Bridgerton stars Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha revealed a surprising detail about preparing for an intimate scene in the upcoming fourth season of the popular Netflix series.
The actors, who portray Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek respectively, shared that they both experienced illness while filming the scene featured in the first episode, set to premiere on January 29.
“What actually happened was that we both got sick,” Thompson explained. “But different things! We just kept getting sick!”
Ha added that their simultaneous illnesses may have reflected a state of vulnerability. “I think it showed that we were a little bit mentally fragile, a little bit nervous, and our immune systems were down,” she said.
“But seriously,” the 27-year-old continued, “I think these scenes are just an extension of the emotion, and they’re there because they’re meant to be there, not just because we’re doing a hot scene for the sake of doing a hot scene.”
The revelation offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the production of Bridgerton, a series known for its lavish sets and dramatic storylines. The show’s continued success demonstrates the enduring appeal of period dramas and the growing demand for streaming content.
