    Eva Longoria always thought she'd become a success in Hollywood

    The 50-year-old actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in shows such as 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Only Murders in the Building', and Eva has now revealed that she never doubted her own talent


    The actress told Byrdie: "When I look at the longevity I've had in this industry, it makes sense to me.

    "Of course, I'm going to work as hard as I can at whatever I do, and it just happens to be in this industry. I knew I'd be successful because I was surrounded by successful women - my mother, sisters, and aunts were independent, strong, smart, and charitable. They were everything I wanted to be."

    Eva's self-belief has helped her to navigate the pitfalls of Hollywood.

    She explained: "I remember the first time I was on a billboard and somebody said to me, 'Oh my god, who would have thought?' And I said, 'Me. I thought it. I dreamt it'. If you don't champion yourself, who else is going to? That unwavering belief in yourself will take you so far."

    Despite this, Eva admits that her priorities have changed in recent years.

    The brunette beauty - who has Santiago, six, with her husband Jose Baston - shared: "When you're young, you should say 'yes' to every opportunity, so you can decide what you want to do in life.

    "Now that I'm 50, I'm prioritising differently. I'm curating my life to be very specific to what I want the next 50 years to look like. I'm spending more time with my family, working less, and doing more of what I love.

    "Being financially secure helps with those decisions, but I feel I've worked hard enough to say 'no' now."

    Eva has also confessed to becoming more health-conscious in recent years.

    The actress - who previously played Gabrielle Solis on 'Desperate Housewives' - said: "I don't mind ageing. I just want to age well.

    "I'm grateful to be able to move my body and work out, hike up a mountain, and play with my son. I'm trying to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible."
