" I hear ringing go from this ear to this pinna , and suddenly , everyone started sounding like this . "
While it’s pretty common for actors to get injured on set, it’s usually because they participated in intense training or very difficult stunts. However, forBridgerton’sClaudia Jessie, her injury story involved an unexpected “trip” while she was on set.
In a recent interview onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert,Claudia explained exactly how she — ahem — the story went down after she was asked what it was like making this season and if it was easier now that she and the cast are in their third season.
While she explained that she still gets nervous before doing a take, she added that this season was interesting because she broke her wrist. “It was a Friday morning…and we hadn’t even started filming yet; I felt so bad.”
“To celebrate everybody’s good mood, I did a high kick — a celebratory high kick.” She further explained that theBridgertondress she was wearing was not like a tracksuit — or a cancan skirt — where she could just lift her leg high, but as you can guess, that didn’t stop her.
“So when I put my leg up, it was restricted immediately, and I went back,” she said. This is when Stephen asked, “Oh, because the bottom of the skirt took your legs out?” To which Claudia replied, “You better believe it.”
As she was going down, she remembered looking at one of herBridgertoncostars and saying, “Oh, no,” in a “the ship is going down” kind of tone.
This is when she landed on her wrist and noted that everyone from the cast was laughing, which she was happy with because she “would have hated silence,” but then, that’s when things got serious.
“I heard ringing go from this ear to this ear, and suddenly,everyone started sounding like this,” Claudia said in an “underwater” tone as if she could not clearly hear her cast mates around her because she was in so much pain. “And I was like, ‘Oh, I’m going deaf! I’m going deaf,'” she said. “And then I was like, ‘Oh, I’ve broken my wrist.'”
Luckily, there was a medic on set to help Claudia get to a nearby hospital. But once she was there, she found out the medic wrote on a patient form that the “patient was high-kicking on set” for the reason for the incident. “I did one! I wasn’t like an unstoppable high-kicking machine that they’ve been trying to stop at all costs for hours,” she said.
Of course, there was no such thing as a cast in the Regency Era. So theBridgertoncostume department had to be extra creative when it came to hiding the cast for filming by creating a “summer muff,” which wasnota real Regency-style garment that existed back then.
“We just made it up. We were like, ‘It’s the “summer muff,” of course!’ So, I’m actually elbow-deep in summer muff right there. If you will,” she said while pointing to a photo of her wearing the “summer muff” during a scene.
After Claudia shared her story, it went viral not because of the story itself but because ofhowshe told the story.
For instance, this person said they want Adele and Claudia to be besties already.
