Ana de Armas presented the show this Saturday Saturday night Live from NBC and opened by saying in Spanish that he had an amazing year and that he was very happy to host the show; but then he sarcastically warned: “I speak English”.
Then, the 34-year-old actress and already with an impressive career, recalled that she was Cuban and referred to her learning the English language after arriving in the United States at the age of 26.
In order to achieve good diction and fluency, in addition to the classes, it was important to follow television series such as friends and watch Chandler Bing-type characters. At first she didn’t speak well, though: “Look at me now,” she said with a laugh.

De Armas reiterated in his monologue that it had been an incredible year, due to his Oscar nomination due to the interpretation of Marilyn Monroe in Blondea performance before which some, precisely, questioned his Latin accent.
In addition, she said that in three weeks she would be officially a US citizen, something she is proud of because when she decided to move to the US, she received the support of many people.
The charismatic and industrious actress made reference to the actor Robert de Niro, with whom she worked in the 2016 film, Hands of Stone.
One day, during the recording, De Niro told him that he would soon visit Cuba and for this reason he asked for his family’s contact information.
Shortly after, the matter having been forgotten, her father called her hysterically from the island to tell her that the actor had gone to see him at his own work.
