Ana de Armas prefers to do anything else, even intense stunts, instead of sing onscreen. The actress, who will soon join the "John Wick" franchise with "Ballerina," said during "Hot Ones" in the below video that any stunt work is better than carrying a tune -- something she had to do for Ron Howard's survival film "Eden."

"I hated it," de Armas said. "I remember when I talked to [director] Ron. And I was like 'Ron, I really think I should lip sync. This is not for me.' And he just didn't want to hear it. He was like 'no, you're singing. You're singing. If you do it bad, it's good for the character.' And I'm like 'yeah but people don't know that.'"

De Armas continued, "I just couldn't convince him to let me lip sync so I had to learn the song. It was horrible. I was terrified. I would rather do 100 stunts than sing that song. It was terrifying because it's also in front of all the actors. I just felt very exposed and vulnerable and it's not one of my talents for sure."

De Armas previously told Vanity Fair that starring in "Eden" pushed her to get to her "craziest" self onscreen, which is no small feat given her past dedication to portraying Marilyn Monroe in "Blonde."

"I got a little scared, and I told [Ron] I was nervous because it was really out there," de Armas said of joining "Eden," which also stars Sydney Sweeney, Jude Law, and Vanessa Kirby. "He was very supportive and excited. There was no question I wanted to do it. I wanted the challenge."

The "Deep Water" star added, "Having this crazy threesome relationship, and being a woman of opposites -- either she's sweet and tender and fragile and nervous and scared, or she's absolutely crazy and dangerous, it was kind of finding that limit. What was the craziest I could get? How far could I go?"

At the time, director Howard praised de Armas' "creative courage," saying, "She's a risk-taker as an artist, and I knew that it was going to take that kind of individual." The IndieWire review for "Eden" also deemed de Armas a "scream in a cast filled with standout performances."
