Ana de Armas reveals she almost turned down starring in KnivesOut — and her reasoning is very understandable. '[The audition tape instructions said] ‘Latina, caretaker’. I was like, I do not have the energy, what is this?'
While having received rave reviews for her performance, Ana de Armas has revealed she almost turned down starring in Knives Out. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, the murder mystery comedy centered on an eccentric private detective who is hired to investigate the death of wealthy crime novelist Harlan Thrombey, with his dysfunctional family all viewed as suspects.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY De Armas starred in Knives Out as Marta Cabrera, Harlan's nurse who proves to be the true protagonist of the film as it's revealed she was there when he died, initially believing she had mixed up his medications and given him a lethal dose of morphine that would have killed him, had he not slit his throat.
[The audition tape instructions said] ‘Latina, caretaker’. I was like, I do not have the energy, what is this? I said, you either tell me why this is worth it or I can’t. I passed on it twice because of that description. In the end, they sent me the whole script and I thought, oh s--t! Right away I did an audition.
Though having made a name for herself in Cuba and Spain, Knives Out is widely considered to be one of de Armas' biggest claims to fame in English-language movies alongside her role as Joi in Blade Runner 2049.
While de Armas may not have brought home the Golden Globe for her performance, her taking the Knives Out role ultimately proved in her favor.
