'Blonde' star Ana de Armas on why there will never be another star like Marilyn Monroe
foxnews.comAna de Armas doesn’t think there will ever be another movie star like Marilyn Monroe, or maybe any movie stars at all. The 34-year-old, who played Monroe in Netflix’s "Blonde" and earned an Oscar nomination for best actress, explained the changing public perception in Vanity Fair’s 29th Annual Hollywood Issue. "I feel like the new generations don't have that concept because of social media.There is so much information out there and oversharing.The concept of a movie star is someone untouchable you only see onscreen," she said. "That mystery is gone.
For the most part, we've done that to ourselves. Nobody's keeping anything from anyone anymore." De Armas also revealed she’s deleted all her social media except for Instagram, which she maintains primarily for professional purposes. "I would delete Instagram right now, but I can’t," the "Knives Out" star confessed to the outlet. "I understand that I’m not just an actress.
I have other brands that I’m working with, and I have other commitments. It’s been good for ‘Blonde’ and for films that I want to talk about. "It’s tricky because you feel the pressure to share some personal insight or something about your private life to keep people interested in you.
You have to find a balance somehow, which I find very difficult." De Armas drew a flurry of public attention not only for her recent acting roles but for her relationship with Ben Affleck in 2020.
