Regé really wanted to do that kiss up against the statue, where Phoebe has her hands around his neck. So it’s really lovely that he is leading her this whole time out into the grounds, pulling her close up. He was really great in that scene because it’s Simon sort of leading Daphne through this sexual awakening. When they are kissing up against the statue outside and it starts to rain, we did a lot of work with Regé and Phoebe. Were there any Bridgerton sex scenes that the actors improvised or had a lot of input in? There was a bit of maneuvering there, but we had such a great sense of humor about it. Johnny’s trousers ripped at the back very unexpectedly. Were there any hiccups when shooting these sex scenes, even with all the rehearsal beforehand? So that added other challenges as well because it was like, “There’s a lot of expensive stuff in this room.” But I know there’ve been talks at Castle Howard of doing sort of a Bridgerton intimacy tour. We were working with all original, hand-painted wallpaper and original beds. I think most of them were content to just turn around and read a book. I’m sure they had a very interesting time. Every single time we were filming in the rooms there had to be…I don’t know if curator is the correct term, but someone from the castle who works there had to be in the room. The actors are working with such confidence.”Īll of the honeymoon scenes were filmed at Castle Howard, a gorgeous castle outside York and pretty iconic for series that have gone before. I remember being on set and saying, “Wow, this is really impressive that this is happening so early on. And it’s far down in the story too-it’s not an early scene. In fact, I think Phoebe’s first scene was in the library, up that ladder. Practicalities like that could be quite complicated, particularly working at heights. Some of the hardest scenes-and all credit to Phoebe here-are the solo scenes because she didn’t have a partner to bounce off of.Īre there any scenes you look back on and think, Wow, I can’t believe we got to do that? And if you’re working with any sensitive material, it can be quite emotionally exhausting. How hard can that be?” Any actor that’s done it will tell you that working in this way is physically exhausting. I know there were a lot of people being quite dismissive of this work at the beginning, like, “Oh, it’s just simulating sex. ![]() Yeah, we’re very clear about the fact that it’s like doing a stunt. Some of these scenes require real athleticism from the cast. A lot of the time we were just having so much fun. ![]() At one point we got called out by production, like, “Are you still rehearsing?” We’d been laughing for the last 15 minutes about something Johnny had said. And Sabrina and Johnny, they’re such close friends. Regé and Phoebe both have a wicked sense of humor, so that was absolutely wonderful. You rehearsed with the cast weeks before shooting. We wanted to see something that wasn’t just penetrative sex. There wasn’t going to be much holding back when it came to female pleasure. It’s the sexual awakening and sexual education journey of Daphne, which was certainly not something that we had seen before in this magnitude. ![]() Lizzy Talbot: One of the aspects of Bridgerton they were very clear about is that this was going to be from the female gaze.
