Ana de Armas says her ‘life has been to be in the right place at the right time’

Ana de Armas credited her success as a rising protagonist for being in the “right place at the right time” in a recently released interview with The Sunday Times Style.

While the 32-year-old Golden Globe nominee reflected on how to become a household name after starring in Knives Out and Blade Runner 2049 of 2019 nearly four years ago, she said that relating to the ‘right people’ has kind of been ‘ your life.

She also appeared to be nodding her head at the fatal encounter with her ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck on the set of her next psychological thriller, Deep Water.

During the interview, made before the end of her nearly one-year romance with the 48-year-old Oscar winner this month, the actress made some rare comments about Affleck.

While discussing her choice to wear several T-shirts with Spanish phrases, she noted that she also owns some of the popular Cuban brand, Clandestina.

“Ben was obsessed with them,” she said of her former co-star’s affinity for the slogan T-shirts. ‘Every time we go, he buys the entire store.’

When the publication tried to return with the Cuban beauty about its change in relationship status, its representative simply said to the magazine: ‘We have no information to share.’

During the conversation, she also revealed that it took a lot of work to perfect Marilyn Monroe’s whispering voice for her role in the upcoming Blonde film.

“It took me just nine months of dialect training, practice and a few ADR sessions,” she said. “It was a great torture, so exhausting. My brain was fried. ‘

She also pointed out that women in Hollywood still face many of the same challenges as their ‘1930s, 1940s, 1950s’ predecessors.

“If you don’t have a strong base, with your family and so on, it is very difficult to survive – very difficult,” she emphasized.

In addition, she talked about leaving Cuba as a teenager with about $ 355 in her pocket.

‘In Cuba, you live in a bubble. I didn’t know what the world was like. I had never traveled before in my life, ‘she reflected.

She added: ‘I think – and I mean it in the best possible way – being ignorant about some things can help you, because you are not afraid at all. I just went and did it. ‘

‘If I had to do that now, knowing what it is like and what I had to go through, I would be scared. But I’m glad I did that. I didn’t think about it twice ‘, observed the star.

Despite the end of Ana and Ben’s romantic relationship – with the actress being the person who is calling it closed – the ex-flames ‘still speak regularly’, informed the People source.

‘Ben and Ana’s friendship is not over,’ revealed the source.

Since the separation, the father of three has spent a lot of time with his children and “continues to work with himself,” said the source.

Ana did not want to live full time in Los Angeles – which is Ben’s base because of her children and ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
