Did you know Ana de Armas learned to speak English from Friends? The Spanish actress recently made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut, and during her monologue, the James Bond actress shared that she&nbsp;learned English from the 90s famous sitcom.&nbsp; 
 
Starting her speech in Spanish, Armas said that she was happy to host the sketch. However, she later started speaking in English and said, ''Just kidding. I speak English. But I didn't when I first got to the U.S.''

Born in Cuba, Ana moved to the United States when she was 26 years old and during her speech, she said, “I learned English the way everyone who comes to this country does — by watching ‘Friends.''' 
 
Further talking, De Armas named the character of the show that helped her in English and any guess, who it was? It's Chandler Bing.&nbsp; 
 
Ana said jokingly, "Who would have thought that the best English tutor would be Chandler Bing? I mean, look at me now. Could I be any better at English?" 
 
The Blonde star recently made history by becoming the first Cuba-born actress to land&nbsp;an Academy Award nomination for her outstanding work in&nbsp;the Netflix film Blonde. The actress made her SNL debut wearing a stunning black leather dress.&nbsp; 
 
During her monologue, the actress also shared a sweet gesture from actor Robert DeNiro. Giving a shout-out to the veteran actor, Armas said how DeNiro once surprised her father by showing up at his office in Cuba without any prior notice.

“I am proud to become a citizen because when I moved here, everyone was so welcoming.”
