EVA MENDES is pleased her provocative Calvin Klein perfume ad caused such a stir - insisting the attention it garnered makes her more proud of showing off her body.

The advert, which sees the actress writhing around topless, was deemed too sexy to be shown on U.S. TV earlier this month (Aug08) - with several networks refusing to air the footage.

The saucy footage was also deemed too risque for the web as well, and was removed from clip-sharing website YouTube soon after it was uploaded.

But the sexy actress refuses to be ashamed of the ad, and felt she could push the boundaries as she was promoting such an iconic brand.

She says, "It makes me more proud. I'm sure if it was for some kind of independent brand that wasn't as iconic as Calvin Klein, I don't think I would have done it because that's too much of a risk."

"But when it's Calvin Klein and it's (fashion photographer) Steve Meisel shooting you and you get to be a part of this amazing iconic brand and their legacy, you just kind of go for it."
