Maya Jama marked the success of "The Gentlemen" by sharing behind-the-scenes photos from the set on Instagram. The crime drama, which features Jama in her acting debut as Aisha, has reached the number one spot on Netflix.
Maya Jama shared glimpses of the filming process with her co-stars, including Kaya Scodelario, Joely Richardson, Ruby Sear, and Vinnie Jones. She posted a message on Instagram thanking her castmates for the experience, calling the series "top tier" and expressing her enjoyment of every moment. "BTS pics from The Gentlemen. Had the best time with these beautiful humans & thank you all for your cute words! Top tier series. Loved every second. Number 1 on Netflix now✨," she wrote.
Jama, 32, made her acting debut in season two of the series. She has been active in promoting the show, recently appearing stylishly dressed for the premiere of Guy Ritchie's crime drama. For the premiere, she wore a custom leather gown.
In the series, Jama's character Aisha is introduced early in the first episode. Aisha is described as a "clever girl who looks after herself and others." She moves to the Middle East for work, gains access to a royal circle, and later introduces Eddie Horniman and Susie to Prince Amir as a potential business connection.
During promotions for the show, Jama reflected on the meaning of the word "gentleman." She suggested it has evolved from traditional notions of politeness to encompass a decent, well-mannered man who manages his life, treats people well, and often wears a suit.
Maya Jama previously dated Manchester City player Ruben, with whom she split in May after 18 months. The couple reportedly ended their relationship due to busy careers and the relationship having "run its course."
