Blonde star Ana de Armas recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she revealed her initial reaction after finding out that she got nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in the Marilyn Monroe biopic.

She added:

''My assistant comes with a phone, like, very straight-faced and just gives me something to read and it was this text chain. And I start reading, and then I realized what I'm reading and I scream.''

She continued:

''But of course, it was a stunt scene, so everyone got very worried thinking that something was happening. I was like, ''no, no, no, no, it's okay.'' So yeah, it was pretty cool.''

Ana de Armas was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama last month. Apart from that, she will also be a presenter at the Golden Globe Awards 2023 event that is set to take place on January 10, 2023, in Beverly Hills, California.

Ana de Armas further spoke about playing the lead role of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She talked about a ''very intense scene'' from the film and described the experience as ''terrifying.'' She later went on to describe the film as:

''I think this is a movie more about Norma Jean. The woman who's been unseen, you know, this whole time. And I feel like this photographic memory that we have of Marilyn's life, all these images that we've seen and we have an idea of what that story was. It's kind of like a take on that through her lens and what her life was like, so..''

Apart from Blonde, Ana de Armas also spoke at length about filming her upcoming movie Ballerina with Keanu Reeves. She described Reeves as ''awesome,'' and said that her body is in pain due to filming action sequences in the movie.
