Living on the wild side! Eva Longoria phoned into On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday, August 20, and dished to Ryan Seacrest what it was like to film Dora and the Lost City of Gold in the jungle of Australia after having just given birth to her first child, son Santiago Enrique Bastón, with hubby José Bastón.
âItâs a good origin story of why Dora is the way she is and I play her mother,â Eva shared of the movie adaptation of the hit kids TV show. âAnd itâs so much fun and we shot in Australia, in the rain forest in Australia where everything can kill you, [and] oh my God!,â she added. âIt was crazy â Santi was like 2 months old [then] so I was still breastfeeding and not sleeping and he was on set with meâ except when we went like deep in the jungle where he really could not be there because just the mosquitos alone â [but], we shot there for about six weeks ⊠and it was crazy. ⊠Like, nine of the deadliest snakes are in Australia and 10 of the top deadliest spiders are in Australia. It was like, âOh my God! We might die. We might die,ââ she joked. âBut it was so much fun. It was great to get away and really just disconnect too when Santi was so little.â
Her son is now 14-months-old and keeping her even more on her toes.
âItâs getting harder because heâs walking now and heâs such a good traveler ⊠but now he wants to get out of his seat and crawl around and eat everything on the floor on the plane,â Eva concluded. âAnd Iâm like, âGet off the floor!â So now itâs harder because he just doesnât wanna be in the sit.â
