White-hot Ana is proud to be a real Bond woman

- By Steph Spyro

BOND girl Ana de Armas looks white on the money in this sultry suit with transparen­t trouser legs.

And she looks equally glamorous in red on the cover of Porter magazine where she revealed her joy on reuniting with Daniel Craig.

The Cuban-Spanish actress 31, was nominated for best performanc­e by an actress in a musical or comedy for Knives Out – where she featured alongside Daniel, 51.

She said working on the 2019 box-office hit with him “was so great”.

And they reunited on the latest Bond outing No Time To Die.

Ana recently revealed that her CIA agent character Paloma was created by director Cary Joji Fukunaga specifical­ly for the actress – and was written by Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

She said: “You could also tell that Phoebe was in there. There was that humour and spikiness so specific to her.

“My character feels like

a real woman.” And Daniel was equally thrilled to star alongside her again. He said: “I should always be so lucky to work with a woman like that.

“This is a movie where there’s a lot of **** going on, a lot of big acting, myself very much included, but she shines through because she’s the real deal.

“She’s got very good comic timing and we’re not offering her a huge part. But she came in and just nailed it.”

Her next role is playing Marilyn Monroe in the highly anticipate­d biopic, Blonde.

She said: “I read everything I could about Marilyn.

“It wasn’t just about transformi­ng physically to look the part – it was about understand­ing her emotional life, how intelligen­t she was, and how fragile.”

No Time To Die will be in cinemas on April 3.
