The Cuban Ana de Armas interprets Marilyn Monroe in Netflix film "Blonde"

August 31, 2019

The Cuban actress is already immersed in the filming of the movie "Blonde" for Netflix.

Ana de Armas will definitely become Marilyn Monroe.

The young Cuban actress is currently working intensively on the filming of the Blonde movie, a film by Andrew Dominik for Netflix, in which she plays the character of Marilyn Monroe.

Since March, there has been talk about the possibility that the Blade Runner 2049 actress would embody the blonde temptress, in a production based on Joyce Carol Oastes' book 'Blonde'.

At this moment and after several weeks of filming have passed, the first images of the actress transformed into Norma Jeane have just been leaked to put an end to the doubts.

In the photos you can see the 31-year-old actress, entering the dressing room and shooting a scene in a vehicle, with a completely different look from what she regularly wears, and it is that her hair is now blonde and slightly wavy.

Initially, it was not the actress from 'El Internado' who would play the main character in this film, which traces the lights and shadows of Marilyn Monroe's life. Long before they decided on her, several names were competing for the role such as Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts.

Ana's official signing did not occur until June and it was precisely she who announced it.

"It's a movie about the human condition. It tells a story about how childhood trauma defines an adult who is divided into two realities, one public and one private. It's basically the story of every human being, but it's using a certain sense of association that we have with something very familiar, only through media exposure," the director explained to the Collider portal.
