You never know what happens on movie or television sets. Though we are always going to believe that everyone gets along and that there are no issues. We imagine all of our ships being the best of friends off the screen, and that’s what leads to such amazing chemistry on the screen. One show that we do that with is Maxton Hall.
If you’ve not followed the show, the official synopsis reads as, “Those who fly high can also fall low…After their passionate night together in Oxford and her greatest life goal within reach, everything seems to be going perfectly for Ruby (Harriet Herbig-Matten). But a stroke of fate in James’ (Damian Hardung) family changes everything and James himself, of all people, brings her back from cloud nine to a harsh reality. Ruby is devastated. She has never had such strong feelings for anyone as she does for James – and she has never been so hurt by anyone either. She wants her old life back, where no one at Maxton Hall knew her and she wasn’t part of the elitist world of her classmates. But she can’t forget James – especially since he’s doing everything he can to win her back.”
Damian Hardung and Harriet Herbig-Matten star in the Prime Video series. Hardung was recently on the Zach Sang Show and spoke about their relationship.
“Well, on set in scene, one of us is usually crying, right? Promo stuff, usually we’re both having a smile,” Hardung said. “So, I think we’re having a much better time than the characters on set. I think that really translated to us when we were on set, there were all these days, like as in the bedroom scene, where we literally wouldn’t talk for the whole day. And then that just be it, the only connection we had in that scene.”
He then continued by saying, “I think that really helped us to transport it, and because even like the distance needs the chemistry, right? So even if we’re not in the same scene, the driving force is still, you know, like the very few human emotions, like still, that longing for love right there. And so that really informs the characters’ decisions even if they’re not together, and I think it’s still based on the chemistry.”
