it was one of the greatest days of my
life did you do a tape or did you
actually I went in in person it was
April 4th 2019 first thing you didn't do
a tape you just went straight in I went
straight in baby yeah it was the
greatest day of my life for more reasons
than one I was like I'm never going to
get this it's like a Netflix show it's
you know Shanda Rhymes are going to do 7
I guys come here I taped first and then
I went in and did a terrible job on my
first audition really really bad what
you mean what did you do I don't know I
think I was having a bad week I just
didn't get didn't get it I was for go
back in I was fortunate enough to be
asked back in again and and met what
they were like just try again just try
properly is that what they said no I
don't know I think I was given a really
nice yeah opportunity
I do but I don't think it's Luke's
favorite yeah go on but I think I I
think mine might be the same and also it
happened to you as well right
no you sure definitely not cuz I had
stretchy ones on I'm not so sure about
this but go for it we were filming CU I
stretchy
one we we need
tol so I was we were filming a scene
massive Scene It was kind of like a
stunt and there's a hot air balloon
involved and there are a few of us that
need to pull this rope I run up and I'm
pulling in in like the squat position
really trying to get some weight behind
it and then I call other people to help
Luke runs over squats down rips his
first pair of trousers we can't reset
get them a new pair of trousers I think
it happened three times and it took ages
like they had to go back to the base get
a new pair of TR start again we do it
again they rip again we do it again they
rip again and then eventually I think we
just gave up I think they just gave me
the same color Underpants yeah exactly
we broke a piece of furniture doing sexy
stuff can you believe that what is your
name you I going to call you C Bey face
like love
dove no don't be falling don't be doing
falling why are you so cute as well I
think dogs were created because people
knew how hard the world was going to be
and they were like you get these you get
these but we don't deserve them we we
don't working with Luke was amazing he's
so nice he's so kind I feel like it we
were really lucky in that it felt like
we had 2 years to prep for it we knew
that we were next so getting to watch
the previous leads thank you they need
to be set um was a real treat actually
just to see how they navigate their way
through even just the demands of being
in every day and I mean you had that as
well to be fair I don't know what you
you in every day I don't know what
you've been saying for the last five
minutes I couldn't I could just be
moving I couldn't repeat a word of it
okay you were in every day as well
pretty much it wasn't just me and Nick
it's such an ensemble piece like the
whole show that it never feels like
there's a pressure on like whoever's
love story is it just feels like
everyone's cracking on with the job and
you're really trying to listen to me and
I really appreciate it yeah yeah look at
them right you too
yeah yeah it's amazing I mean again you
don't really consciously build it it
just sort of happens and it's hard to
admit I think but when it's the right
actors in the right team it's the
easiest job in the world when a scene
comes through and it's just me Johnny
Luke I know it's going to be an easy we
look forward to it yeah and then we
welcom working with C is always amazing
stop trying to kill your brother she's
so brilliant to act against she's such a
sweet sweet person but I missed having
scenes with her and then Luke would
tease me and be like look I had loads
more scenes with than then you did this
season i' be like but why
there was a lot like this actually big
fight big fight yeah I think there's
nothing more exciting than when an
audience knows something that none of
the characters know I think it's wicked
in the TV show for that to happen I beg
you pardon after that there's nothing
more exciting than one of the characters
knowing what the audience knows and
obviously the best character for that to
have happened to was Eloise for the
audiences perpose because of their
friendship and stuff but we me and Nica
we really wanted it to be brilliant and
like powerful and stuff but on the page
it was so that was you know we didn't
have to do too much it was like that
he's going home with his keys stolen
he's taking his keys and he's getting
out of here
baby that one actually I feel like that
mean if were really oddly looking
forward to it having a blazing round
because we knew how much it would mean
to the audience they're reenacting it
yeah that's literally it they were the
only couple that you felt completely
comfortable with you knew what it was it
was a like a really pure friendship so
it's nice to see those things on telly
when it all sort of falls apart a bit
well said I don't know how I did it I'm
SW I am pissing sweat I'm I'm in a
different space come
here favorite outfit I go wear this year
there was so many the dress that she
wears when they have their first piece
do you remember the hunting cites in
season 2 I wish I could have it but it's
probably been sitting in the warehouse
somewhere now but that was my favorite
we're going hunting it's the Kate I
never went hunting I was at marinas I
admired it from afar nice color um good
cut I mean to be honest all the costumes
are incredible it's boring to say but
the amount of artistry that goes into
them that hunting coat what it's on
screen for what 2 minutes or something
and it's worked on with so much detail
and I get to see it I get to see the
progress not my watch mhm mine was my
jacket on arrival of season 3 my long
brown coat we love the coats don't we
yeah the long flowing coats relax look
yeah what's going on just having a
moment having a moment yeah my heart is
like being really
fast the first kiss do you know that
Penelope had a dog in Bridgeton and it
just disappeared it was actually given
to her cousin Marina by someone who had
a crush in her and was like I will take
the dog come here do you remember season
one of Bridgeton that you were in this
is role play and then oh my God kick on
the face oh my god oh you're wrestling
me oh my God oh my God oh my God okay do
I need to answer yes I actually always
think it will be the first one you ever
see Eloise in that sort of like mad big
bow ruffly thing where you know Eloise
screams D me I think that one cuz it was
the first thing you ever saw us in and I
remember the fitting for it quite
vividly well it wasn't a DM but I got a
text from my friend saying Kate McKinnon
wants your number and I idolized Kate
and she she wanted to text me cuz she
really likes Dairy girls which is crazy
so I think that was the coolest for me
she's a big she's a big hero of mine no
biting I'm really proud of all the
family scenes the the drawing room
scenes because I look back at them and
there's something about the the rhythm
of them and the way they're written in
this sort of like obviously Regency but
quite contemporary way and the dynamic
feels very fresh and like Lively and I
watched those scenes and I think you
never really see that in a period I
think but we always say the same thing
that we're always like completely
shattered by B half 10 in the morning
because we've all been together been
like being completely completely Bonkers
it's either like the really joyful
scenes with the family or it's like the
really emotional scenes when something
really dramatic happens and you get to
tick that off and you you've been
waiting to get the moments that we've
always known were coming like from the
books I was like psyched and ready to
dive into
[Music]
that yeah of course I think when it came
through it says Netflix shaelan yeah
like you know based on these really
successful books we're going to have to
be quiet now because I think she's
falling asleep
oh so that's the end of the intervie we
need a closeup on
that I'm so surprised that the coming
out scene it it went viral recently I
couldn't believe cuz I remember I shot
back within like the first week of ever
shooting Dairy girls I was like oh I
think I made her too sassy with the like
look of the steady and the h hi I was
like I don't know if she'd do that but
people seem to like it so that that's
nice I don't really want a guest
actor you know what leave us alone we're
very happy as we are stay out stay
[Music]
out I think she needs to be Ant Sarah
cuz imagine her being a fabulous Mama
Like A Lady Danbury you look only
beautiful I can see it hello

