-Thank you, thank you,
thank you. I'm so happy that you're here. -Me too. Very exciting.
-I'm a fan. It's your first time
on our show. -Yes.
-I want to get to know you. I want to ask you -- you're
from Cuba, is that correct? -Yeah.
-And did you start acting there? -I did. I went to drama school
when I was 14. That was like, four years
of theater school. -Yeah. -And when I was on my second
year, I did my first movie. I auditioned for it
and I got it, and the teachers
were not very happy and they told me
if I did the movie, I was going to --
[ Clicks tongue ] get kicked out of school.
-Of acting school? -Yeah, because, you know...
-Wait. This is kind of the goal, right? -Well, if you do a movie,
you're not going to school. So...
-I understand, yeah. -I still did it, though.
-That's right. Look at you now.
Come on. Yeah, exactly right. [ Applause ] -So they made me repeat
the year. -Oh, really? They did? -It was worth it. -Yeah. Oh, good. Yeah. I also heard something that you
used to hitchhike to school. -Yeah. Didn't you? -No. No. That's very dangerous. I don't hitchhike. -No, it's not in Cuba. I mean, you just get there
faster than just -- -I understand, yeah, but... -I will get there faster
than you, maybe. -Yes, you will. Yeah. Because no one
would pick me up. If we're both on the street
with our thumb out, they're gonna pick you up
and not me. -Well, I didn't
do the thumb thing. I'd just go to the stoplight,
so the cars have to stop. -You would just jump into
strangers' cars, like, "Take me to school"? -Pretty much.
-Yeah? -You just go to the window. I'm like, "Hey, can you go
to the next stoplight?" -No, this is too dangerous.
Oh no, no. -No, it's not. I mean,
everyone's very used to it. It's like free carpool. -Any children watching,
don't do this. But is that how you
ended up in the Bond movie? Because you're from --
No, no, no! Not hitchhiking. Not hitchhiking. Being from Cuba, sorry.
-"Hey." "Hi, do you guys mind
if I'm in this movie?" -"Do you go to London?" -"Can I be in the new
007 movie?" "Sure. Come on." No, but is it
because you're from Cuba? Is that how? -I mean, something
to do with that. I think... -You're so good in this,
by the way. I told you backstage,
but I really mean it. -Thank you.
-You get a giant laugh. I'm not going to spoil
anything for anyone. I won't ever do that.
but dude. This one scene,
it's just beautiful to look at. I go, it's it's iconic, It's iconic.
-Thank you. -You did, you crushed it.
You're fantastic. -Thank you. Thank you. -Do you want to describe
who you play? Your 00 agent? -Yeah, I play Paloma.
She's a CIA agent in Cuba. -She's there to assist Bond
in his mission. And she very excited
about the job. -Yeah, yeah. You really are.
-She's very, very happy, and like, you know, also nervous because it's her first job,
big, big job. -Yeah, you're like --
I could say the line. You're like, "Oh, I'm only three weeks
in training on the job." -Yeah, yeah, exactly.
-Yeah. -The funny thing is that
I also had only three weeks training,
so I think I just kept saying it so much that Cary was like,
"Just say it. It's fine." -Oh, because that's real life.
-"Just keep it." -You just came from doing
a Marilyn Monroe movie right to this. -Yeah. -Was that difficult to go
from that extreme to this? -Yeah. Well...yeah.
-Yeah. -I mean,
Marilyn did not train at all. -No. Yeah, no.
-Like Paloma. I mean, it was, it's like
opposite things, you know? I did Marilyn,
it was a very intense, and then I finished shooting
on a Friday. I got on a plane on a Saturday and I started shooting Bond
on Monday. So I just remember
being on set like, my first scene and I kind of
like started whispering and Cary was like, "Mmm. No, we're here now." "You're in this movie now."
-This movie now. -[ As Marilyn Monroe ]
"Happy birthday." "No, we're not doing that now.
We're doing this." -Kind of.
-We're doing this movie now. Daniel Craig.
you guys are great together. Is it odd that
you were in "Knives Out" and then you're with Bond? You guys are
a traveling team now. -[ Laughing ]
-You go together. -Yeah, that was awesome. I mean, "Knives Out,"
it was such a special movie. We had so much fun, and Daniel and I
were together all the time. We were this team. But back then, only Daniel was talking
about Bond and his training. I had no idea what was
going to happen. -That you were gonna be in it?
-No, no. That happened,
like, four months later. -He's phenomenal, man. -It was a
very happy coincidence. -I loved the movie
top to bottom. I'm a big fan of all the movies, but this one has everything
you could even think about. Action, you know, suspense, spy thriller thing,
love story. -Humor.
-Humor. It's emotional,
but also it's real stunts. It's not just like a CGI thing,
which, you know, is fine. This is like, real
human beings doing crazy stunts. You're like, "What?" I've never seen anything like
that one motorcycle thing. -It is spectacular, really. -It's a movie. It's just like, wow, they made
an unbelievable movie. -You really like it.
-I loved it. I loved it. It was so good. I want to show everyone
a clip from the movie. Here's Ana de Armas in
"No Time to Die." Take a look. [ Gunfire ] ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ -Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ] That's what I'm talking about! That is what I'm talking about!
That exact scene! You're amazing. Ana de Armas!
