Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor reveals that an intimacy coordinator helped plan sex scenes

Phoebe Dynevor revealed that an intimacy coordinator helped plan her ‘great’ sex scenes in Bridgerton.

The 25-year-old actress, who plays the main role of Daphne, explained how the ‘first scene’ she filmed for the Netflix show was with the hot actress Regé-Jean Page.

Although it was released only on Christmas Day, the daring period drama has already been successful with viewers for its impressive setting and spicy content.

Speaking to Grazia about her sex scenes, Phoebe said, ‘My first scene was in episode six, where Simon is falling in love with Daphne.

“And it was so good, because I felt safe and fun: you choreographed it like an acrobatics or a dance. It’s crazy to me that [an intimacy coordinator] has not been there in the past.

“I’ve done sex scenes before and I can’t believe I did it: it was only five or six years ago, but it wouldn’t be allowed now.”

Phoebe added: ‘I love her [Daphne’s] history of adulthood and sexual awakening. I love to see their feminine look and see her discover for herself. She started late, but it’s not like she could search Google.

Daphne, the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family, is presented as ‘perfectly beautiful’ and is referred to as ‘impeccable’ when she meets Queen Charlotte, played by Golda Rosheuvel.

The program shows its debut in Regency London’s competitive wedding market – where Regé-Jean’s character, Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, is the attraction of the season.

Despite proclaiming that they want nothing the other has to offer, the attraction between Simon and Daphne is undeniable and sparks fly as they find themselves in an intelligence battle as they navigate society’s expectations for their future.

Phoebe he credits an excellent make-up artist and good lighting for having conducted her during a seven-month photo shoot, usually with sessions six days a week and at night.

However, sometimes the pressure took its toll, with Phoebe revealing that she had a ‘total panic attack’ during one scene.

She said, ‘There is a scene in an episode where Daphne comes down the stairs and everyone is looking at her.

‘That was one of the most difficult scenes to shoot. Everyone has days when they wake up and feel like pooping and don’t want to see anyone, let alone being on camera.

‘It turns out that I was having one of those days, and I felt so out of my comfort zone. Basically, I had a total panic attack.

Phoebe has been acting for more than a decade with roles on Waterloo Road and opposite Guy Ritchie’s Snatch TV adaptation – “it was a bit like a boys club,” she says.

She also appeared in the creation of Darren Star, Younger. However, Bridgerton is his biggest role so far.

Discussing the possibility of now being identified by millions of Netflix viewers, Phoebe said she is prepared, but not necessarily enthusiastic.

“There is a potential threat to fame,” she says, after consideration. – I don’t like the idea. But I am very proud of what Bridgerton stands for. I couldn’t think of anything else that I would like people to know about me.

Fortunately, she has a solid model on her mother, actress Sally Dynevor. Having played Sally Metcalfe on Coronation Street since 1986, it has been broadcast to the homes of millions of people, three nights a week, for almost 35 years.

When asked if she understood her mother’s fame, Phoebe said, ‘It was just my mother. She always took it easy and was very cold, grateful and humble. Gratitude is the most important thing. ‘

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror before the release of Bridgerton, Sally shared her enthusiasm for seeing her daughter on the streaming giant’s website.

She said, ‘I just want to say that I am very proud of Phoebe and as a family, we are very excited to see Bridgerton on Christmas Day.’
