MORE OHANA

-

Besides the silky sexy tropical backdrop of Hawaii and garage after garage full of gleaming new Ferraris on the screen, there is something else that’s made this reboot such a hit: the spirit of togetherne­ss… known as “ohana” in Hawaiian culture.

“There’s a bit of escapism, we are out in Hawaii and we have these amazing locations and a wonderful car. The Ferrari is kind of like a character itself,” says Jay. “Now four seasons in, audiences have come to bond with these characters and to an extent,

I feel like the audience thinks we’re part of their family.” And the characters’ camaraderi­e adds to the feel-good vibe. “It’s about this group of friends who really get on well. There’s no fighting, there’s no arguing – everything comes together and we have a great time onscreen and off. We have ohana,” says Jay.
