Jamie Lee Curtis Feels 'Real Embarrassment' Over What She Assumed About Ana de Armas When They Met

Jamie Lee Curtis is recalling her first impression of Ana de Armas.

The two both starred in the 2019 ensemble film Knives Out, which was de Armas' big breakout project, leading to parts in No Time to Die, The Gray Man and as Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming Blonde. In a new ELLE cover story about de Armas, Curtis said she thought her Cuban-born costar, now 34, was an "unsophisticated young woman" at first.

"I assumed — and I say this with real embarrassment — because she had come from Cuba, that she had just arrived. I made an assumption that she was an inexperienced, unsophisticated young woman," Curtis told ELLE. "That first day, I was like, 'Oh, what are your dreams?' "

Curtis quickly became impressed by de Armas on set, however.

She said of de Armas' personality, "She is not as fancy as maybe the advertisements would have you believe. She leans in, interested; talking to her is kind of give-and-take. She's curious and asks a lot of questions."

De Armas talks about Cuba and diversity in Hollywood during the ELLE interview. She moved to Los Angeles at 26 after having done a few Cuban films and taking television parts in Spain before that.

She said, "I feel sometimes that I'm not part of the Cuban artist community, and then I was in Spain and I feel like I'm not part of the community there — especially because in Spain, I did more TV than movies. And then I'm here, and I feel like I'm not there yet either. You know? Am I part of the community? I barely know anybody."

Back in February 2021, Curtis wrote a glowing tribute to de Armas for Time when the actress was among the magazine's Time100 Next list that year.

"I immediately wanted to try to do anything I could to help this young actor from Cuba on her journey, though I quickly realized she didn't need it. Her gifts were evident," Curtis continued, adding, "We will all get to remember the moment we first set eyes on her, and watch in wonder and delight as she ascends to the greatest heights our industry offers, buoyed by the depth of her soul and talent."

Agreed. It was a hit, and she was funny in it and got great notices. She has far more embarrassing things on her filmography than Freaky Friday, Exhibit A being Perfect.

But anyone who's worked consistently for as long as she has, has a few titles that probably sounded great when they were being pitched and then came out badly. Especially with commercial studio pictures like Perfect, there are so many cooks in the kitchen.

For fucks sake she’s going overboard with her wokeness. She wants the world to know she’s a self hating white woman. She didn’t even need to make this known (I don’t buy it anyhow). It’s like “SHES CUBAN AND I NEED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW MY PRIVILEGED WHITE WOMAN UPBRINGING MADE ME ASSUME SHES NOT SMART HOW DARE I BE SO IGNORANT” No one cares about either of them. Ana De Armas isn’t that great of an actress and Jamie Lee Curtis morphed into the Womens Studies Professor at the local Female only Liberal College.

by Anonymousreply 74July 23, 2022 1:02 PM

What’s sad is that she doesn’t understand how bright Cubans usually are.

What I’ve observed, it works like this:

Cubans get into the US, within 5 years they’ve learned to speak English fluently, have a job and are enrolled in school. Within 7 years they’ve graduated. Within 10 years they own their own business. By 12 years they own their first home, have their kids in private school, and are saving up for their next purchase of income property.

Cubans are hustlers. They’re not stupid or ignorant peasants. Same with Asians.

It’s really disappointing that she has the wrong idea about some minorities.

I don’t think she’s necessarily a xenophobe, but I think she’s not as in touch with regular people as, well, other regular people are.

Jamie is an interesting personality, but she seems like somebody who's had a lot of time to think about herself and her relationship to the world. She always seems to have some kind of new grievance every few years. Remember back 10 years ago when she talked about how, though her mother was a present parent, she didn't feel there was real intimacy in their relationship. Jamie, your mother was born in 1927, what did you expect?

I was mortified. Right after that movie I went and had an eye job. That’s when I found Vicodin, and the cycle of addiction began with that." - JLC

Willis ("The Godfather," "All the President's Men") was known as "The Prince of Darkness," so I'm surprised he didn't just make the aerobics studio like a dungeon and hide Jamie and her puffy eyes in the shadows...
