Despite their differences in social status, Whitman and Amell’s characters in the film (spoiler alert!)
fall for each other, and the actors' chemistry was key to the film’s success.
“I was actually super nervous to chemistry read with Mae,” Amell toldHollywood Life.
“I was intimidated.
She’s done so much work with so many unbelievable people.
I figured if I could make her laugh I’ve got a shot.
I told her a really inappropriate, alternate joke and got her to crack up.
From that point on we’ve just been really good friends.”
From there, the two were able to take that energy and translate it into the film.
Hopefully this means a “DUFF” reunion is coming sooner rather than later!
