Mary and Ewan can be seen on the Paramount+ on Showtime series based on Amor Towles’ 2016 novel as they revealed that it was Ewan’s idea for them to work together on screen again.
The actress said: ‘Ewan was reading the novel and he started slyly mentioning to me, in very subtle ways, that there was a great female character in the book.
