"Bridgerton" fans, get ready for a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of those sizzling Colin and Penelope (aka Polin) love scenes! Luke Newton, who plays the charming Colin Bridgerton, recently dished about the hilarious (and surprisingly relaxed) experience of filming intimate scenes with his longtime friend and co-star, Nicola Coughlan.
In a candid interview with Men's Health, Luke confessed that even he had moments of self-consciousness while filming those steamy scenes.
"You do selfishly think, 'How am I going to look on camera?'" he admitted. But it was a particular wardrobe essential that really tickled his funny bone – the infamous "intimacy garment."
"I was wearing my intimacy garment, which is just like a sock with a cup on it, sort of taped on you up in the front, and I saw myself in the mirror and started laughing," Luke shared, painting a hilariously relatable picture of behind-the-scenes life on a period drama set.
Instead of letting the awkwardness fester, Luke decided to share the laughter with Nicola.
"I went to Nic and said, 'Nic, I need to show you this before we do a take, because you'll just laugh at me, and it won't be this romantic, sexy scene anymore," he recalled. "So I showed her and we had a bit of a giggle."
