The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story‘s Penelope Cruz and Edgar Ramirez pose together on Town and Country magazine’s March 2018 issue, on newsstands February 6.
Here’s what they had to share with the mag:
Penelope on Donatella Versace: “To me she [Donatella Versace] is like a heroine. She has demonstrated in so many ways in her life how to be an incredible woman.”
Edgar on his admiration for Gianni Versace: “He [Gianni Versace] was a visionary and a disrupter, and we’re experiencing an era that he helped create aesthetically. There were no designers expressing that rock ‘n’ roll approach to couture before Gianni – this mix of sexuality and celebrity. The current obsession with fame started with Gianni.”
Penelope on her connection to the Versace siblings: “I could relate to that family emotion. Italian and Spanish people are very similar in that way. It’s like what I have with my brother and sister. Donatella, Santo, Gianni, what they had together they started together, and that family passion is very tight.”
Edgar Ramirez stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (January 17) and talked about how American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace exposes homophobia in the U.S. that allowed five murders to go unchecked just 20 years ago.
“Ryan has an amazing talent to identify stories that are both dramatically gripping and at the same time they’re socially and culturally relevant,” the 40-year-old actor told Jimmy. “It’s that combination that makes the anthology of American Crime Story so interesting.”
“The underlining theme of our show is homophobia. We tend to think that in the ’90s that our world was just like the world today and actually it was very different,” Edgar explained. “When you look into this investigation, the element that comes back into the surface constantly is the don’t ask, don’t tell element. This kind of invisibility and this denial of sexuality, denial of existence of a gay world out there. This guy, Andrew Cunanan, he was on national TV for several weeks, he was on the FBI’s most wanted list and for whatever reason it was very hard for the authorities to catch him. Basically, he was killing gay man and didn’t represent a public threat to the authorities at the time. To think that it was only 20 years ago is shocking and frightening because history tends to repeat itself. It’s important to revisit.”
“He murdered five people and then when he murdered the famous one, the last one Gianni, people started to pay attention. That’s basically what drives the whole series and the show and we couldn’t be more proud to revisit history in this way,” Edgar concluded.
