You know what they say when you assume…
“I assumed – and I say this with real embarrassment – because she had come from Cuba, that she had just arrived,” Curtis, 63, revealed“I made an assumption that she was an inexperienced, unsophisticated young woman. That first day, I was like, ‘Oh, what are your dreams?’” She also planned to introduce her to her godchildren Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, but was surprised to find out the “Deep Water” actress, 34, already knew Jake.Curtis added of “The Gray Man” star, “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.”
In 2014, when she was 26, she made the jump to Los Angeles, where she had to start from scratch because directors didn’t care about her previous experience. She proceeded to learn English in just three months.By the time Curtis met de Armas, she had already starred in movies like “Knock Knock” alongside Keanu Reeves, “Blade Runner 2049” with Ryan Gosling and “War Dogs” with Jonah Hill and Miles Teller.
