Ana de Armas seen with Marilyn Monroe’s platinum curls in trailer for Blonde

Actor also recreates the famous movie still in which Monroe’s white dress blew up above her knees.

Ana de Armas transformed into Marilyn Monroe in the trailer for the biopic Blonde.

The Cuba-born actor, who recently appeared as Paloma in the Bond film No Time To Die, sports the Hollywood star’s famous platinum curls in the two-minute teaser.

Set to “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend”, it shows Monroe’s glamorous life as she gets ready for a film premiere before posing for the paparazzi.

But things take a dark turn as she admits to a confidante: “I can’t face doing another scene with Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn doesn’t exist.

“When I come out of my dressing room I am Norma Jeane. I’m still her when the camera is rolling. Marilyn Monroe only exists on the screen.”

De Armas is also seen recreating the famous movie still from the 1955 feature The Seven Year Itch, in which her white dress blows up as she stands above a subway grate.

The trailer ends with the words “Watched by all, seen by none”.
