Overview
- De Armas confirmed at the Red Sea International Film Festival that she will film Reenactment in Los Angeles in January with director Grant Singer, co-starring Benicio del Toro and Cameron Diaz, calling the project “top secret.”
- The conversation in Jeddah traced her path from Cuba to Spain and then Los Angeles, where she arrived with little English and described the transition as humbling.
- She highlighted a decade-long friendship with Keanu Reeves that began on Knock Knock, saying their reunion on Ballerina felt like a full-circle moment.
- De Armas said her turn toward action was unplanned, citing No Time to Die, The Gray Man, Ghosted and Ballerina, and described Ballerina’s physical training as brutal and exhausting.
- Reflecting on Blonde, she said the Oscar nomination did not decisively open doors and that she still feels she must prove herself despite the recognition.
