Danny Ramirez has bad cell service\u2014for good reason. The 33-year-old actor and new Michael Kors campaign star is calling from Guadalajara, where he\u2019s filming De Noche, a period piece directed by Todd Haynes, in which his character, a boarding school teacher, falls in love with Pedro Pascal. His phone keeps glitching, transmitting a voice that sounds like a movie star on Auto-Tune. \u201cI might be a voice double,\u201d he tells ELLE. \u201cShould we tell everyone this is AI?\u201d<\/p>\n
For the record, Ramirez is very much a real guy, albeit one who has become a fantasy boyfriend for millions thanks to his hunky work in Mission: Impossible and the Marvel Universe, along with his paparazzi-candy relationship with certified goddess Jessica Alba.<\/p>\n
The thing is, his current dating situation is the least interesting thing about Ramirez. An avid literature junkie and former soccer star, he\u2019s currently reading four books at once, working on a Basquiat biopic and a Scarface remake, and\u2014somehow\u2014teaching normal dudes how to carry a designer man bag without evaporating into a puff of smoke. Surely that\u2019s worth a good talk. Read more below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nCourtesy Michael Kors<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I\u2019ve done the overloaded pocket experience, and it\u2019s one of the most uncomfortable feelings on the planet. Because guys tend to have pockets, we overuse them and are stubborn about using a bag. But through sports, I started adapting to needing a place to hold my cleats or an extra pair of clothes, so I\u2019ve always been bag-forward\u2014it\u2019s just about the type of bag. Once I started going to coffee shops, a nice little satchel worked great. I have sympathy for people without pockets and the need to carry a bag. It just makes life easier, and the moment you can make it stylish too, it\u2019s kind of the perfect storm.<\/p>\n Well, now that I\u2019m exposed to fashion more, I go down rabbit holes, and by the end I\u2019m like, I respect the craft of this, and I can see why people love it. I\u2019ve definitely started relinquishing my expectations about what I thought style was, and now I\u2019m slowly learning the language. I went from having the classic suit, which I thought was the only way to go, to experimenting with bell bottoms, longer lines, different layers…it\u2019s like opening a book on a random subject\u2014by the end, you\u2019re hooked. <\/p>\n I\u2019m reading…wait, let me think…four. I\u2019m reading four books right now.<\/p>\n Yeah, The Psychology of Storytelling is one. I just bought The Tipping Point\u2014I read it about 12 years ago and there\u2019s a sequel now! So why not revisit it, and see if it\u2019s still something that feels like a phenomenon in the world, you know? And there\u2019s a book about film editing…you kind of opened the floodgates, here. Every time I go to Barnes & Noble, I go in for one book and come out with 12. <\/p>\n Courtesy Michael Kors<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Perfect.<\/p>\n I\u2019m from Miami; it\u2019s so big here. It\u2019s on everyone\u2019s Christmas wish list: my mom, my sister. I grew up seeing it as, like, that\u2019s the thing to have. Your first associations with things are where it sticks, and it was always a wish list item for everyone I knew. I\u2019m actually excited to go back to Miami now with this campaign and hopefully hook up my mom and sister. To them, it\u2019s like the biggest thing I\u2019ve done. Movies? Fine. Michael Kors? A bigger deal.<\/p>\n This is a good question. Honestly, it\u2019s gotten better. There are people doing a much better job now in regard to getting resources to getting the right dialogue for the right character. Definitely the ones I play. But I think I\u2019m like any actor that just has to find the words to fit into the scene, whether it\u2019s Spanish or English. I adjust it if it feels\u2014you know, it\u2019s like you get dressed by the [costume] designer and then you have to adjust your clothes so they fit? I also have to embody these lines. And when it\u2019s in Spanish, even if the Spanish is \u201cright,\u201d that doesn\u2019t always mean that it\u2019s going to be \u201cright\u201d for you. And so there\u2019s a flexibility that happens. It\u2019s character over dialogue. That\u2019s a dance that happens every time. It\u2019s a very exciting part of the job. <\/p>\n Well, I think the thing about a \u201cweekend getaway\u201d is that it\u2019s gonna pop up randomly, and you don\u2019t always know when they\u2019re coming. Especially for me, because with shooting, I just don\u2019t know when I\u2019ll have free days. It\u2019s kind of like, \u201cOh, wow, I have these two days. Let\u2019s make something happen.\u201d And so I think the first rule of a weekend getaway is having a wish list of where we can get away if you have the time. Then when the moment arrives, it doesn\u2019t just pass, because you\u2019ve made a plan. Now let\u2019s say you\u2019re going on the getaway and there\u2019s a relationship. Let\u2019s say you\u2019re going with someone.<\/p>\n So I think before you leave, you both need to check in on your relationship with your phone and your laptop, and kind of pre-agree with yourself, like, how much you want to engage in technology and how much you can just shut it off. Setting that hard boundary about no phones or no laptops is a thing, now more than ever, because our phones and our social media accounts are often an extension of ourselves. But once you set that line on a vacation, it\u2019s really good to make sure that line doesn\u2019t change. Whether you\u2019re going to the beach or Aspen or wherever, solidifying that you\u2019re there to be in the moment with each other, that\u2019s really important. And then when you get there, even though it\u2019s hectic, just trying to say in the moment.<\/p>\n Oh, absolutely. And also, honestly, take the sunglasses with you. They\u2019re great on the beach. They look so good with everything.

Some guys are resistant, even though they\u2019re great. Is this a better move for you than pockets? <\/h2>\n
It sounds like you\u2019re getting really into fashion, in a good way.
<\/h2>\nWhat book are you hooked on right now?
<\/h2>\nFour? <\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nThey can go in the man bag.<\/h2>\n
Was Michael Kors a big brand for you growing up?
<\/h2>\nMovies like Captain America are finally incorporating Spanish dialogue into their scripts. But Spanish has so many dialects, even just where you\u2019re from in Miami. How do you work with screenwriters to make sure their Spanish is the characters\u2019 Spanish? <\/h2>\n
What are your prerequisites for a great weekend getaway? Perhaps a trip to Miami or Saint-Tropez, where the campaign was shot.<\/h2>\n
Let\u2019s!
<\/h2>\nYou should also pack your laptop and iPhone away in your Michael Kors luggage once you land. <\/h2>\n
