Is it true that Ana de Armas hates Spain and denies her debut at El Internado?
It Seems Hollywood Has Discovered a Whole Star in Ana de Armas, But We’ve Done It Before. This Spanish-Cuban actress triumphed almost two decades ago with El Internado, and now she is doing it in the United States with films like the deep waters, the invisible agent there Blondthe latter deserving all the possible rewards for the magnificent interpretation made by the young woman. When did Ana de Armas become famous in the United States? Why do we say that he denies Spain when only 9 years ago he starred in his last film in our country?
Ana de Armas’ leap to Hollywood
Surprisingly, her jump to Hollywood was in 2014 after she divorced the Catalan actor Marc Cloletwhom he married two years earlier. That same year, he decides that the best thing is to leave Spain, sell all that he has obtained thanks to his work and move to the United States to take the leap he needs.. And be careful, because it didn’t take him long to learn English and accept jobs, being his first project Knock Knocka movie of Eli Roth in which she was accompanied by Keanu Reeves.
It’s hard to say that a divorce was what allowed Add Weapons jump in Hollywood, but it was: gave up his most personal ties and started a life from scratch in America with a 50% chance of success, and a 50% chance of returning to Spain without finding victory.
Don’t think he had it easy afterwards: Knock Knock let many know him, but it was a B movie. In 2016, he was part of the cast of the daughter of godalways with Keanu Reevesbut they were hands of stone and Gun Game the projects that allowed him to shine. The first, when screen sharing with Edgar Ramirez there robert deniroand the second to appear next to bradley cooper oh Miles Teller. And in 2017 it would happen Blade Runner 2049 and her final leap to Hollywood: everyone wanted to have her in their movies, that’s why she was in daggers in the back (2019), the network of wasps (2019) or no time to die (2021). Of course, 2022 was his coronation as a star with a hat-trick: Deep water, Blonde there the unseen agent.
Does Ana de Armas really deny Spain?
The problem starts from a monologue which Ana de Armas pronounced in Saturday Night LiveAmerica’s hit late-night show: “Thank you, thank you very much. I’ve had an amazing year and I’m so happy to be here hosting tonight’s show. (…). It’s a joke, I speak English“The interpreter started by saying in a humorous tone. But of course… He said he was born in Cuba (which is true) and came to the United States at the age of 26 without understanding a word of English. Where is Spain in this monologue? Not mentioned.
Seven years he was in Spain with El Internado and films like Lies and Fats oh For a handful of kisses which you simply forgot to mention. And this is where the debate arises…Does Ana de Armas really deny Spain? Or is he simply using his return story (having arrived from Cuba to the promised land with the hope of a better professional future) to win over the public even more?
