"Especially the first intimacy scene that we did ... Lizzy did mention, like, 'We've never really done this before in the Bridgerton universe.' And what's so great about it is that it's just an extension of their emotion. And it is that hunger and yearning between two worlds, where they feel like it's forbidden. And what does that do to two people? I think it actually just makes the fire that much stronger and hotter."
"I think when you have a scene partner that you can trust, that you can go there with someone, it hopefully builds a really honest intimacy. That was where I truly opened up to Luke and talked to him about my fears with intimacy scenes, about what it means to be a woman and dealing with body image, and how it's scaring me."
Bridgerton Season 4's intimate scenes between Sophie and Benedict stand out for their authentic portrayal, featuring extended sequences that capture both the logistical and emotional aspects of intimacy. Intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot directed these scenes with a new approach for the Bridgerton universe, emphasizing emotional connection over quick cuts. Actress Yerin Ha attributes the authenticity to the trust she developed with scene partner Luke Thompson, built during filming at Benedict's cottage where they discussed fears and vulnerabilities. Ha describes the scenes as extensions of the characters' emotional hunger and forbidden yearning, enhanced by carefully selected musical accompaniment including covers by Vitamin String Quartet and Strings from Paris.
