Lindsay Lohan and Kit Harington promoted their new series “Count My Lies” at Disney Upfronts.
“Extra’s” Tommy DiDario spoke with the two, who have been shooting the series all over NYC.
Lindsay shared, “Well, we're in the middle of it right now, so we can't tell you much... But it's great.”
Kit chimed in, “It's really great. It's the weird thing about doing this stuff. Like, I mean, we were in the middle of it… This is the first bit of press that we'll be doing. So, I have no idea how to sell the show other than it's a really fun sort of twisty domestic thriller.”
On the series, Lindsay and Kit play a married couple, and they spoke about building their rapport.
Lindsay said, “A lot of our time on set when the cameras aren't rolling [is] texting with our spouses and kids and showing videos of children.”
Lindsay opened up about balancing work and motherhood, saying, “I think you find a good mix in time and especially, like, when you have that kind of relationship with your partner, you guys kind of work it out and you go with the flow and it all kind of falls into place.”
Kit agreed, saying, “Yeah. I'm sort of recently sort of moved into, like, dad roles… I mean, it's natural, isn't it? You're kind of dad off-camera, and then you come and be a dad on-camera. But I find it odd. You go from being proper dad to fake dad… and trying to find, like, where they mix and you're like, ‘But I'm not me, but I am me,' but it's odd. It can be a bit discombobulating.”
Both love being in NYC. Lindsay shared, “Yeah, I miss New York. It's nice. It's nice to be filming here… I film in L.A. a lot. I like filming in New York. It's nice.”
When asked if she could ever live in NYC, Lohan answered, “I'm always here half the time anyway. My whole family's here, so I have to be here.”
Kit commented, “No, I was here five years ago doing something that [my wife] Rose [Leslie] was doing, but no, not really. This it's really nice to be in and staying in Brooklyn this time, which is lovely.
When asked if his "Count My Lies" character is anything like his iconic "Game of Thrones" character Jon Snow, Kit said there are "very few similarities," adding, "About as far from that character as you can get, I think."
Lohan talked about being in a series properly for the first time, saying, “I mean, this is my first real scripted series that I'm playing a full role in. I've done, like, bits... here and there, so it's new for me in a lot of ways, I think, because it's refreshing."
She added, "The role for me is different, and that's really important to me. I always get kind of type cast into these romcoms and that kind of role. And it's important for me creatively to play other roles and try new characters and push myself, and this is one of those for me. So, I'm really excited for it.”
