There’s no denying Bridgerton is one of the most popular shows of ALL time for a reason…a very GOOD reason.
Yes, the show is soapy and the costumes are amazing and the acting makes me weep, but the on-screen chemistry is…FIRE.
So when Ashton Kutcher thought his wife was watching porn while watching the steamy series, I think husbands everywhere went “Yeah, me too!”
In case you missed the memo, *Bridgerton* is Netflix’s most popular series of ALL TIME.
The show has been watched in over 80 million houses in its first month on the streaming service.
And if you’ve watched the series, you’ll hardly be surprised at that.
The show has become everyone’s favorite pandemic coping mechanism and I, for one, cannot wait for the second season!
One of the reasons fans love the show so much is the steamy, on-screen chemistry between Daphne and the Duke of Hastings.
As Bridgerton fans may already know, actors Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor had an intimacy coordinator on set to choreograph those now-famous scenes.
Lizzy Talbot had the honor of choreographing the sex scenes, and told *The Hollywood Reporter* about some of the challenges she faced during the show’s three-minute sex montage.
“You’re working with actors that are wet; you’ve got to be very careful about wigs; you’ve got to be very careful about costume. We did a lot of work up against hard surfaces, so we’ve got to be able to protect the actors because that’s essentially a stone floor,” she explained.
“Also, the scenes are happening in the middle of the night and even though it’s August, it’s still the U.K. so it’s absolutely freezing,” she continued.
“How do we keep these actors warm during takes and in between takes? Part of that is having a fantastic costume team ready with robes and hot water bottles and standing by to swaddle them in between. And also making sure that modesty garments are held on even though the actors are wet, because a lot of times they’re held on with tape or glue, and making sure that that is still in place even with doing some very energetic scenes.”

Needless to say, it seems like all that hard work paid off with the show gaining millions of fans around the world!
Celebrities also can’t get enough of the show, including goddess and actress Mila Kunis.
During an interview with Today Show hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, Mila shared an NSFW story that I’m sure many Bridgerton fans can relate to.
“Okay, I fall asleep by 9:30, I am out,” Mila explained.
“It doesn’t matter what is on, I’m asleep. Last night I happened to—I clearly stayed up til midnight,” the 37-year-old added, according to E! News .
“I was like, ‘What’s happening on this show?'” Mila added.
Speaking of hubby Ashton, the actress said, “He’s dead asleep. Wakes up in the peak of the fifth episode and he goes, ‘Are you watching a porno?’ Like, he was so confused of what was happening!”
As the ladies laughed, Ashton defended himself: “It’s this mini porno that she’s watching in the middle of the night.”
“I’m like—I didn’t know what was going on. Is there somebody else in the bed? It was terrifying!”
Through *literal* tears of laughter, Mila said she had to quiet her husband immediately.
“This is the wedding!” she shouted before stopping herself to avoid spilling any secrets for future Bridgerton watchers.
Naturally, Hoda and Jenna joined in on the excitement, telling Mila to hold on until the season finale.
“Wait until episode eight. It gets good. It gets better!” The ladies insisted. As any Bridgerton fan knows, this is the TRUTH!
Now tell that to Lady Whistledown.
