We love Bridgerton for many reasons: the gossip and drama, the quality of production, consumption. But we also can’t forget those unforgettable sex scenes, which Meghan O’Keefe suggested at Decider as the “busiest bodice-ripping sex scenes this side of Outlander.”And thanks to a new interview with Grazia with series star Phoebe Dynevor, all ET Canada, we got a little behind-the-scenes knowledge of the hardest parts of the show.
The secret to getting these sex scenes right in a ballroom dance, Dynevor explained, told the magazine that they were planned out “as a stunt, or dance” with the help of co-workers. a close liaison manager, who helped make the racy moments feel “safe and fun. ”The Bridgerton The star of her first sex scene, “where Simon is down on Daphne,” said “so good.”
“It’s crazy to me that that didn’t exist before,” Dynevor said, referring to the close-knit coordinator in place. “I’ve done sex scenes before that I can’t believe I did: it was only five or six years ago, but it wouldn’t be allowed now.”
In an interview with Decider earlier this month, Bridgerton Creator Chris Van Dusen also praised the show’s “amazing close-up coordinator” for helping remove the sex scenes. “It was about comforting our actors and making sure they felt comfortable, and they were just doing and taking things as long as they wanted to take them,” Van Dusen said.
Jonathan Bailey, who stars as Anthony Bridgerton, said it was important for him to work on a series where everyone feels empowered, especially the women who are set. “It was a really good life experience, knowing that you have to take down the types and bring one to the team,” he told Decider, adding, “It’s really important. showing sexuality in everyone. And I think women, just as much as men, want sex; and they want it in a way that they get. “
