Her accent is very heavy, it was going to take a lot for her to convincingly sound like Marilyn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201ca lot of people forget about marilyn monroe\u2019s thick cuban accent..\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like Ana de Armas but I gotta admit I\u2019m skeptical about her playing Marilyn Monroe\u2026 Her accent is still pretty obvious in everything I\u2019ve seen her in. It\u2019s not like <strong>Nicole Kidman<\/strong> or <strong>Saoirse Ronan<\/strong> who can completely disguise their native accent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201ci dunno i tried to love it but it just doesn\u2019t feel right\u2026 she looks so much like her but the accent throws it off\u2026. marilyn monroe was a white woman lmfaooo i need to hear the transatlantic accent\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamn she\u2019s got Marilyn Monroe\u2019s thick Spanish accent down pat!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Ana de Armas is a fantastic actress and looks great as Marilyn BUT I still hear her accent in the Blonde trailer and it\u2019s taking her out of character for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cmaybe Marilyn Monroe had a Cuban accent in real life too? i dunno i wasn\u2019t around back then. she could have sounded like anything\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"highlight\">LOLz!<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, not everyone is so upset about the slight difference, one person mused:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cana de armas\u2019 accent is the coolest thing about that marilyn monroe trailer to me cuz it\u2019s telling me that the story itself it\u2019s about artifice like yes ana de armas is pretending to be marilyn monroe, the real marilyn monroe was doing exactly that too\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Huh. That\u2019s one perspective. Another person pointed out:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201clet me remind those commenting on ana de armas\u2019 accent playing marilyn monroe that we have a long history of american actors botching accents of other nationalities in film and you don\u2019t blink twice. you\u2019ll survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fair point! Perhaps the most important critic of all, the <strong>Marilyn Monroe Estate<\/strong>, is finally speaking out \u2014 and, surprisingly, its on board with the controversial accent!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Ripley\u2019s Says Kim Kardashian Did NOT Damage Marilyn\u2019s Dress!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Monday, <strong>Marc Rosen<\/strong>, the president of entertainment at <strong>Authentic Brands Group<\/strong> (which owns the artist\u2019s estate) defended the <em>Knives Out<\/em> alum\u2019s casting and accent in a statement to <em>Variety<\/em>, insisting:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMarilyn Monroe is a singular Hollywood and pop culture icon that transcends generations and history. Any actor that steps into that role knows they have big shoes to fill.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"highlight\">So true!<\/p>\n<p>Marc went on:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBased on the trailer alone, it looks like Ana was a great casting choice as she captures Marilyn\u2019s glamour, humanity, and vulnerability. We can\u2019t wait to see the film in its entirety.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As mentioned, earlier this year, Ana told <em>The Sunday Times<\/em> that she put in nine months of work with a voice coach to (attempt to) master the model\u2019s voice \u2014 though she noted that it was a MAJOR challenge! The actress revealed:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt only took me nine months of dialect coaching, and practicing, and some ADR sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Getting candid, she added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt was a big torture, so exhausting. My brain was fried.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We bet it was tough! Embodying a legend like Marilyn is no small feat!! But do U think her accent will affect the success of the film?
