Ana de Armas Spoofed Again: Cardin.Ja Mocks Her Alleged Romance with Díaz-Canel’s Stepson

Thursday, November 21, 2024 by Elizabeth Alvarado

The satirical profile Cardin.Ja, renowned for its sharp critiques of the Cuban regime, has once again stirred up social media with a video spoofing the alleged remarks of Ana de Armas regarding her alleged relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, stepson of President Miguel Díaz-Canel.

This parody artfully weaves irreverent humor with references to Cuban politics and the glitz of Hollywood. In the video, Cardin.Ja's version of "Ana de Armas" sarcastically begins: “You gossip mongers, I'm here to clear up this whole mess I'm in. As if I cared.”

Throughout the monologue, fictional confessions about her romance with Anido—whom she affectionately dubs “Manolín”—are interspersed with veiled jabs at the Cuban government: “He was walking his dog because he says it reminds him of how his stepdad and mom treat Cubans, like they're...”

The satire takes aim at Lis Cuesta, Manuel Anido's mother and Díaz-Canel's wife, with playful mockery: “My lovely mother-in-law, whom you know is quite controversial with her mop obsession. I call her estropaja, mother-in-law, because I know you have no clue.”

Adding to the humor, the character humorously describes how her Hollywood career intertwined with her love life: “Imagine, I was at a stage where I was just sending messages from an unknown number to Jennifer Lopez when she got with Ben Affleck (Batman). You know I had a fling with him for a bit and ended up causing more damage than the Penguin and Joker combined.”

“I tried mixing a Cuban blender in him, and he wasn't ready for that conversation. Boy, he almost lost his neck, went blind like Daredevil, that other character he played when...” she remarked.

The satire wraps up with a clever nod to the regime and the controversy surrounding their relationship: “Even if it’s fake, I can't miss the chance to have a father-in-law like him (Díaz-Canel). You’re all just jealous, mind your own business.”

Following the confirmation by Spanish magazine ¡HOLA! of the romance between Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido Cuesta, social media erupted with memes critiquing and parodying the surprising relationship between the Cuban actress and Díaz-Canel's stepson.
