I can't stop thinking about how whenever Max and Daniel are asked about the other in interviews, the attributes they highlight are often the opposite of how they portray themselves.
Starting with Max: he has said on multiple occasions that what he likes most about Daniel is that he's always laughing and bringing joy and fun to everything he does. While we know that Max likes to have fun and goof around, it's not his thing to be a beam of sunlight all the time; that's just not his persona. Yet, that's what he appreciates most about Daniel, and he has no problem letting us know interview after interview.
Daniel, on the other hand, has mentioned more than once that what he likes most about Max is his candidness, how genuine and himself he is. "Max is Max" sums up what Daniel admires about him. In the end, what Daniel appreciates most about Max is his lack of performativeness. Meanwhile, Daniel is as theatrical and histrionic as it gets; that's what he's known for (I'm not saying he is disingenuous, but it's a very different way of presenting himself to the world than Max).
To top it all off, they both know they have chemistry together, and they bounce really well off each other. At first glance, these two shouldn't work together as well as they do or even like each other as much as they do, and yet, here they are.
Opposites and all of that.
