Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor talks hilariously about his ‘tight neck performance’

Phoebe Dynevor spoke hilariously about her ‘acting with a tight neck’ in her hit Netflix series, Bridgerton.

The 25-year-old actress, who plays debutant Daphne in the period series, admitted that she was only aware of her body movements after her younger sister Harriet, 17, pointed this out.

Phoebe admitted that there was a lot of ‘tense neck action’ due to the corset suits and the need to express her character Daphne’s ‘anxiety’.

Speaking to French digital magazine L’Officiel, the actress, whose mother is Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor, said her younger sister, Harriet, warned her that people were talking about her ‘acting in the neck ‘online.

Phoebe said, “I didn’t even know I was doing this, but I think with the corset – and my need to express Daphne’s anxiety – there was a kind of tension in the neck.”

She added: ‘It was about showing two different emotions and not making her feel like that kind of Disney princess – that everything is great, because she is scared and vulnerable behind all that wide-eyed naivete.’

Phoebe and her co-star Regé-Jean Page, who portrays her on-screen love interest Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, have achieved fame since Bridgerton debuted on Netflix on Christmas Day.

Speaking more during the interview, the actress admitted that both she and Regé-Jean knew that the show was going to be big and there was ‘pressure’.

She said: ‘We had a similar background, a similar work history. In fact, we were on the same level. We knew it would do the same for both of us. And there was pressure behind it and we were both nervous. ‘

Several fans praised Phoebe’s interpretation of Daphne and her ‘powerful’ neck acting on Twitter, comparing him to Keira Knightley, who played several dramatic roles during his career.

One person said, ‘Daphne Bridgerton also has a powerful neck at work.’

A different fan added: ‘Keira Knightley better watch out, Daphne Bridgerton is coming for her neck.’

While another follower added, ‘Phoebe Dynevors Oscar Worthy Neck performing at Bridgerton.’

The interview comes after Phoebe admits it would have been “very complicated” if she had dated her boyfriend, Regé-Jean, by Bridgerton.

The chemistry between the co-stars fueled real-life romance speculation, but the actress insists that things have always been “strictly professional”.

And while ‘happy’ that she didn’t have to complicate things while filming the Netflix series, Phoebe admitted that she is ‘intrigued’ by the idea of ​​a relationship on set.

She told You magazine: ‘I would love to say that there was really something between us [Regé-Jean]. But no, it was always strictly professional.

‘There was so much pressure on us to get it right that it was all about the job. We have a very professional working relationship. I’m happy for that, actually. It would be very complicated if it went further. ‘

The actress added that she is ‘intrigued’ by the idea of ​​finding love on set. She said, ‘I always hear about people who fall in love with their castmates. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but I’m intrigued.

On the show, Phoebe’s Daphne and the character of Regé-Jean Simon try to deceive society into thinking they are in love before they really develop feelings for each other.

The double star in a series of spicy scenes, which led many viewers to believe that there could be something between them off camera.

And while they were shy about romance rumors, Phoebe has now admitted that she has reached a point where she thinks she needs to end them.

She told You magazine: ‘People really root for us. We have to say that we are actors, we are doing a job, there is something to be said to not spoil the magic … but at some point you have to say ‘no’. ‘
