Marvel star Danny Ramirez is certainly turning heads, and not just for his superhero chops. Fresh off her divorce, Jessica Alba has reportedly struck up a romance with the actor.
On 13th July, Danny and Jessica were spotted boarding a flight from Cancun to Los Angeles, seemingly trying to keep a low profile in sunglasses and baseball caps. Although the couple’s appearance wasn't exactly PDA-filled, insiders said they were very much travelling as a pair and seemed ‘comfortable’ around each other.
It comes just months after Jessica was spotted strolling around London’s Regent Park with a mystery man – a man who many now believe was Danny, who was in the city at the time. The pair were seen in May holding hands as they strolled the grounds, with onlookers describing the date as being ‘very intimate.’
So, who exactly is Danny Ramirez? And is he really dating Jessica Alba? Here’s everything you need to know about the Hollywood star.
Who is Danny Ramirez?
Danny Ramirez is an actor best known for his role in the Marvel universe as Falcon. Born on September 17th, 1992, he's currently 32 years old (and a loyal and reliable Virgo.)
He’s recently sparked dating rumours with Jessica Alba – who filed for divorce from her ex Cash Warren in February, after nearly 17 years together.
Where is Danny Ramirez from?
Danny was born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Mexican mother and a Colombian father. At seven, he moved to Miami with his family.
Having originally aspired to be a professional football player, Danny pivoted to acting after injuries sidelined his athletic dreams. He went on to attend NYU’s prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, where the likes of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, and Adam Sandler also studied.
What movies has Danny Ramirez been in?

Can Danny Ramirez fly a plane?
In 2022, Danny received critical acclaim for portraying Lt. Mickey ‘Fanboy’ Garcia in Top Gun: Maverick - a film where the cast famously learnt to fly planes. Starring alongside Tom Cruise, Danny said, 'I couldn't stop smiling, it was a dream. He was not only Maverick for us, he was a coach.'
But landing the role didn't come without some white lies. When he got the job, Danny was made to sign a waiver saying he would do his flight training - despite the fact he had a fear of flying. 'It was too big of an audition not to lie,' he laughed. 'If I took a commercial flight, I'd have to take a couple of wines, my Bose headphones, the Calm app, and then just meditate my way through this.
'Tom created this flight school so meticulously [that] by the end of my time, I was just obsessed. It dispelled that fear for me.'
