At the time, the notable filmmaker had predicted success for the young actress. In Cuba, she acted in three movies, and now in Hollywood, she\u2019s working on her fourth. Ana is very well-known in Spain, where she has spent a large part of her career. Since her debut there more than a decade ago, she has had parts in a dozen films and several television series, enjoying great success. Ana is in demand by directors from all over, from Spain to Hollywood, Latin America to Europe. She now resides in Hollywood, the so-called movie mecca, to continue her career. She is the first Cuban actress to enter the elite of the coveted U.S. industry. Born in Santa Cruz del Norte in the late 1980s, she defends her Cuban-ness wherever she may be. She\u2019s been making headlines on this side of the world, too, and now it\u2019s <strong>OnCuba<\/strong>\u2019s turn for an exclusive interview with her.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52162\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52162\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/knock-knock-image-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52162 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/knock-knock-image-3.jpg\" alt=\"_knock-knock-image-3\" width=\"755\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/knock-knock-image-3.jpg 755w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/knock-knock-image-3-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from the film Knock Knock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>When you were still a student at Cuba\u2019s National Art School (ENA), you were selected by Manuel Guti\u00e9rrez Arag\u00f3n to star in Una rosa de Francia. How has that influenced your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am in debt to <em>Una rosa de Francia<\/em>, Manuel Guti\u00e9rrez Arag\u00f3n, Jorge Perugorr\u00eda, Tamara Morales (casting director), and everyone involved in that project, for being able to discover so freely and so passionately what it means to act in film. That movie taught me all the rules of a film shoot: discipline, study, late nights, respect for all team members, and above all, to realize how lucky we are to do what we love and make a living from it. When you experience that at the age of 16, it can scare you or it can fill you with courage and hunger for more. And I wanted to eat up the world. Moreover, it really opened the door for me to the Spanish market, which later took me in and gave me work for many years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You also worked with Fernando P\u00e9rez, one of Cuba\u2019s most celebrated filmmakers. How do you remember that experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fernando P\u00e9rez is one of the best people I\u2019ve ever known. He is a man with an enormous heart, and that is always reflected in his films. I still remember the day I auditioned as if it were today. Fernando whispered something to me, I think to explain the scene; I\u2019m honestly not sure, because what stayed with me was the tone of his voice, sweet and melancholic. His voice was my motivation. Stella Maris was my second experience in film, along with Luis Alberto Garc\u00eda, another of the people I love most, and who helped me the most when I was starting out. It was a brief experience, and I had a small part, but I gave it my best and I really enjoyed myself. That time, I didn\u2019t have permission to film from drama school, so I had to sneak out a bunch of times to film at night, and then the next day I would fall asleep in class. It was worth it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How and when did you go to Spain?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I went to Spain when I finished drama school. Well, technically I didn\u2019t finish school; I had to leave before I presented my final thesis. I was 18 years old and I felt like the time was right to move on. My parents supported me in everything, they always have. I don\u2019t remember having thought it over much, partly because I didn\u2019t know what it meant to live and survive in another country, and partly because I almost never question my instinct. I went with 200 euros in my pocket that I\u2019d saved from the last film that I made in Cuba, <em>El ed\u00e9n perdido<\/em>, and I told my parents that I\u2019d be back when my money ran out. Of course, that didn\u2019t happen; my money ran out in a week, and I didn\u2019t go back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you were chosen for El Internado, were you aware of the success that it would bring you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I met the casting director for <em>El Internado<\/em> two weeks after I got to Madrid. And I think that I can say that neither he nor I, nor anybody else, could have imagined what a hit that series would be. And of course, I had no idea whatsoever about what that would mean for me personally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In different magazines and websites you\u2019re described as a Spanish actress; however, you defend your identity despite your years of experience in Spain. What does being Cuban mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You simply can\u2019t deny what you are. Having been born in Cuba is part of my identity, not a label. I\u2019ve always been proud of having been born and raised there, because of the personal importance it has for me, the emotional connection, because I respect my roots and my parents. Because my good and bad experiences shaped me and made me into who I am today. I would be just as proud to have been born in another country if I had the same parents and friends that I have in Cuba, the ones I grew up with. That is what Cuba means to me; Cuba is my home because it\u2019s where my people are.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/keanu-reeves-y-ana-de-armas11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52220 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/keanu-reeves-y-ana-de-armas11.jpg\" alt=\"keanu-reeves-y-ana-de-armas1\" width=\"755\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/keanu-reeves-y-ana-de-armas11.jpg 755w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/keanu-reeves-y-ana-de-armas11-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you thought about returning to Cuba to film?