Early Life
De Armas was born on April 30, 1988, in Havana, Cuba. She was raised in the small city of Santa Cruz del Norte by her father and mother, Ramón and Ana. Her father worked a number of different jobs while she was growing up, including as a teacher, principal, bank manager, and deputy mayor of the town, while her mother worked in human resources at the Ministry of Education. She grew up with her older brother, Javier, and has generally described her childhood as happy despite growing up in Cuba during a time of fuel shortages, food rationing, and electricity blackouts.
De Armas decided she wanted to become an actress at the age of 12 after watching Hollywood movies in her neighbor's apartment, as her family did not own a video or DVD player. She joined the Havana National Theatre of Cuba at the age of 14 and filmed three movies in Cuba during this time.

Career
While in Cuba, de Armas had roles in the films "Una rosa de Francia," "El edén perdido," and "Madrigal." While promoting one of the films, she traveled to Spain, where she was introduced to Juan Lanja, who would later become her Spanish agent.
At the age of 18, de Armas moved to Madrid to expand her acting career. Within two weeks of arriving, she met with casting director Luis San Narciso, who had seen her performance in "Una Rosa de Francia." He then cast her in the teen drama, "El Internado." De Armas played the role of Carolina for six seasons of the show from 2007 until 2010. The show was set at a boarding school and was hugely popular in Spain, where she became a celebrity. During this time, she also starred in the coming-of-age comedy, "Mentiras y Gordas" in 2009. However, de Armas became fearful that she was being typecast in mainly teenage roles given the success of "El Internado" and asked to be written out of the series in its second to last season,
De Armas then moved to New York City for a few months in order to improve her English skills. She returned to Spain in order to star in seventeen episodes of the series, "Hispania," a historical drama. After her role in that series concluded in 2011, she then starred in a number of films by Antonio Trashorra, including "El callejón" in 2011 and "Anabel" in 2015.
After this period, de Armas experienced somewhat of a lull in her acting career. She started participating in acting workshops at a theater in Madrid and then acquired a Hollywood agent, who encouraged her to move to Los Angeles, which she did in 2014.

De Armas stated that by moving to LA, she was required to start her acting career from scratch, as she did not know very much English and had essentially no name recognition in the United States. She spent four months in full-time English courses upon arrival. Her first role in a Hollywood film was opposite Keanu Reeves in "Knock Knock" in 2015. Reeves then offered her a role in the thriller film, "Exposed," which he was producing in 2016. She also appeared in "War Dogs" and "Hands of Stone" the same year, often learning her lines phonetically.
The next year, in 2017, de Armas landed a supporting role in "Blade Runner 2049," for which she received glowing reviews. She also appeared in the action thriller film, "Overdrive." The next year, she starred in the medical drama, "Corazón," which was funded by the Montefiore Medical Center in order to raise awareness for organ donation.
De Armas caught her big break in Hollywood in 2019 when she had a starring role in the ensemble cast of the film, "Knives Out." She was highly praised for her work by many critics. She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the Best Actress category in the Motion Picture Comedy or Musical category. She also won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress.
In 2020, de Armas appeared in four films – "The Informer," "The Night Clerk," "Sergio," and "Wasp Network." She received positive reviews for all four roles.
