"Bridgerton" star endures cast-iron challenge after on‑set injury

The first part of the third season of "Bridgerton" is already being passionately watched by Netflix viewers. The word "passionately" is used for a reason: intimate scenes between characters in this popular romance adaptation stir up a lot of emotions. We've previously written about the latest available episode being exceptionally spicy, and the scene in the carriage will surely go down in history. Moreover, Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope, 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, was a guest on Stephen Colbert's show. There, she revealed a certain secret.

Claudia is extremely lively and extroverted, as 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 show, 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, which restricted such expressive movements. The acrobatics 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. Although filming didn't stop, the challenge remained 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! To clarify, 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 loose approach to historical context and event credibility. So, who can be surprised by a muff in the summer? Did you notice that?
