After spending almost their entire, recent professional lives together filming on the sets and various locations of "Chicago P.D.," Soffer and Flueger could be excused for wanting to get away from each other during down time away from the show. But if their social media feeds are anything to go by, the two actors appear to enjoy each other's company enough to hang out together on a regular basis in the non-"CPD" world.
For instance, one of Flueger's Instagram posts from 2019 finds the two of them riding a ski lift high above the slopes in Breckinridge, Colorado. Another of Flueger's Instagram shots catches Flueger, Soffer, and co-star LaRoyce Hawkins all breaking character on the set of the show back in 2016. Yet another of his Insta-posts sees Flueger, Soffer, and "Chicago P.D." co-star Torrey DeVitto on a visit to France where the trio is enjoying the regal panorama of the grounds at the Palace of Versailles.
And if there's any doubt remaining about whether Jesse Lee Soffer and Patrick John Flueger are friends in real life, that uncertainty should be dispelled by Soffer's hilarious Instagram shot of the two actors breaking character big time in the "Chicago P.D." interrogation room, accompanied by the hashtag #RuStead.
