The Belfast native admitted that over the course of the three years, he and Dakota have become more comfortable with each other.
“[Now] it’s been three years, [and] Dakota and I are very close,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
“We’ve got a great sort of love and respect for each other.
“We’re great friends and I think that makes it easier, you know? So it’s definitely more comfortable.”
Dakota also opened up about her relationship with Jamie and gushed about her co-star.
“It never gets [easy], but because we’ve become so close it was a lot easier to make [the scenes] special,” she revealed.
