Ana de Armas was caught out thirsting over “sexiest man alive” Chris Evans and revealed “there’s chemistry there” as she praised her co-star.

The pair first shared the screen in 2019’s whodunnit mystery, Knives Out, and are now starring together in new action flick, Ghosted.

Speaking to People Magazine about the film, Ana admitted to the pair's "chemistry" and discussed Chris’ new title of 'Sexiest Man Alive’.

"It was going to happen at some point. You guys were late. [It was] not 'if' just 'when.'"

Their new flick Ghosted, which is out on Friday (April 21), follows clingy farmer Cole - played by Chris - who has a spectacular first date with Ana’s character Sadie.

But there’s a catch; she’s a highly trained CIA agent who has to protect Cole from danger at every turn on her quest to save the world.

The usual Hollywood hardman is playing a more cushy role, and it might not just be onscreen where the pair have a romantic spark.

While the action was gruelling and demanding for the pair, the romance came “easy”, according to Ana.

She said: “I think the other part of the movie, the fun, the romance, the conversations and all of that, it comes very natural for Chris and I, and it was just very easy.

“The chemistry's there and there's nothing forced. That part was good.”

The duo, who still have a “reliable” connection after their third movie together, said their relationship is going from strength to strength.

Ana concluded: “I feel like it gets better, deeper.”
