The Other Guys star has obtained a temporary restraining order against the New York man who, according to her filing, falsely believes that he has a relationship with the actress and thinks she is 'willing to die for him.'After stalking her since 2008, the obsessed fan turned up at Mendes' home on May 31, prompting the 37-year-old actress to take legal action, and up her canine security.
'He just thinks, "Kill coyote before coyote kills mama!"' the actress told U.S. website Contact Music last year about the fur-raising incident, that resulted in shattered glass but an unscathed dog. Watchful eye: Hugo, a Belgian Malinois, is described by his movie star owner as, 'a really sweet attack dog.' Renown for their agility and protective temperament, the breed is often used by the U.S. Navy SEALs and Belgian Malinois named Cairo was even part of the operation that killed Osama bin Laden on May 2.
When not out with Hugo, Mendes is kept safe by the other man in her life, long-time boyfriend George Augusto.The couple have been together since 2002 but Mendes says wedding bells are not in their near future.'Marriage is very old-fashioned...old-fashioned bad,' she said in a recent interview with the Mirror newspaper.
