On Friday, May 3, the actress, 50, appeared as the lead voiceover for the series' latest episode, Mum School, which was released on the popular animated series' YouTube channel.

“Bluey, Mum School — read by me, Eva Mendes,” Mendes begins her voiceover.
“Bluey and mom are in the lounge room playing with lots of balloons. Suddenly Bingo runs through in her towel chased by dad,” the actress then reads. “‘Hey Bingo, good work for having a bath,’ says mom. ‘Yeah, but she hasn't cleaned her teeth,’ complains dad. ‘Come here.' "
The Bluey Book Reads digital series made its debut in February, with each episode featuring stories from the popular Bluey children's books.
Mendes joins a host of stars who have voiced episodes since the book series began, including Bindi Irwin and Kylie Minogue.
This isn’t the first time Mendes has entered the world of Bluey, however. She previously appeared as a yoga instructor in a 2021 episode of the animated series.
