If you don’t know her name yet, you will soon. De Armas is slated to appear in this summer’s Hands of Stone and War Dogs, and she’s currently filming the Blade Runner sequel.
The 28-year-old actress didn’t speak English when she first came to the states.
In her first meetings with agents, de Armas “was just nodding like, ‘I don’t know what you’re saying.'” She said. “Now I speak English.”
While it’s early in her film career, de Armas has already worked with Robert de Niro, Jonah Hill, and Ryan Gosling.
But de Armas won’t be just another beautiful sidekick.
“They’re both the rock of their partner,” she says of her two big roles this year. “Not just the wives; they are understanding, and they forgive.”
Both War Dogs and Hands of Stone premiere in August. Read more about de Armas here.
