Actress Jamie Lee Curtis is copping heat online for some eyebrow-raising comments she made about former co-star Ana De Armas in a recent interview.
Curtis starred alongside De Armas in the 2019 hit film Knives Out – and she offered some words about their first meeting in a new Elle profile of the Cuban-Spanish actress, who was 30 and had starred in a string of Hollywood films including Blade Runner 2049 and War Dogs by the time she landed a leading role in Knives Out.
"I assumed — and I say this with real embarrassment — because she had come from Cuba, that she had just arrived. I made an assumption that she was an inexperienced, unsophisticated young woman. That first day, I was like, 'Oh, what are your dreams?'" Curtis told the outlet.
In fact, Armas, who grew up in Cuba, moved to Madrid at 18 before relocating to Los Angeles in 2014, five years before Knives Out was made.
