‘It was terrible’: Ana de Armas on forced move due to breakup with Ben Affleck

______________________________

34-year-old Cuban Ana de Armas gave a frank interview to Elle magazine and at the same time posed for him in a relaxed country look from Louis Vuitton. The actress told the interviewer about her family and new roles, and most importantly, about the high-profile breakup with 49-year-old Ben Affleck, who is about to marry his beloved Jennifer Lopez.

The actress did not meet with Ben for long – they became close during the lockdown, but parted as friends in 2021 even before the end of the first wave of the pandemic. However, all the impressions of a pleasant year-long romance were spoiled by the paparazzi – when the actors decided to disperse, de Armas was literally pursued in order to get a scandalous photo for the tabloids. The actress had to find a place where the press would not bother her.

It was terrible,” she recalls. “That is why I had to move from Los Angeles. And so I realized that this city is not for me. Here you are constantly nervous.

Now Ana de Armas lives in New York with her new boyfriend. By the way, she met her beloved Paul Boukadakis on a dating platform. They spent their first dates in quarantine for conversations and wine.

Recall that she met Affleck on the set of the film “Deep Waters” in 2020. It is believed that Ana herself initiated the gap. The couple did not see eye to eye: she wanted to travel, and he had to take care of the children from his marriage to Jennifer Garner most of the time in Los Angeles.

This year, Ana de Armas appeared in two high-profile Hollywood novelties at once – the next Bond film No Time to Die and The Gray Man with Ryan Gosling. The streaming giant Netflix will soon release a new biopic, Blonde, about the life and career of Marilyn Monroe, where de Armas will play the title role.
