Bridgerton’s Sensational Scene Goes Beyond Expectations
The latest season of Netflix’s Bridgerton has created quite a stir, especially with a nearly six-minute-long sex scene between Penelope Featherington, played by Nicola Coughlan, and Colin Bridgerton, portrayed by Luke Newton. The scene has been one of the most talked-about moments of the season, not only for its intensity but also for an unexpected incident.
Behind the Sensual Moments
In an interview with BuzzFeed UK, the actors revealed some intriguing details about the scene. It’s not a bed
, Nicola teased when asked which piece of furniture was broken. Someone [previously guessed] candlestick. I [was] like, ‘What do you think we’re doing?’ I would say it’s like a piece of furniture you would more see in the past than in the present
.
Pushing Boundaries
The showrunners gave both actors significant creative freedom during these intimate scenes, allowing them to influence how everything played out. Coughlan shared: Yeah, we did break it during a sexy scene because we were really going for it. We thought, ‘This was so hot.’
Navigating Body Positivity and Empowerment
One of the standout aspects was Nicola Coughlan’s decision to appear fully nude in one particular scene. She explained that this decision was her way of confronting body-shamers head-on: There is one scene where I am very naked on camera and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘f**k you’ to all the conversations surrounding my body, it was amazingly empowering.
The Craft Behind the Scenes
The pair opened up about how they approached these scenes with a mix of fear and excitement. Nicola mentioned that at times they got so immersed in their roles that they didn’t even hear when the director called cut.
A Scene to Remember
The almost six-minute scene between Penelope and Colin was not only crucial for advancing their characters’ relationship but also highlighted the show’s commitment to authentic storytelling. The combination of careful choreography and spontaneous action made this one of the most memorable sequences in the series.
