This must top any rating of actors’ steals.

Summary:

  • Bridgerton is a Netflix romantic period drama adapted from Julia Quinn's novel series of the same name.
  • Season 2 of the show focused on Anthony Bridgerton, portrayed by Jonathan Bailey.
  • The actor admitted that after filming one of the most embarrassing scenes he has ever left the set, he forgot to take off the modesty thong.

It's no secret that almost every actor tries to smuggle something out of the sets of the productions they work on. Though it's much easier for movie actors than for those involved in long-running TV series, it's not uncommon for a prop or costume to come in a few copies so that one can travel to the actor's home.

While Bridgerton's costume department isn't likely to give away the lavish Regency dresses for free, there is still a chance to get something small as a souvenir. Whether it is a pocket watch, a piece of jewelry, or a piece of art that just touches your soul, the possibilities are endless.

Season 2 star Jonathan Bailey was much more creative with his choices. Though his sweep was very random, he may be the only actor to keep something so intimate from any set.

One thing about Bridgerton is that the show never misses a chance for a hot scene. Throughout both seasons, viewers have been completely excited by the tension portrayed by the romantic leads.

Because such scenes require not only a lot of choreography, but also a completely comfortable environment, all of the actors have access to modesty garments to cover themselves in a discreet way. While this certainly helps to create the safest environment possible, it can also lead to some ridiculous stories.

Bridgerton's own Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey, isn't afraid to laugh at himself. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, he reflected on the most embarrassing scene he filmed for the show and its awkward aftermath.

Turns out, all those steamy moments with his on-screen partner Simone Ashley were a lot more comfortable than a bathtub shot where he was forced to sit with a camera pointed at him from between his legs.

“I went to a pub that night and had a pint with my mates. When I got up to get the second round, I was like, 'I'm chafing a bit.' And I realized I still had my modesty thong on, because I was so traumatized and I ran so quickly from set that I hadn't even taken off my little pouch. I still have it to this day,” the actor admitted.

Although the nude scenes are understandably not the easiest to film, fans cannot help but admire them. Now that the third season of television's juiciest period drama is about to premiere, viewers are hoping for even more reasons to blush.

Bridgerton season 3 will focus on the romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. It will be released in two parts, premiering on Netflix on May 16 and continuing on June 11. Mark your calendars to be the first to jump back into the Bridgerton universe.
