Ana de Armas was "terrified" of singing in 'Eden'.

The 37-year-old actress starred in the Ron Howard-directed survival thriller film alongside Vanessa Kirby, Sydney Sweeney and Jude Law, and Ana has now revealed that she did everything she could to avoid having to sing in the movie.

During an appearance on 'Hot Ones', the actress explained: "I hated it.

"I remember when I talked to Ron. And I was like 'Ron, I really think I should lip sync. This is not for me.' And he just didn't want to hear it.

"He was like 'no, you're singing. You're singing. If you do it bad, it's good for the character.' And I'm like 'yeah but people don't know that.'"

Ana admitted that she would've rather done "100 stunts than sing" in the film.

The actress recalled feeling "very exposed and vulnerable" at the time.

Ana explained: "I just couldn't convince him to let me lip sync so I had to learn the song.

 

"It was horrible. I was terrified. I would rather do 100 stunts than sing that song. It was terrifying because it's also in front of all the actors. I just felt very exposed and vulnerable and it's not one of my talents, for sure."

Ana previously portrayed Marilyn Monroe in 'Blonde', the Andrew Dominik-directed biographical drama film. And the actress admitted that she finds it easy to relate to the Hollywood icon.

She told Vanity Fair magazine: "There was a lot there that I could relate to.

"If you put Marilyn Monroe the movie star aside, she's just an actress trying to navigate life and this system, which is so hard to navigate for anybody. On top of that, you add this point of view of Andrew's, which was to see that through her trauma.

"I truly thought it was going to do justice to a more dimensional human being, because I wouldn't want to be remembered just for one thing. I am more than just an actress on the cover of a magazine."

Ana thinks modern-day movie stars don't compare to people like Marilyn.

She said: "The concept of a movie star is someone untouchable you only see onscreen. That mystery is gone. For the most part, we've done that to ourselves - nobody's keeping anything from anyone anymore."
