By the age of 27, Ana de Armas had been acting for almost half her life. The Havana-born Cuban actress began studying acting at the National Theater School at the age of 14. She landed her first film role two years later, starring in Una rosa de Francia (2006) directed by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón. She then starred in two films in 2007: Madrigal directed by Fernando Pérez and El edén perdido directed by Manuel Estudillo.

Her major break came when she moved to Spain and landed a recurring role as Carolina on the popular Spanish TV series El Internado. She later continued her career momentum in the film Mentiras y gordas (2009), the TV series Hispania, la leyenda (2010 to 2012) and the movie Blind Alley (2011). In 2015, Ana appeared in her first major American film, starring opposite Keanu Reeves in the erotic horror film Knock Knock.

By 2016, the young actress was just starting to break through into mainstream Hollywood — she starred with Keanu Reeves in the action thriller Exposed (2016), in the biographical action film Hands of Stone (2016) alongside Robert De Niro and the crime dramedy Arms and the Dudes (2016), starring with Miles Teller and Jonah Hill. She also appeared in the sci-fi sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017) starring alongside Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford.

She went on to appear in Knives Out (2019), The Informer (2019) and
Yesterday (2019), and also played Paloma in Daniel Craig's final James Bond film, No Time to Die (2021).

In Blonde (2022), Ana played a version of Marilyn Monroe and received nominations from the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild awards. However, the film was also nominated for several 2023 Razzie Awards.

Ana married Spanish actor Marc Clotet in 2011, but the two divorced just two years later. Ana currently makes her home in Los Angeles.
