Ana De Armas Is An Actress From Spain
Ana De Armas is a Spanish actress who lacked internet access and was unfamiliar with popular culture outside of Cuba as a teenager.
She was permitted to watch “20 minutes of Saturday cartoons and the Sunday movie matinée.” Her family did not own a “video or DVD player,” so she viewed Hollywood movies in the apartment of a neighbor.
At the age of 12, she studied and practiced monologues in front of the mirror, and chose to become an actor.
At the age of 14, she auditioned for the National Theatre of Cuba in Havana. She occasionally hitchhiked to the “rigorous” training.
She filmed three films while still a student. She dropped out of the four-year theatre program months before presenting her final thesis because Cuban graduates are not allowed to leave the nation without completing three years of community service.
With Spanish citizenship through her maternal grandparents, de Armas traveled to Madrid at the age of 18 to pursue an acting career.
She played Carolina in the teen drama El Internado for six seasons, from 2007 to 2010. The television show, which was set at a boarding school, proved popular among viewers and elevated de Armas to celebrity status in Spain.
During a sabbatical from acting, she appeared in the popular coming-of-age comedy Mentiras y Gordas (2009). Despite the success of El Internado, de Armas felt typecast and was only cast in parts involving teens.
De Armas’ performance as an immigrant nurse in Rian Johnson’s ensemble murder mystery thriller Knives Out (2019) was well-lauded and represented a breakthrough for the actress.
De Armas received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. As well as the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress and the National Board of Review Award for Best Cast.
De Armas appeared in four films in the United States in 2020. In the Netflix biopic Blonde, which will be released in September 2022, De Armas will play Marilyn Monroe. The film is based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name.
Similarly, De Armas will co-star opposite Ryan Gosling and Knives Out co-star Chris Evans in the Russo brothers’ Netflix spy thriller The Gray Man. As well as the Apple TV+ film Ghosted, in which Evans replaced Scarlett Johansson
