Alexander Dreymon shares a behind-the-scenes post complete with a heart

On May 31, 2021, Dreymon shared a behind-the-scenes image that fans will surely want to see. In it, Dreymon can be seen on a screen. In the shot, Dreymon is dressed as Uhtred, complete with his sword on his back and his hair up. Behind him are other people in the shot who are out of focus, including Eliza Butterworth, who plays Lady Aelswith, and Stefanie Martini, who plays Eadith, as Dreymon tagged them in the post. Eliza wears a cloak, and Stefanie wears a black dress.

A chair can be seen off in the distance, and Dreymon’s hand, which is center stage, is touching another hand. It’s unclear if it’s his other hand or someone else’s. Dreymon smiles, and an image of a heart was added in the center of where the hands touch.
