Claudia Jessie, who stars as Eloise Bridgerton on Bridgerton, revealed that the show’s production crew went through great lengths to cover up her cast after she broke her wrist while filming season three of the Netflix hit series.
Claudia explained during a May 17 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, “They had to make a muff.”
In fact, the costume team made multiple versions of the circular cloth accessory, which Eloise would have used at the time to “warm her hands.” But since the fuzzy puffs are typically worn in the winter, the crew invented new lightweight styles of the fashion item to justify her character using it during warmer months.
“We just made it up,” Claudia said. “We were like, ‘It’s the summer muff, of course!'”
Of course, it wouldn’t be realistic if only one Bridgerton character hopped on the fashion trend, so background actors also donned the faux regency era style. As Claudia explained, “They actually had to make loads for their SAs.”
As for what led to the actress’ injury? The 34-year-old said it happened during an on-set celebration gone wrong.
“I did a high kick. I’m not a dancer,” Claudia recalled. “The circumference of the dress I had on, it ends at some point. So, when I put my leg up, I was restricted immediately and then I went back.”
After landing on her wrist, she initially thought it wasn’t a major accident.
“Everybody was laughing, which I’m glad,” Claudia continued. “I would’ve hated silence.”
Luckily, she got the help she needed in the end, quipping, “Obviously, we have medics on set for idiots like me.”
