Ryan Gosling‘s wife Eva Mendes took to Instagram to shower praise on him after the ‘Barbie‘ actor pulled off an impeccable Cuban accent in the ‘Can’t Tonight‘ Saturday Night Live sketch. Gosling was also joined by Marcello Hernández as the duo portrayed two men coaxing their friend, played by Kenan Thompson, to join them for a night out.
Mendes was particularly proud of her husband because of her Cuban heritage. As he aced the act as well as the accent, she couldn’t contain her delight. “Coño! My Cuban Papi made this Cuban Mami so happy with this!! Years of hanging out with my Dad paid off,” the actress wrote in the caption of an Instagram post with the video of Gosling’s gig on the show.

“I’m Dominican, and he’s Cuban [Hernández], and he [Gosling] is from Tennessee, but ever since he married a Cuban woman, he is different,” he says in the skit.
