The Irishman star‘s cardio workout seemed to reveal another important piece of news for the actress. While watching the film during her workout, the star celebrated. “I remember when I was a little girl, now I’m going to get to work with this man.” Dascha and Sylvester are set to work alongside each other in the upcoming super hero drama, Samaritan. So far, no additional details have been released about the film.

The mother-of-two often takes to her social media to share her fun fitness with her over 2 million followers. In her stories, and sometimes on her feed, the health-conscious actress shares clips dancing, meditating and hitting the gym. In August, the In the Heights star opened up to HOLA!

“I was very careful about what would they think of me if they knew what was going," Dascha explained. "I was so self-conscious, and now I’m telling everybody you know what, you can f-ck off. Tomorrow we’re here [and] tomorrow we’re not and who the f-ck gives a f-ck. Everybody keeps on going and nobody gives a f-ck.

“I think it’s not a moment of us resisting it’s a moment of us supporting one another, evolving. Knowing the balance of what to accept. It’s okay for somebody to hold the door for you. You deserve for that door to be held. We birth. We are queens. Embrace every part. What you don’t like you fix. What you can’t fix you love and f-ck it.”
