Netflix’s smash hit series Bridgerton has returned for the first part of its third season, but fans are more interested in the hidden talent of star Claudia Jessie.
Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton, went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promoteSeason 3and, in doing so, recounted an on-set injury where she broke her wrist while doing a high kick in costume.
While recalling the story to Colbert, the actress mimicked the muted sounds she heard due to the extreme pain she was in, showing off her propensity for voice acting as it sounded like the viewer’s ears truly gave out.

Bridgertonfans were quick to express how impressed they were by Jessie’s voice acting, with one fantweeting, “When she imitated the muffled sounds of her losing her hearing that is a born ACTOR.”
Another fanwrote, “This is the best storytelling bit I’ve ever heard. What on God’s green earth was that muffled sound?!” With a third onecommenting,“The imitation of the sound going muffled is crazy… Academy Award.”
Jessie’s revelation of her injury clarifies why Eloise was seen strutting around with different long-sleeved gowns and muffs during the predominantly spring-like weather seen in Season 3.
The actress told Colbert that the wardrobe department had to create a “summer muff,” or a cylinder of fur or fabric with both ends open, to hide her cast during filming.
To ensure Jessie did not look out of place amongst the other actors, wardrobe went so far as to make enough for the background actors of theNetflix showto wear. So now fans can rewatchSeason 3with this Easter egg in mind.
