“We really enjoy each other in life, on camera and off camera. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her as a person, but also as an artist,” White shared.

He said he hopes their real-life bond “shines through” in the show between their characters Carmy and Sydney.

He added, “Syd always able to … I don’t know, to deliver something different to Carmy, and she’s usually right. And I guess I think Ayo is also usually right.”

Edebiri echoed The Iron Claw star’s sentiments, saying, “Work can be a very intimate thing and a very personal thing and a very emotional thing. And I think when you’re also in industries that are creative or creative adjacent, I think there’s something that also invokes feelings of passion.”

She then jokingly praised White’s eyes, “Also, boy’s got some beautiful blue eyes. You know what I mean? Those are eyes you want to project onto.”
