Eva Longoria Took Spanish Lessons For Mexican Movie Dias De Gracia

Eva Longoria is currently in Mexico City shooting the film Dias De Gracia which focuses on a kidnapping that takes place during the World Cup. And is completely in Spanish. Eva, who was born and raised in Texas, began taking Spanish lessons in Mexico in March because, as she told the Mexican press, she grew up speaking English. Her character, Xochitl, is not the protagonist, but according to the film’s director, Xochitl’s role is key to the movie. (Translation: It allows them to use Eva’s name on the marquee.) With her last film–Over Her Dead Body–being such a flop, Eva’s lucky she has her Mexican heritage to fall back on because, while the producer of Dias De Gracia says Eva was drawn to the project because of its characters, we’d guess she was drawn to the fact that someone–anyone–wanted her to be in their movie. Dias De Gracia is scheduled to be released June of 2010 during the next World Cup.
