Ana de Armas is going full-on action in the upcoming Ballerina and gives an insight into how she prepared for the stunts.
In an interview with Zoom, the actress said the 87eleven action team — which has previously worked in the John Wick franchise — helped her train and also designed the scenes to fit with her capabilities.
“We had plenty of time to let me go through the process of first getting stronger, getting an idea of what combat and fighting was,” she said.
“Just as I was getting better and better, [they’d] just start building the scenes around my strengths and best things I could do.”
The Eden star also raved about the stunt coordinators for boosting her capabilities.
“I didn’t know I was capable of doing it,” the star said. “Now I definitely love it and I enjoy it very much.”
Following the shooting, Ana acknowledged that she had never thought of becoming an action hero.
“I never thought I was going to do action,” the No Time To Die star said. “I didn’t think I was athletic enough or strong enough.”
Ballerina arrives in cinemas on June 6.
