Danny Ramirez Talks About His Gay Romance Movie Being Cancelled After Joaquin Phoenix Dropped Out

Buy Me A Coffee

Lights, camera, heartbreak! Danny Ramirez and Joaquin Phoenix graced the red carpet at the Academy Museum Gala this past weekend (October 20), giving everyone a masterclass in how to look fabulous when your movie just got the axe. Yes, the only thing hotter than their looks was the sizzling scandal surrounding their canceled flick.

This wasn’t just any film. Oh no, it was the movieβ€”a spicy NC-17 gay romance set in the 1930s, where two men in love make a daring escape to Mexico. Think β€œBrokeback Mountain,” but with even more forbidden love and maybe fewer cowboys. Alas, the movie is now deader than a Netflix password-sharing policy.

As Danny strutted down the carpet, reporters couldn’t help but ask: “How are you holding up after Joaquin yeeted out of the project and took the entire movie down with him?”

With the grace of a man who’s had three strong coffees and a motivational podcast, Danny told Variety, β€œYeah, it’s disappointing… but hey, if Joaquin bouncing out on me doesn’t scream β€˜inspiration,’ what does?”

He added with a philosophical twinkle, β€œThis just makes me wanna push harder, knowing I’m on the right path. You know? Sometimes when your dream movie dissolves before your eyes, it’s really the universe saying, β€˜Keep going, champ!’”

But the tea didn’t stop there. Danny gave us a peek into the grueling audition process: β€œHonestly, I got to do a chemistry read with Joaquin freaking Phoenixβ€”you know how validating that was? There was this one moment, right there in the audition, where I thought, β€˜This is it. I’ve arrived as a performer. I am unstoppable!’”

And then, boom. Unstoppable or not, the brakes hit hard. The movie got canceled faster than plans with flaky friends, leaving Danny to pick up the piecesβ€”on the red carpet, no less.

So, while we won’t be seeing Danny and Joaquin’s steamy, vintage romance hit the silver screen anytime soon, at least we got some primo red carpet moments. And if this gala appearance is any indication, Danny’s still ready to slay, even if his big romance project was ghosted harder than an ex on Tinder.

Who needs a 1930s Mexican love story anyway, right? Apparently, Joaquin.
