James Bond and Blonde star Ana de Armas has restricted comments on Instagram after receiving a massive backlash for her romance with the stepson of Cuba’s president.

The Cuban actress, 36, is being savaged by her compatriots and others who accuse her of dating the son of a dictatorship that she fled from.

Ana was pictured on a romantic stroll in Madrid with 26-year-old Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, who was handpicked by Raul Castro and  ‘chosen’ in an election in which there were no opposition challengers allowed.

Diaz Canel has overseen the collapse of Cuba’s economy and continued the Castro doctrine that allows no opposition parties or protests against the ruling party.

Like the Castros before him, he has been accused of overseeing massive human rights abuses.

He is Cuba‘s first leader in six decades not surnamed Castro, after Raul Castro went into semi-retirement following his stint as president. He had taken over from his brother, Cuba’s revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, in 2016. 

The Knives Out star, who left Cuba and moved to Spain at the age of 18, was previously dating Tinder vice-president Paul Boukadakis.

‘The famous actress Ana de Armas was photographed in Madrid with the Cuban genocidal Manuel Anido Cuesta, stepson of the dictator Díaz Canel and possible successor. 

‘They are a couple. Murderers. Enjoying Madrid as if nothing was happening.’
