- Fictional character that I really relate to.
Well, I'm gonna go with Marta actually,
from Knives Out, because I am a terrible liar.
Horrible, and if that throwing up thing was a real thing,
I would just be throwing up all day long.
Hello, I'm Ana de Armas and today,
I'm gonna let Elle ask me anything.
But before we get started,
please make sure to check out The Gray Man.
(funky upbeat music)
I feel most powerful when I am on set working.
Best industry advice I've ever received,
I think is, there is no shortcuts for hard work.
You just have to do it.
Best part of playing Dani Miranda.
I mean, I think, I just had a lot of fun with this role.
I loved more than anything, my process of learning all
the stunt fights and the gun training was a lot of fun.
I just really had a really extensive training
that I enjoyed very, very much.
If my character came with a warning label,
would say, "always loaded". (laughs)
Working with Chris and Ryan, it's, it's always a joy.
They're just such a good partners.
They're great actors and they have great sense of humor.
They make me laugh a lot.
I think my favorite scene in The Gray Man,
I mean, everything is really good,
but I think I would choose the opening scene.
I think it's one of the best opening scenes
in an action film.
This set was so spectacular and the moment the balloons,
hundreds and hundreds of balloons,
fall from the ceiling and as the fights are happening,
I think it's just stunning, so good.
I cry and I am very emotional with everything.
I probably cry every day watching something,
but I think, you know the scene in Inside Out
when Bing Bong and Joy are trying to get
on the rocket and just go up and he just let himself
off the rocket and he just stays there and disappears.
That's it. It kills me every time.
The last show I've, you know, watched like nonstop,
I think I would say Stranger Things, of course.
I feel the most creative when I finish watching
some incredible artist or performance,
whether it is a concert or a play or an incredible movie.
And I just get out of the theater, like really pumped up.
I'm very excited and inspired.
My dream role would be,
I mean, I feel like I just played a dream role for me,
which was Marilyn Monroe.
But if I had to play another one,
I'd play Ken's hairstylist in Barbie. (laughs)
I think I'd choose the suit I wore
for the Knives Out premier in London, loved it.
I mean, I think it's my friends. I'm nobody without them.
Who's my biggest cheerleader? (laughs)
I mean, I think also my friends, I'm gonna go with them
because, yeah, my friends are my team.
I feel like they're very, very supportive.
I wish I could sing.
That's just not, it's just not for me.
Fictional character that I really relate to.
Well, I'm gonna go with Marta actually,
from Knives Out because I am a terrible liar.
Horrible, and if that throwing up thing was a real thing,
I would just be throwing up all day long.
My favorite comfort meal, I would just go for Cuban food,
probably rice and beans, or even, you know,
fried egg on top of it or just something simple.
Who do I look up to?
I'm gonna go with my friends again.
My girlfriends, all these incredible, strong mothers.
Hardworking, talented girlfriends I have.
They do so much. I really admire them.
Something that people don't know about me.
I mean so much, I guess.
I don't know, I guess I make the best chicken soup
in the world, like, you have no idea.
I'm most proud of not compromising on my work ethic.
I think. (laughs)
My ideal day would be nothing on my schedule. (laughs)
I would wake up very slowly, have my cafe in the morning
and then go to a museum and then stop by a bar,
eat some tapas, croquetas and jamon, go take a nap,
wake up again and go out for dinners and beers
and you know, that would be (smacks lips).
And then have some great gin and tonic at the end.
