One of the greatest living legends in Hollywood remembers the deep shame he felt when he met Ana de Armas on a shoot.
Jamie Lee Curtis He thought that Anne of Arms I was a new girl in the world of Hollywood when they met on the set of daggers in the back. The young 34-year-old actress was born in Cuba and started in Spanish cinema and television, being truly known in our country with the TV show The intership. The two performers met in Daggers in the Back, a film directed by Ryan Johnson. They shared a dressing room with other stars of the stature of Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Tony Collette Y Christopher Plummer. What a piece of casting that movie!
Apparently, Ana de Armas’ career path was unknown to Jamie Lee Curtis. The woman has embarrassedly recalled her first meeting with the Cuban actress. As reported by the magazine sheCurtis walked onto the set of daggers in the back the first day and questioned the girl. A series of questions that someone would ask someone who has little experience in the industry. Curtis has sheepishly and sheepishly admitted that he believed the young woman had just arrived in Hollywood. The reason? That she was Cuban. On the set of daggers in the backCurtis even offered to introduce her to Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal. The surprise for Jamie Lee Curtis was that Ana de Armas and Jake Gyllenhaal already knew each other.
The balance is leaning towards action movies
“I assumed, and I say this completely embarrassed by the memory, that she had just arrived in the world of Hollywood. She believed it because she was an actress from Cuba. She believed that she was a young woman without experience and without sophistication. That day I questioned her and asked her about what her dreams were in the industry”.
Yes ok daggers in the back was a punch on the table to gain relevance, Jamie Lee Curtis was clearly wrong in thinking that Ana de Armas was a young woman without experience or sophistication. Fortunately, Curtis regrets this first meeting and has admitted his mistake. Of course, this assumption did not prevent the Cuban actress from continuing to climb the Hollywood ladder of fame.
Although Ana de Armas disapproves of the “action star” label, the actress has certainly proven quite capable of shining in this type of blockbuster. Since daggers in the back with Jamie Lee Curtis, the Cuban actress has participated in no time to die (2021) and The Gray Man (The invisible agent) (2022). And also in mystery thrillers What the truth hides (2020) and Deep water (2022).
