The dating world is always a tricky one, and something that doesn't just apply to us 'normal' people.
Ana de Armas is one of the biggest names in Hollywood right now, but that certainly hasn't always been the case. While promoting her movie Ghosted earlier this year, de Armas spoke about how she was in fact ghosted. For those who need a refresher on what 'ghosting' is, it's a dating trend where one person just suddenly cuts off all contact and practically disappears.
One minute they're noncommittally answering 'haha yeah lol' to a relatively unfunny text you sent and the next it's like they never existed at all - just like a ghost.
Yes, the signs may have been there all the time, but when you are in the talking stage thinking you're chatting to the love of your life, you can be a bit oblivious. For the countless number of us that have been through it, the act of ghosting can be pretty hurtful, and that also applies to celebrities as well.
Among those who have been on the receiving end of ghosting is de Armas. When asked if she'd ever ghosted someone or been ghosted, she said: "I have, and I have. I wasn't always looking like this. It's been a lot of years in-between."
This revelation came as something of a shock to those who saw the interview, who were perplexed at the idea that someone would be daft enough to ghost someone like de Armas.
People were very confused as to 'how could someone ghost Ana de Armas' and reckoned that the men who'd done that must be kicking themselves right about now. Others were desperate to know exactly 'who ghosted her', while a few wondered if perhaps the showbiz lifestyle made it difficult to stay with someone regardless of how good they looked.
Her co-star Chris Evans was adamant that he hadn't ever ghosted anyone, though de Armas revealed she didn't really believe that. Evans said he'd 'rather be ghosted' as you could just assume 'they maybe changed their number' and tell yourself there was a breakdown in communication.
The Marvel star said that at least with ghosting there was some 'ambiguity' and it was better than the 'slow tortured drip' of a person just slowly fading from your life. He said it was 'much worse when the person just texts you less and less' as it meant 'they want nothing to do with me and there's no mistaking it'.
Apparently this is called 'Caspering', so named after the Casper the Friendly Ghost titular character and it's supposed to be a more friendly type of ghosting where you steadily fade away instead of dropping off the face of the Earth entirely.
While she has starred in the likes of Blonde in recent times, there is no question that Ana De Armas is known for her roles in action films From appearing in the James Bond movie No Time to Die as Paloma, to roles in the The Gray Man and Blade Runner 2049.
It is safe to say that de Armas is well accustomed to the genre, but that looks set to be stopping rather soon. In a recent interview, de Armas revealed that after her new movie Ballerina (a John Wick spin-off), she will be quitting action films.
For those unaware of Ballerina, it will tell a story during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick 4. In the movie, de Armas plays the main protagonist of Rooney - an assassin out to get revenge for the death of her family. But Ballerina appears to be the actor's last action film for a while, as she revealed she will now take a more focused approach to choosing her projects in the future.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, the No Time to Die actor explained that this would involve taking a step back from action and thriller films. She said: "After Bond, there was kind of a wave of all these action roles, and that was fun. I chose from the ones that I thought were more exciting or with people I wanted to work with.
"I feel like Ballerina is going to be the end of that, at least for now, because I’m craving a wave of Blonde-type films. The actor continued: "I want to do work with directors and do character work. I have had the opportunity to meet directors that I want to work with. "The people that I’m getting access to is changing, and that makes me very excited."
Elsewhere in the interview, de Armas touched on the much-talked about 2022 release, Blonde.
De Amas was asked by Vanity Fair if Blonde's portrayal of Hollywood had made her reconsider what it is like working in the industry. She said: "Oh, yeah, for sure. The sad part for me - and the most challenging - is to see not only what happened in the ’40s and ’50s and ’60s but to see patterns continue to happen.
"It’s definitely made me more protective of myself and set boundaries and know my limits for how much I’m willing to give - and how much I want to keep to myself. "But at the same time, it clearly is a place where incredible opportunities happen."
