“Blonde would never let me go,” he said at the festival, via Deadline.

The NC-17 film reimagines the life of Monroe, whose real name was Norma Jeane, as it explores her identity as a public figure and a private woman.

“I truly believe that she was very close to us, she was with us… She was all I thought about, she was all I dreamed about, she was all I could talk about,” de Armas said during the press conference, feeling the spirit of the starlet was with them. “She was with me and it was beautiful. I think she was happy… Being in the same places that she was, filming in her house, it was a very strong sensation there was something in the air and I think she was approving of what we were doing.”

“Blonde” will be released on Netflix on Sept. 23.
