Celia de Armas Caso (Spanish: [ˈana ˈselja ðe ˈarmas ˈkaso]; born 30 April
1988) is a Cuban and Spanish actress. She began her career in Cuba and had a

seasons from 2007 to 2010.
Ana De Armas Wiki/Bio/Age/Family
De Armas was born in Havana, Cuba, and raised in the small city of Santa Cruz del Norte. Her maternal grandparents were migrants to Cuba from Spain. Her father Ramón worked in various jobs, including bank manager, teacher, school principal and deputy mayor of a town. He previously studied philosophy at a Soviet university. Her mother Ana worked in the human resources section of the Ministry of Education. De Armas has one older brother, Javier, a New York-based photographer who, in 2020, was questioned by Cuban police due to his critical stance on Decree 349 and his links to artists under government surveillance. While de Armas grew up with food rationing, fuel shortages and electricity blackouts during Cuba's Special Period, she has described her early life as happy.
During her childhood and adolescence, de Armas had no internet access and had limited knowledge of popular culture beyond Cuba. She was allowed to watch "20 minutes of cartoons on Saturday and the Sunday movie matinee." Her family did not own a "video or DVD player" and she watched Hollywood movies in her neighbor's apartment.
She memorized and practiced monologues in front of a
mirror, and decided to become an actress when she was 12. In 2002, aged 14, she
successfully auditioned to join Havana's National Theatre of Cuba. She
sometimes hitchhiked to attend the "rigorous" course. While a student,
she filmed three movies. She left the
four-year drama course months before presenting her final thesis because Cuban
graduates are forbidden from leaving the country without completing three years
of mandatory service to the community. At age 18, with Spanish citizenship through her
maternal grandparents, she moved to Madrid to pursue an acting career.
