Ana Celia de Armas Caso born on 30 April 1988, is a Cuban and Spanish actress who began her career in Cuba with a leading role in the romantic drama Una Rosa de Francia (2006). At the age of 18, she moved to Madrid, Spain, and starred in the popular drama El Internado for six seasons from 2007 to 2010.
After moving to Los Angeles, de Armas had English-speaking roles in the psychological thriller Knock Knock (2015) and the comedy-crime film War Dogs (2016) and had a supporting role in the sports biopic Hands of Stone (2016) even though she could only speak Spanish fluently at that time.
She became famous for her role as the holographic AI projection Joi in the science fiction film Blade Runner 2049 (2017). For her performance as nurse Marta Cabrera in the mystery film Knives Out (2019), she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. She subsequently portrayed Bond girl Paloma in the James Bond film No Time to Die (2021) and Marilyn Monroe in the biopic Blonde (2022). For the latter, she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, making her the first Cuban actress to do so.
At the aged of 14, Ana de Armas successfully auditioned to join Havana’s National Theatre of Cuba. While a student, she filmed three movies. She left the four-year drama course months before presenting her final thesis because Cuban graduates are forbidden from leaving the country without completing three years of mandatory service to the community. At age 18, with Spanish citizenship through her maternal grandparents, she moved to Madrid to pursue an acting career.
After spending a few months living in New York City to learn English, Ana de Armas was persuaded to return to Spain to star in seventeen episodes of the historical drama Hispania (2010–2011). She then starred in Antonio Trashorras’s horror films El callejón (2011) and Anabel (2015), and in the drama Por un puñado de besos (2014).
With encouragement from her newly hired Hollywood agent, she decided to move to Los Angeles. When Ana de Armas first arrived in Los Angeles in 2014, she had to start her career again “from scratch.” She starred opposite Keanu Reeves in her first Hollywood release Eli Roth’s erotic thriller Knock Knock (2015) and learned her lines phonetically.
Ana de Armas had a supporting role in Todd Phillips’s War Dogs (2016), acting opposite Miles Teller as the wife of an arms dealer, and again learned her lines phonetically. David Ehrlich of IndieWire found her to be “memorable in a thankless role”. She starred opposite Édgar Ramírez in the biopic Hands of Stone (2016) as the wife of Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán. Despite its delayed release, Hands of Stone was the first Hollywood film de Armas had filmed.
In 2018, Ana de Armas starred opposite Demián Bichir in John Hillcoat’s medical drama Corazón. She played a Dominican woman with heart failure in the short film. Her role as an immigrant nurse in the ensemble murder mystery film Knives Out (2019), written and directed by Rian Johnson, was widely praised and marked a breakthrough for her. She was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress Motion Picture Comedy or Musical with her also winning the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress and the National Board of Review Award for Best Cast with the Cast.
In 2021, Ana de Armas reunited with Daniel Craig to play a Bond girl in Cary Joji Fukunaga’s No Time to Die. Fukunaga wrote the character of a Cuban CIA agent with Ana de Armas in mind and she described the character as bubbly and “very irresponsible”.
