Ana de Armas is "having so much fun" with Tom Cruise.
The 'Blonde' actress, 37, has teamed up with the Hollywood superstar for a new movie project along with filmmaker Doug Liman and 'Mission: Impossible' franchise director Christopher McQuarrie - and Ana has revealing the process has been "amazing" and she's doing "crazy training".
She told WWD: "Obviously, everyone knows I'm working with Tom Cruise. We're working on something with Doug Liman and Christopher Mcquarrie, and those guys are unbelievable at everything they do.
"And they're so lovely and a great team, and the process we're having is amazing. And of course I'm doing crazy training, as you do when you're working with Tom.
"It's another level that just keeps setting the bar higher and higher. But it's so much fun. And we're not only working on that thing that we're training for, but also a couple other things too. We just got excited."
Ana went on to reveal she took some time off following her Oscar nomination for Marilyn Monroe movie 'Blonde' and completing her 'John Wick' spin-off 'Ballerina' to contemplate her next career move.
She added: "It was a weird time. I wanted to find what was next for me. I really wanted to see what I wanted to do and what I wanted to get involved in and who I wanted to work with. So I just took my time.
"Yes, I did have meetings and I did get some scripts, but sometimes that's also kind of hard. You make it harder on yourself because somehow you make up your mind and you have certain expectations about something that should be arriving, but it's not.
"Or maybe it is, but you're so fixed on something that you might be missing out on whatever you have in front of you."
It comes after Ana revealed she's trying to keep her "public persona" should be kept separate from her real life away and doesn't want to let herself get upset over the "negative side of fame".
She told ELLE Spain magazine: "Over the years, you get more used to it. You learn to find your corners, your privacy, your way of doing things, your lifestyle...
"I'm one of those who think there should be external boundaries, a barrier that's quite visible to others and to oneself.
"Making it clear: 'This is as far as I go with my work, my public persona, what's expected of me, and what I want to share with viewers and fans.'
"That's wonderful, and I want to do it."
Ana also reflected on life in the limelight, and the idea of everyone deserving "that minimum of respect".
She explained: "You can't let the negative side of fame upset you, because then you won't enjoy the beautiful aspects, but it's essential to separate.
"We're all people and we need that privacy, consideration, and space. It seems incredible to have to say it, but we've forgotten that minimum of respect for others.
"Sometimes we have to make an abrupt stop so others are aware of your reality, but, well, I find my way. When I want to disappear from the map, I do."
