It is, of course, his best time. The Cuban Anna d’Armi it’s brand new in hours Netflixfor it will not be shown in the halls, blonde (blonde), where he interprets Marilyn Monroe and for which he received a 12-minute ovation during his visit to the Venice Film Festival, where the film was produced Brad Pitt competed for the Golden Lion.

No, it didn’t win anything, the jury made up of our compatriot Mariano Cohn left the film by New Zealander Andrew Dominik without a prize. But Ben Affleck’s ex was energetic during her time at the show: “Regardless of how the film will be received, Marilyn has changed my life.” Playing the sex icon of all time is a huge risk and challenge.

And it’s not for everyone. Less if the film shows her – Marilyn and then Anna d’Armi– perform oral sex on US President John F. Kennedy, until he ejaculates.

The NC-17 Motion Picture rating seems exaggerated, so no one under that age has been able to see the film with Adrien Brody (Oscar for The pianist) and Bobby Cannavale (Emmy for Empire of the waterfront, Blue jasmine). The time will come to make a critical comment on the film, which will arrive this Wednesday, September 28, as we said, exclusively from the streaming giant.

But let it be yours Anna d’Armiwith his 34 years and a face that is becoming more and more popular, the one that tells us all, or almost everything, of his personification of the actress of Gentlemen prefer blondes. One Eve and two Adams Y The itch of the seventh year.

Yes, that of the famous scene in which the flared dress is lifted by the “breeze” of the subway.

“The burden of interpreting it”

“It changed my life” – was released in the first meeting he had with the international press -. I felt the weight of the responsibility to interpret it, but also the respect. I felt that to do this woman justice, I felt I had to have her approval. I know these words may sound mystical, but that’s what we thought, she was there, very close to us. “

Mysticism or something unlikely, the actress said that while filming “I dreamed of her. And I imagined she was happy with how we were treating her.”

And that’s when he said that playing her in the new biopic about Monroe “changed my life … I felt full of sadness knowing everything that happened to her, even as a woman, and I didn’t fight those feelings, l ‘I did I don’t want to protect myself from it. ” , she said she.

“She was everything I thought, she was everything I dreamed of. It was all she could talk about. She was with me, and it was beautiful ”, continues De Armas. “It was a very strong feeling that there was something in the air. And she approved of what we were doing.”

Based on the novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, the film deals with the entire turbulent life of Marilyn, being the girl Norma Jean who does not know her father, lives with a schizophrenic mother who tries to drown her, and therefore, to start her way in Hollywood already like Marilyn Monroe she is mistreated by a film industry tycoon and has an abortion in order to work in a film.

There are her marriages to Joe DiMaggio (Bobby Cannevale) and Arthur Miller (Adrien Brody) and her relationship with then-president John Fitzgerald Kennedy, with an oral sex scene that will be the word of mouth commentary on the film.

“Person and character needed each other,” says De Armas, who has previously starred with Keanu Reeves (The daughter of God), Robert De Niro (Hands of stone), Gael Garcia Bernal (the wasp net), Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford (2049 runner blade) It’s inside Between knives and secretsalongside Daniel Craig, whom he accompanied in his latest film as James Bond, there is no time to diepremiered in 2021.

De Armas is all sympathy and simplicity. He responds simply and is kind, he is not on any pedestal -for now- and he keeps his freshness in every answer.

-What last twelve months do you have? Clarione to the actress born in Havana on April 30, 1988-. You were a Bond girl, you starred in Netflix’s most expensive movie – “The Gray Man” – and you’re Marilyn.

-What to say the gray man was surprising, the Russo brothers (the last two of Avengers) were building and creating this super smart and extremely skilled and knowledgeable secret agent character. And I was, you know, obviously very, very excited.

And if it sounded like something I hadn’t done before, well, I’ve been able to play a CIA agent before, but only for 15 minutes in the Bond movie, hahaha. I didn’t have all the fun I wanted there. So for me this was a great opportunity to grow more, in the action genre, and have more fun.

-You have proven that you can move in all kinds of registers, that you change your gender and look the same. What would you like to shoot in the future?

– Um, I don’t know. I don’t really have a place to go, like a purpose. I don’t have a goal, really. I just want to read something, a good script and do what really turns me on, and have that feeling inside me that “I have to do it”. I just want to work with good people and, you know what I mean, good at what they do and good human beings. Because you spend too much time and energy on filming to waste everything. And well, I haven’t done much so far. So anything that sounds good will be fine.

As for the times when blonde appears topless, naked or having oral sex in Kennedy, the actress who met Ben Affleck while filming the mess Deep waters, fell in love and left him when he didn’t want to move to New York, he was blunt: “I know it’s going to go viral and it’s disgusting. It bothers me just thinking about it. I can’t control it, you can’t really control what they do – take pictures and post them on social media. It’s disgusting to think about the future of those clips. “

For more data and coincidences, the film – nearly three hours: lasts 166 minutes including Netflix dubbing credits – was shot right in the apartment where Norma Jeane grew up and also in the house where Monroe died.

Do you want more mysticism? Well, but it was premeditated: filming began on August 4, the date of Marilyn’s death.

“I don’t believe in murder, that’s not my goal; Marilyn died from an accidental overdose of barbiturates, which is a form close to suicide,” understands the actress, who will be working with Chris Evans again (as in the gray man) and Adrien Brody (as in blonde) in ghost.

And that maybe, maybe, in one of those, it will be in the discussion next season of the awards for the dying blonde and for suffering like never before as Marilyn Monroe.
