Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor has opened up about the surprising sex scene in her new movie.
The actress features opposite Solo: A Star Wars Story's Alden Ehrenreich in the thriller Fair Play, from director Chloe Domont. The pair play a newly engaged couple who have to keep their relationship on the down-low due to them working together at a cut-throat job.
As detailed in Variety, there is a scene where the pair attend another wedding and sneak off to the bathroom for a sneaky session. Only, their hook-up ends with Dynevor's character with a blood-stained dress.

Speaking about the scene, she told the publication: 'I loved it. [When I read the script], I was like, "Hallelujah". I’d never seen a scene like that on film before. It happens. I don’t want to spoil too much, but it was fun to bring to life.
'We had a week of rehearsals before we got onto set. On the day, it felt like we knew what we were doing at that point.'
Despite all the rehearsing, when it came to filming the scene, trying to make sure they had a consistent amount of blood was an issue, with some takes having too much and others not having enough.

Any difficulties in filming paid off when the actors and director got to watch the audience experience the scene for the first time at Sundance, with Ehrenreich stating: 'It was a high point of seeing the movie with an audience. Getting to be in the room and [hear] the audience reaction was wonderful.'
Dynevor recently appeared in the film Bank of Dave, a real-life heartwarming story that takes a few creative liberties.
Bridgerton seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Netflix. Season 3 is in production. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is due to premiere in 2023.
