London, Feb 20 : Eva Mendes might have won numerous admirers since her stint in Hollywood, but her first brush with romance left her heartbroken.

"The first time I fell in love I was at Disneyland," the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

"I was about nine years old, waiting in line for Mr Toad's Wild Ride and I saw him as our line rounded the corner.

"He looked at me and then past me and he broke my heart. It was over as soon as it began.

"I was exhilarated and devastated at the same time. That was my introduction to love," she added. (ANI)
