She told the magazine she was ‘shaking so badly’ when she met Gosling during her third audition for Blade Runner 2049.
‘They put you in a room together and make you read things, to see how your chemistry is. I wish I had the tape of that meeting,’ she explained.

Ana’s fame increased with last year’s thriller Knives Out, where she so impressed Daniel that he got her a part in his upcoming James Bond film No Time To Die.
She was ‘shocked’ when director Cary Fukunaga offered her the part as she felt she ‘didn’t match’ the heightened ‘beauty standards’ expected of Bond girls.
The bombshell argued that Bond girls generally ‘need to be rescued. Or they die. Or are evil. I needed to read that script.’
She shared that ‘it took a little, but they sent me the scenes. It’s important, because I want to bring something else to the story,’ and ‘the character convinced me.’

No Time To Die was originally scheduled to come out this month but because of the coronavirus pandemic it has been bumped to the day before Thanksgiving.
Ana also spoke about having to simultaneously learn English and try to break into Hollywood when she first moved to America.
The leggy film star, who already had a career in Spain after attending Cuba’s only theater school, ‘had bilingual friends who helped me a lot.’
Ana dished: ‘My background and my experiences growing up in Cuba and moving and being like a citizen of the world and adapting and being flexible. It gives me a lot of tools and a different vision and approach towards a character.’

She eventually began scoring roles ‘written for Americans’ in such movies as War Dogs, Knock Knock and Blade Runner 2049.
‘When I auditioned, they changed their minds and made the script work for me,’ said Ana, drawing a distinction between these roles and her Knives Out performance.
In Knives Out she played a central character called Marta who was written as a Latina, ‘an amazing gift’ of a role.
‘When I was finally able to read the full script for Knives Out, I was blown away, and I fell in love with the character. Marta is something like I’ve never seen,’ she said.
