      The ‘For the People’ actor talks about his role and intimate scenes on the new Netflix period drama series and how the show’s huge success left him apprehensive.

      Feb 6, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rege-Jean Page had no problems shooting his “Bridgerton” sex scenes with co-star Phoebe Dynevor thanks to the couple’s on-set intimacy co-ordinator.
      The consultant was on hand for every racy scene, making sure both Page and Dynevor were comfortable.
      “Everything is choreographed,” Rege-Jean tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton. “It takes the risk and the embarrassment out of the scene.” Although some of the star’s family tried to dodge his sex scenes, they took up so much screen time, it proved impossible.

      Asked if his relatives watched him making love to Phoebe, he said, “There were some cousins missing from the family WhatsApp group and they said, ‘We made our tactical cups of tea when you started and when we came back you were still going!’ ”
      Following the popularity of “Bridgerton”, Rege-Jean has been tipped to be the next James Bond but he refused to be drawn on any speculation, joking, “Bridgerton is the only ‘B’ word I am allowed to say. I am not going to talk about the other ‘B’ words!”
      Meanwhile, the actor joked the attention he’s received from the show has made him “scared” of who might approach him while the U.K. is in lockdown.
      He said, “It’s just me and the four walls and I don’t go to the front door because I am scared. You don’t know who’s going to be there. It’s the only thing that is real about the whole thing!”

      'Bridgerton' Star Nicola Coughlan in 'Trouble' After Watching Sex Scenes With Mom

      by

      Instagram

      The Penelope Featherington depicter on the Netflix hit series reveals that episode 6 is the most uncomfortable to watch with her mother because of the ‘non-stop sh**ging.’

      Feb 3, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Nicola Coughlan found it uneasy to watch “Bridgerton” with her mother. In a revealing new interview, the Penelope Featherington depicter on the Netflix hit series revealed that she was in “trouble” after she and her mother watched an episode filled with “sh**ging” scenes.
      The 34-year-old Irish star made the honest confession when speaking on the “Make It Reign” podcast. “I knew pretty well how the episodes went and the amount of sexiness in them,” she first spilled. “When I showed her the first episode and Johnny Bailey’s bum appeared very quickly into episode one, she was like, ‘what is going on!’ ”
      “And I have to be like, ‘It’s not my fault I didn’t write it, it’s romance novels and it’s a really important part of the story,’ but I was still in trouble,” she went on sharing. “Then with episode six I thought, ‘oh my God what am I going to do? It’s none stop sh**ging! I am going to be in so much trouble. I said, ‘sh**ging,’ on the Graham Norton show and I was dead.”
      Luckily, the Clare Devlin of “Derry Girls” managed to handle the awkwardness. “I was sweating when I watched it back,” she pointed out. “What I ended up doing was just fast-forwarding through all the sexy bits and at the end of the episode, she said, ‘That one was very short!’ ”

      During the chat, Nicola also confessed that she was worried whether the series would be a hit before it was released. “Before ‘Bridgerton’ came out, I knew it was coming out on the biggest streaming service in the world on Christmas Day but there was still a part of me that went, ‘Is anyone going to watch this and I need to get people to watch it,’ ” she recalled.
      “So on Christmas day, I was going no-one has watched it, no-one will watch this show,” she continued. “I just fully had a moment where I was like, ‘it’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine, I’ve dedicated a year and a half of my life to it and I know hundreds of people put in so many months of their life into it but it is fine, no-one will watch it,’ and I’ve just accepted that.”

      Despite Nicola’s fear, Netflix announced that “Briderton” is its most-watched series after it was viewed by a record 82 million households within 28 days.

      Nicola Coughlan Recalls Accidentally Stabbing 'Bridgerton' Co-Star on First Day of Shooting

      by

      Netflix

      Speaking to Kelly Clarkson on her daytime talk show, the actress playing Penelope Featherington in the Netflix hit drama shares her relief that Claudia Jessie remains her friend after the bloody incident.

      Feb 3, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Actress Nicola Coughlan will never forget her first day of filming on racy Netflix hit “Bridgerton” – because she was involved in a bloody stabbing.
      The “Derry Girls” star was really excited to score her role as Penelope Featherington in the TV drama, which is co-produced by TV mogul Shonda Rhimes, but nerves got the better of her when she arrived on set.
      “It was my first day,” she tells “Bridgerton” superfan Kelly Clarkson on her U.S. daytime talk show, “and it’s quite terrifying getting a big Shondaland/Netflix job. You think, ‘I just don’t want to screw this up’.”
      “They (wardrobe department officials) said to me, ‘You’re very tiny, let’s put you in heels,’ and I thought, ‘Yep, I’ll do anything you want me to do’.”
      But things didn’t go quite as the Irish funnywoman had planned and she quickly struggled with her “balance” in the scenes.

      “It became evident pretty quickly that with the corset and the heels, my balance was not so amazing so I was walking along and I fell three times,” she remembers.
      “The third time I was holding a parasol, which in the wrong hands is a deadly weapon. I fell forward and stabbed Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton, in the hand, and she just started bleeding. So unfortunately there was a stabbing on the first day, and I was guilty.”

      Luckily, there were no bad feelings between the pals.
      “It was not good. But she’s still my friend,” laughs Nicola.

