The Key To Chemistry Like Bridgerton’s? PRACTICE!
If you’ve been watching the new sexy Netflix period piece Bridgerton, you may be wondering how the lead couple were able to pull off A+ chemistry in so many sexy scenes – they must be together in real life, right??
After being asked time and time again if he and co-star Phoebe Dynevor were a real-life couple, Regé-Jean Page said, “All the sparks that flew off of the beautiful scripts that we were handed, and so I think that the sparky scripted material are more than enough.”
So, how did they make the good good look real good? Just plain practice.
Dynevor previously told BAZAAR.com that when it came to creating the allure of on-screen intimacy between her and Page, it was all credited to weeks of rehearsal, the help of an intimacy coordinator, and merely getting to know the other.
“We had so much time to get to know each other. We did a lot of rehearsing. I think the thing that actually really helped the chemistry was all the dance rehearsals, because we just spent so much time with our choreographer, Jack Murphy, and loads of time in the studio—just me, Regé, and Jack sort of getting the moves right and dancing and dancing to this modern, fun music. And we just got time to play and sort of form a connection. I think that was so beneficial actually in getting the chemistry right,” Dynevor told BAZAAR.
“And then, we have an intimacy coordinator,” she continued. “So, we blocked and rehearsed all the intimacy scenes weeks and weeks before we started to do things. By the time we got to set, we knew what we were doing. We felt really comfortable. We knew each other, we’d already formed that relationship. We were very lucky to have all that time.”
So – if you want to have Bridgerton level hotness between the sheets with your OBC hookup, ya gonna have to do it again, and again, and again! As they say, practice makes perfect!
