchair in front of a Christmas tree while his famous daughter kneels in front of him, firing off questions in Spanish (for which she provided an English translation in the text captions over the video).
“What do you think it means if I say ‘she was my ghost?’ ” asks dad to start things off.
Juan Carlos doesn’t need a moment’s thought before confidently answering, “To bother you.”
Eva jokingly makes a sound that shows that she is wrong. He then asks him what “thirst trap” means?
“Well, the man driving the truck,” he replies, using his hands to imitate someone holding the wheel. His daughter bursts out laughing at his completely off-the-wall answer, before hitting him with her next question: “What if someone says this is a creep? What is a creep?”
Funny response from Juan Carlos? “Sounds like shrimp to me.”
Eva Mendes celebrated her mother’s birthday with cute photos: “Mami lioness and her cub”
Eva ends the fun Q&A by asking her dad, “What if I said Christmas was epic?”
“That this was a wonderful Christmas,” he replies, causing Eva to cheer and clap at her dad’s correct answer before giving him a high five.
“Mi Papi Cubano 🇨🇺. This never gets old… ‘Shrimp’ has to be my favorite! ♥️🎄♥️,” she captioned the video.

Eva and her father seem to enjoy a playful relationship. On his 80th birthday last December, she light-heartedly teased him about his parentage on Instagram.
“Happy birthday dad 💕,” she wrote in Spanish at the time, alongside a throwback black-and-white photo of the couple. “Thank you for your support, thank you for your love and also for my moon. And thank you for not screwing me too much 😂♥️.”
Earlier this month, Eva shared another photo memory – which captured her as a young girl standing in front of a Christmas tree holding a baby doll – as she reflected on her childhood holiday celebrations with her family.

“Little me in the 80s at Christmas. We were paycheck to paycheck – at best – but my Mami always did her best on Christmas morning,” she wrote in the caption, referring to her mother Eva Pere Suarez.
“My older siblings were also part of the magic. Since they were well past Santa’s age at the time, when I look back now, I realize how much they all contributed to making it magical for me. I’m so grateful,” she continued.
Eva also took a moment to pay tribute to her late older brother, Carlos Mendez, who died of cancer in 2016 at the age of 53.
“I miss my brother,” she wrote. “The last Christmas I had with him was a few years ago when he did something only a big brother can do. I’ll leave that sweet story for another post. Anyway, I saw this picture this morning and wanted to share it.”