      Phoebe Dynevor Calls 'Bridgerton' Masturbation Scene 'the Hardest Scene' to Film

      by

      Netflix

      The British actress recalls the hardest scene to film on the Netflix period drama series, saying it was a solo sex scene where she’s ‘told to have an orgasm.’

      Jan 28, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Bridgerton” star Phoebe Dynevor was “told to have an orgasm” during a solo sex scene on the show.
      In an interview with Glamour magazine, the actress, who plays lead character Daphne in the hugely popular Netflix period drama, opened up on the difficulties of filming a masturbation scene for the raunchy show, explaining “it was the hardest scene” to shoot, as she felt “very vulnerable” after filming other racy scenes with her co-star Rege-Jean Page.
      “You always feel safe. I’d rehearse with Rege so much that we both knew what we were doing. It felt very practical. But on my own, it’s a different thing,” she explained to Glamour. “The stage directions are very specific: You have to have an orgasm. It’s a difficult thing to rehearse, which means you don’t. You just do it.”

      However, Phoebe was thankful the production had hired an intimacy coordinator as it meant that she didn’t have to have awkward conversations about the sexual scenes with the show’s male director.
      The show explores the complicated relationship between Phoebe’s character and the eligible Duke of Hastings in intimate sexual detail.
      “I felt so safe in the knowledge that Lizzy was there, so that if something went wrong or the director wanted something different he could speak to her first,” she said. “I think it would have been a very difficult experience if Lizzy hadn’t been on set protecting me and looking after me. No one wants to be told how to orgasm by a man.”

      The actor whose character will be the main focus in the upcoming sophomore season teases the next installment will be ‘more exciting and convoluted and sexier.’

      Jan 23, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Jonathan Bailey has promised that “Bridgerton” is going to get “even sexier” in the upcoming second season.
      The British actor stars as Lord Anthony Bridgerton in the Netflix series, which has become the breakout hit of the year. It was announced on Thursday (21Jan21) that the programme is returning for a second run, which will focus largely on Bailey’s character, and he spoke to Entertainment Tonight about what he is expecting in season two.
      “It’s just going to get more exciting and convoluted and sexier, I think,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “(It will) be pushing boundaries every single way. (I know) that the story is going to be really exciting.”
      While Bailey didn’t say exactly when the next season will start shooting, he hinted that it will be soon, as he’s “starting to grow” the sideburns he needs for the role.

      He’s also been doing his best to stay in good shape, as the programme – which became known for its racy scenes – is likely to see him shed his clothes on more than a few occasions in the next series.
      “I’m actually doing a lot of paddleboarding at the moment and swimming in the sea because I live on the coast,” he smiled. “Part of the excitement for all of us (is) to really get fit and be able to enjoy the scenes.”
      Season 1 centered on the romance between Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke of Hastings Simon Bassett, respectively portrayed by Phoebe Dynevor and Rege-Jean Page. Season 2 is expected to revolve around Anthony Bridgerton in his quest for love.
      The series, narrated by Dame Julie Andrews as Lady Whistledown, is inspired by the book franchise of the same name by Julia Quinn. The upcoming season will be based on the 2000 novel, “The Viscount Who Loved Me”.

      Van Dusen wants to bring Dynevor and Page back for season two in some capacity although he’s not yet sure how much they will feature.
      Asked if they will return for another run, he told U.S. breakfast show “Today”, “I hope so. They are now, of course, the Duke and Duchess of Hastings, but in my mind they will always be Bridgertons and I think they will always be part of the show.”

      Phoebe Dynevor Grateful for 'Safe and Fun' Sex Scenes in 'Bridgerton'

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Waterloo Road’ actress thanks the producers behind her new Netflix series for ensuring the cast members always felt safe when filming the intimate scenes.

      Jan 2, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “Bridgerton” bosses recruited an intimacy co-ordinator to make sure the Netflix hit’s intimate scenes were racy and safe.
      Phoebe Dynevor and Rege-Jean Page steamed up the screen in the Christmas Day period drama and now the actress has revealed she worked with an expert behind the scenes to craft the “great” sex scenes.
      “My first-ever scene was in episode six, where Simon is going down on Daphne,” Dynevor tells Grazia, “and it was so great, because it felt safe and fun. You choreograph it like a stunt, or a dance. It’s crazy to me that (an intimacy co-ordinator) hasn’t been there in the past.”
      “I’ve done sex scenes before that I can’t believe I did. It was only five or six years ago, but it would not be allowed now.”

      And Phoebe admits she’s as much of a fan of “Bridgerton” as viewers. “I love her coming-of-age story and her sexual awakening,” she says. “I love… watching her figure it out for herself. She’s a late bloomer, but it’s not like she can Google it.”
      The new TV series is produced by Shonda Rhimes. It’s one of her projects for Netflix following her departure from ABC after working for the Alphabet for 15 years.
      “I felt like I was dying,” she said of der decision to find a new home for her craft. “Like I’d been pushing the same ball up the same hill in the exact same way for a really long time.”
      To the bosses at the streaming giant, she said, “The first thing I said was, ‘You’re not going to get another Grey’s Anatomy – not Grey’s Anatomy in a cornfield, Grey’s Anatomy on a baseball field or Grey’s Anatomy at an airport, that’s just not happening.’ And he said, ‘I’d never expect it to.’ ”
