Édgar Ramirez, Sebastian Stan and the Great Tank Debate

To tank or to not tank? That was the query at Loewe’s sun-soaked show Saturday.

“We’re in Paris, essentially the most beautiful city on the planet, so I’m feeling very inspired. It’s hot, and I’ve got a bit tank top on and I’m feeling good,” said “Dr. Who” star Ncuti Gatwa of hitting up Jonathan Anderson’s latest collection.

Édgar Ramirez was within the pro-tank top category, sporting a fitted black Loewe-logoed version while chatting with Sebastian Stan. The latter was firmly within the “no tank” category, shrugging on the lightweight overshirt that kept his arms demurely covered. “No tank tops for me,” he exclaimed, shooting off finger guns to emphasise his point.

Brian Cox answered in his own, understated way. “I’m wearing something blue,” he joked of categorizing his vibrant poplin button-down shirt.

The “Succession” star seemed nonchalant in regards to the beloved series being over. “It needed to end and I feel that was pretty much as good an ending as one could have hoped for,” he said. “[Creator] Jesse [Armstrong] wouldn’t let it go past its sell-by date. That’s the British technique to do it. The Americans are inclined to go, ‘Let’s just do another’ since it’s money.”

The veteran thespian is taking the summer off before returning to the stage within the U.K. in the autumn, partially on account of the writers’ strike within the U.S., which has put his film projects on hold. He will probably be starring in “The Rating” as Johann Sebastian Bach for a monthlong run in Bath, then will tackle “A Long Day’s Journey Into Night” in London’s West End.

The writers’ strike has also held up “White Lotus” star Theo James’ next project, which was set to be “The Monkey,” based on a brief story by Stephen King. The supernatural story will probably be directed by Osgood Perkins when it gets off the bottom.

“I’ve all the time desired to do elevated horror. I’ve been in search of years actually, then this sort of popped up and it was all the correct pieces,” he said. Perkins’ “really great horror pedigree” is what sold him on the project.

“It’s really type of bloody, but it surely’s also quite humorous and intelligent,” he added. That film stays hanging within the balance until the top of the strike within the U.S., but he just wrapped the Netflix show “The Gentlemen” within the U.K. The series is directed by Guy Ritchie.

“You understand, ‘You’ve been Ritchied’ is the phrase,” he joked. “And I’ve been Ritchied. He’s intense. However it’s good and really funny material.”

Ramirez, who has about eight projects within the works, is taking some day without work to enjoy life in Paris after filming a recent musical comedy helmed by “Sisters Brothers” director Jacques Audiard. The film costars Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana.

“It’s a musical comedy, so it’s a really interesting and crazy movie,” he said. “I’m the one which sings the least and dances the least because I’m not a singer and I’m not a dancer, but there I take risks.”

He’s more apt to take risks on-screen, relatively than sartorial, despite the tank top. “I just try to seek out myself in fashion,” he said. “The explanation I like fashion is because I like design, because I like history, in the identical way that I like architecture, theater, cinema.”
