Eva Longoria: I've always wanted to do a travel show
Eva Longoria has relished the experience of making a travel show.
Eva Longoria has "always wanted to do a travel show".
The 51-year-old actress has enjoyed success with her Searching For travel and food series in recent years, and Eva has revealed that she relished recording the latest iteration in France, a country that she has strong ties to.
The Hollywood star - who spent long spells in France when she was married to ex-basketball player Tony Parker - told People: "I always wanted to do a travel show because I really love experiencing new cultures. And then when CNN came to me with the Searching for ... series, I immediately said yes."
Eva - who previously recorded series in Mexico and Spain - loved the experience of returning to France to film season three of Searching For.
She said: "It's been definitely a romantic connection with this beautiful country."
Eva also revealed that she's learned some fashion tips from her time in France.
The actress shared: "I pack outfits, not clothes, and I try to have just two pairs of shoes that go with everything, one jacket that goes with everything.
"And this is something I learned in France, really. Not only is the cooking defined by its simplicity, but French fashion — people don't have a lot of clothes, they have great clothes. And so they aren't afraid to repeat outfits, but they just restyle them. You're the only one who sees yourself every day. You can repeat the jeans. You can repeat the shirt!"
Eva previously described herself as a "Francophile".
The actress also admitted that she relished the challenge of making a TV show in countries liket France, Mexico and Spain.
She told Extra: "It’s so fun because I just get to eat and drink my way through countries. I did it through Mexico. I did it through Spain and now I got to do it through France because I’m a Francophile through and through and I speak French, so I convinced CNN to please let me do France, and they said yes."
