Eva Longoria's mother was more excited about meeting Jim Carrey than the Dalai Lama.
The 39-year-old actress took her mother Ella with her to meet the head of the Buddhist faith, but when they got home, instead Ella gushed about meeting the 'Ace Ventura' star.
Speaking on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show' yesterday (14.04.14), Eva said: "After the night, we were Skyping with my dad and I was like, 'Mom, mom come here, tell dad who you met today.' And she goes, 'Jim Carrey.' And I said, 'Mom, the Dalai Lama?' And she says, 'Yeah but Jim Carrey was there.'
Ella is a devout Catholic and when Eva tried to explain to her mother who the Dalai Lama was, she knew the only way to make her point was compare him to the Catholic equivalent.
The 'Crazy Kind of Love' star said: "If it's not Catholic, [my mom] doesn't really know. So I was like, 'Mom, he's like the Pope of Buddhism.' "
Eva met the Dalai Lama in February at a Q&A panel hosted by The Lourdes Foundation at The California Science Center and she described the experience as "pure joy".
Other celebrities in attendance at the event included Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Stone, Naomi Watts, Anna Kendrick, Lupita Nyong'o, Amber Heard, Nikki Reed, Joshua Jackson, Christina Hendricks and Rosario Dawson.

Stacey Solomon has split from her fiance.
The 24-year-old singer-and-presenter - who shot to fame after finishing third on 'The X Factor' in 2009 - and Aaron Barnham have called time on their four-year relationship, her spokesperson has confirmed.
The representative said: "It's with regret that I can confirm that Stacey's relationship with Aaron has unfortunately come to an end."
Stacey is now focusing her attention on her two sons, Zachary, six, from a previous relationship, and Leighton, 23 months, who she has with Aaron.
The spokesperson added: "Her priority is her two children. She thanks her fans for their support at this time."
The pair - who began dating in 2009 and got engaged in December 2011 - haven't spoken out about the split, but friends say Stacey is "upset" by the break-up.
One source told Closer magazine: "Stacey is being tight-lipped about why she split from Aaron but, like many couples, they had their problems and she's understandably upset."
After welcoming Leighton into the world in May 2012, Stacey gushed she had everything she had ever wanted.
She said: "I couldn't be happier. I've got a lovely family, a wonderful fiance, my own home and a brilliant job.
''As much as this is a big deal because it's Aaron's first baby, we're all part of the same family. Aaron looks at Zach the same way he looks at Leighton.''
