While Ana de Armas turned out to be the most loved character in the multi-starrer film Knives Out, the actress revealed that she didn't want to go ahead portraying the character in the first place. The shocking revelation of the actress disclosed why she almost left the role, which eventually changed her career.

The 32-year-old actress played Marta Cabrera's character who the caretaker of the house and her portrayal garnered massive appreciation from the critics along with bagging a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy nomination.

In an interview with Flaunt magazine for their latest issue, the actress said that things could turn out differently as she shared details of her audition. According to the actress, the description she received during the audition was just three words, Pretty, Caretakers, and Latina.

The actress further said that the description was so little that she assumed the person who wrote the description didn't put many thoughts into it. However, she thought that she will be definitely denying the role as three words didn't mean anything to her at that time.

The actress said that she is proud of being hailed from Cuban and acknowledges being a Latina. However, she has been portraying a Latina character for a long time, and now, it doesn't seem interesting anymore.

"It gets very boring, very quickly and I want to do other things... and even if you’re playing a Latina, not all Latinas are the same... I want to think and believe that I can play anybody, anywhere in the world because the stories I want to tell are universal,” she explained.

De Armas doesn't wish to take stereotypical roles in the future in hope that directors will cast her in characters that are beyond her accent and race. The actress said that she wants to tell a story instead of playing a similar character in every other story. The actress explained further how challenging it becomes for actresses to get a good role in general as there are almost no good characters for women.

De Armas said that there is a "need to push" things more in order to make directors, producers, and writers think about creating stories that will showcase women in much higher regard and represent something meaningful. Knives Out film also made her felt like she was being typecast in a stereotypical role because of which she almost quit the role following the audition.