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve thought about it many times; it\u2019s something I always keep in mind. In fact, I\u2019ve asked friends to pass the word along so that directors know that I\u2019m willing to come back to work. It\u2019s true that there have been times when I\u2019ve been filming for a long time, and when I\u2019ve tried to combine projects, the distance hasn\u2019t been helpful. After so many years, I understand that the connection has been lost, partly because of the way things work in Cuba, where the figure of agent or representative doesn\u2019t exist, and therefore, you don\u2019t have a point of contact. Also, I think that Cuban directors and producers assume that they will get \u201cno\u201d for an answer, and they don\u2019t even try to make the approach. It\u2019s a shame, because actually I\u2019m open to listening to ideas and proposals and contributing to our cinema. Without a doubt, I\u2019d like to be part of Cuban film history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why are you moving to Hollywood and taking on the challenge of starting over?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I moved to Los Angeles because my instinct told me it was time to move, to test myself, to dream bigger. I wasn\u2019t completely convinced that I was ready for the challenge, but I thought that if I kept mullling it over, it would never seem like the right time, so I went. For me, starting over is a good thing; it\u2019s another opportunity; it\u2019s learning; it\u2019s demonstrating to myself that I\u2019m strong and I can do anything. It\u2019s the ambition of wanting to be a better person and artist, and I\u2019m not afraid of that. Hollywood is hard; the industry is gigantic and there\u2019s an equal probability that they won\u2019t see you and that they\u2019ll step all over you. Los Angeles can be a very lonely city, but if you have clear ideas and work hard, big opportunities can open up for you. The language and being accepted culturally were not the things I was most worried about. For now, it seems like everything\u2019s going well, although you never know; nothing\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How complex has it been for you to modify your Cuban accent for Spanish films, and now to work in English?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I went to Spain and began working on <em>El Internado<\/em>, I had the great fortune that all of the series\u2019 producers were in agreement with my accent. Now with English, it\u2019s a different story; it\u2019s not just the accent\u2014it\u2019s the language. So in this case, I am working on it. I don\u2019t want to limit myself to Latina characters, I want to have a much broader range. It will take time, but I\u2019m not experiencing that as something negative; on the contrary, I view it as if I were learning how to use a new superpower. If I\u2019ve come to the place where there\u2019s access to the best projects in the world, it\u2019s not going to be my accent that stops me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s it been like to work with famous actors like Robert de Niro and Keanu Reeves?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to explain\u2026. It\u2019s literally insane. Of course, I\u2019ve dreamed of it a thousand times, but I never thought it would come true. They are actors that I\u2019ve admired since I was a child; I grew up watching their movies. Now, a little while later, I\u2019m on the same set, sharing scenes with them. It\u2019s difficult to process. I feel inspired, like I have something to contribute. I feel proud; I feel like my career is growing, little by little, but at the same time, it\u2019s dizzying. I don\u2019t know; I suppose it\u2019s a sign not to give up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How have you dealt with fame and success? How has it been for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fame and success are never a constant, just like the people who want to be around you or disappear according to their convenience. I\u2019ve always been very clear on that, and I\u2019ve always given it the right amount of importance. I think that the early years of my career were the ones with the most change, and the most critical in terms of the impact of fame on my personal life. But the fact that I always stayed connected with my parents and friends and the many visits I\u2019ve made to Cuba have kept me close to reality. My family is what makes me think every day about what\u2019s really important in my life. My life hasn\u2019t changed much, although at times it is hard to ignore it when people look at you or follow you in the street; I try to stick to my routine and to my world. Now in the United States, everything\u2019s calm again; here, I\u2019m invisible again. So I\u2019m really enjoying that, because I imagine it won\u2019t stay that way forever. When things change, we\u2019ll see what happens, but now I know what to expect, so there\u2019s no way it will be too much for me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ana_de_armas_durante_el_festival_de_malaga_41.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52221 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ana_de_armas_durante_el_festival_de_malaga_41.jpg\" alt=\"ANA DE ARMAS,GRAN EXPECTACION EN EL ESTRENO DE &quot; POR UN PU\u00bfADO DE BESOS &quot;\" width=\"755\" height=\"1132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ana_de_armas_durante_el_festival_de_malaga_41.jpg 755w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ana_de_armas_durante_el_festival_de_malaga_41-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/ana_de_armas_durante_el_festival_de_malaga_41-682x1024.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first met Ana de Armas during the filming of Una rosa de Francia (A Rose from France), in which she starred, directed by Manuel Guti\u00e9rrez Arag\u00f3n.
