Claudia Jessie's hidden injury: How "Bridgerton" concealed the cast
Only now, as the first part of the new season of Bridgerton is triumphing on the platform, has one of the stars admitted to an injury on set. A broken wrist required wearing a cast, something unheard of in the Regency era. So, how did they hide it?
The first part of the third season of "Bridgerton" is already passionately watched by Netflix viewers. The word "passionately" is used here for a reason: scenes of intimacy between the characters of this popular romance adaptation stir up many emotions. We already wrote about the last available episode being exceptionally spicy, with the scene in the carriage surely going down in history. Moreover, Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope, has announced that there will be even more nudity.
Meanwhile, events promoting the Netflix series are ongoing. Themed balls and picnics are being organized in various places around the world, and stars of the series are giving interviews. Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton in the series, was a guest on Stephen Colbert's show, where she revealed a particular secret.
Injury on the set of "Bridgerton"
Claudia is an energetic and extroverted person. You can see for yourself by watching our video interview above. One burst of joy, however, cost her an injury. As she revealed on Colbert's talk show sofa, at one point on the set, she wanted to toss her leg forward in joy triumphantly. Unfortunately, Claudia must have forgotten that she was wearing a period gown, in which ladies did not express their emotions so expressively. The entire acrobatic move ended with a fall and a painful injury: the actress broke her wrist.
The incapacity of one of the stars is always the biggest nightmare for a production. Filming didn't stop, but the challenge was to hide the cast on her arm. When you watch some scenes of this season, you will see how cleverly Eloise is shown. When it was necessary to show both of her hands, she wore... a muff! Remember, a muff is a type of tunnel made of fur or warm material, protecting hands from the cold. Although the events in "Bridgerton" take place in the summer, the series' creators are known for their very loose approach to historical context and event credibility. Who can be surprised by a muff in the summer? Did you notice that?
