While Bridgerton is known for its drama and romance, the making of the show is filled with lighthearted moments and unexpected surprises. Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton) has been giving fans a sneak peek into the funniest behind-the-scenes moments from season 4, proving that even in Regency-era England, laughter reigns supreme.
1. When Props Go Rogue
Period dramas rely heavily on props to create an authentic atmosphere, but sometimes, they have a mind of their own. Hunt shared a story about a particularly troublesome fan.
“I had this beautiful lace fan for one of my scenes, and I was supposed to dramatically snap it open,” she said. “But instead, it flew right out of my hands and hit Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton) in the face. He just stood there in shock while everyone burst out laughing.”
2. Learning to Ride a Horse… the Hard Way
Horseback riding is an essential skill for many characters in Bridgerton, but it’s not always easy. Hunt admitted that she had a tough time mastering the art of riding.
“I was supposed to ride this horse gracefully through a park, but the horse had other plans,” she revealed. “It decided to stop completely, and no matter what I did, it wouldn’t move. Eventually, someone had to come lead it off-set while I just sat there, defeated.”
3. Unexpected Cameos from Crew Members
Filming can be unpredictable, and sometimes, crew members accidentally end up in the frame.
“There was this one shot where you could totally see a crew member hiding behind a curtain,” Hunt said. “We only noticed it after reviewing the footage, and we laughed so hard that we almost kept it in.”
Final Thoughts
Florence Hunt’s behind-the-scenes stories show that even in the glamorous world of Bridgerton, things don’t always go as planned. With season 4 on the horizon, fans can look forward to not just swoon-worthy romance but also the camaraderie and fun that make the show so special.
