Got my grey hair from my mother: Eva Longoria

Los Angeles, Feb 25 (IANS) Actress Eva Longoria says she has inherited her mother Ella's grey hair, but manages to cover it up with a bottle of hair dye when the lighter strands start to poke through.

"I've always known that I'd love my 40s. I always say I want my 40-year-old mind with my 20-year-old body. That would be perfect!" Longoria was quoted as saying by usmagazine.com.

"Genetics has a lot to do with it. My dad barely has any wrinkles. But I got my grey hair from my mum. So I'm grateful to L'Oreal to cover it!" she added.

Although she's proud of her appearance, the actress believes a lot of her youthful looks stem from her healthy diet and vigorous exercise regime.

"I really prepare my food for the day so I'm not starving. Every time I'm running and I'm seeing the calories I'm burning I go, 'That's only one glass of wine! I haven't even gotten to the food!'" she said.
