Maya Jama shared behind-the-scenes photos from the set of "The Gentlemen" on Instagram, celebrating the show's ascent to the number one position on Netflix. The presenter, 32, who made her acting debut as Aisha in the series' second season, posted images with her co-stars, including Kaya Scodelario, Joely Richardson, Ruby Sear, and Vinnie Jones.
Jama expressed her enjoyment of the filming experience, describing it as "top tier" and thanking her castmates for their camaraderie. "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 on social media.
The actress adopted a countryside chic look for some of the behind-the-scenes photos, wearing a tweed jacket and knee-high leather boots. She also shared a photo with Vinnie Jones. During the show's promotion, Jama reflected on the meaning of being a "gentleman," defining it as a "decent, well-mannered man that has their stuff under control, but knows how to treat a woman and their family and everybody in their life. And wears a nice suit most of the time."
Jama's character, Aisha, is introduced early in the first episode of "The Gentlemen" as an acquaintance of Susie. Aisha is described as a "clever girl who looks after herself and others" and has connections within the royal circle, meeting Prince Amir. She facilitates an introduction between Eddie Horniman and the Prince, suggesting him as a potential business contact.
The actress attended the premiere for Guy Ritchie's crime drama in a custom leather gown. Jama previously dated Manchester City player Ruben, with the couple reportedly splitting in May after 18 months together.
