Overview
- Jama confirms she will appear in Netflix’s The Gentlemen season two alongside Theo James, Kaya Scodelario and Ray Winstone in the Ritchie-created series.
- She describes working with Guy Ritchie as being in the “presence of greatness,” calling him kind, hands-on and a “genius to watch.”
- Jama says she did a proper audition and learned she had the role about a week and a half later, with the size of the part initially undecided as scripts evolved.
- Filming included stays on Ritchie’s estate, where she found her first day “overwhelming” with all the leads present and encountered Ritchie’s on-set improvisation and rewrites.
- The presenter notes this is her first multi-day, line-driven screen role after a prior cameo in The Duchess and recalls previously abandoning acting ambitions after narrowly missing out on Skins.
