UP AND COMING
AAna de Armas
na de Armas, 32, is one of Hollywood’s freshest new faces, and her meteoric rise to international fame was just beginning when the lockdown put a damper on things. With rave reviews for her
role as Ryan Gosling’s holographic girlfriend in Bladerunner 2049 (2017) Golden Globe nomination in 2020 for her role in Knives Out (2019), this Latina beauty has a lot more in store for her dedicated fams.
De Armas knew she wanted to act from a young age, but growing up in her native Cuba, she wasn’t exposed to many Western films and would recreate scenes from the few shows she was permitted to watch in the mirror, imagining herself as the protagonist.
De Armas moved to Madrid at 18 to pursue her acting dream, landing roles in Spanish telenovelas and teen series.
But it wasn’t until she relocated to Los Angeles and learned to speak English — in just four months — that her career began to take off.
No Time to Die
Look for her as a Bond Girl in No Time to Die with Daniel Craig, Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming biopic of the late actress, Blonde, sharing the screen with former flame Ben Affleck in Deep Water, and
as the new global ambassador for Estée Lauder; de Armas has clearly arrived and is poised to take her rightfully earned place in the Hollywood firmament.