Phil with Phil rosenal I can't say it

no he doesn't want anyone to join the
show he doesn't want to do any other
show that's kind of nice he's like
content with exactly how it is do you
want to be in a show other than bridg um
something like afterlife where it's like
a lot of improv cuz I love to laugh I
love corpsing and that's why I like
working with YouTube cuz I'm always on
the edge of laughing in a scene so
something like that where you get to
just kind of make I imagine they don't
make it up I got really obsessed with
Married at First side Australia and
there was a woman in it called Lucinda
light and she talked like this and she
just thought everything was beautiful
and she would say stuff like I just want
to stay in Devotion to that um so I just
kind of want to hang out with her so I
would like to be on that show I don't
know what my job would be in what
capacity I'm there but but I think maybe
we should have a hug do you feel that
[Music]

Bell we yeah I hate to break it to you I
didn't want to break it to you like this
actually but they're almost [ย __ย ]
everywhere I'd love to try um a
McDonald's really just want to see I've
heard there's a Happy Meal for kids
Siobhan mcen who plays sister Michael is
so funny that I remember in season one
her turning around and doing a scene
where she was on the phone I don't
remember the line but it was like ah how
are you talking to another nun and just
every time she Span in the chair I
killed myself there's a reason she want
to B this because she is so
[Music]
hilarious yes I I've been on flights
when people have been watching Dairy
girls and it's really weird and I'm like
and what do you do do you just go like
hello like very surreal you don't see
people watching Bridgeton on planes cuz
it's too Saucy isn't that awkward when
you're on a plane and you're watching
like a scene like that and you're like
I'm not a pervert I saw someone watching
bridg in on their phone on the tube and
and I was standing in front of the not
deliberately not like hi
just and she seemed so peaceful I um I
didn't disturb her I just was like huh
that's funny I have seen someone Google
me and they were in front of me on the
train I've seen them Google me and then
just send pictures to a WhatsApp group
of me but then she turned around to me
and went are you Claudia Jesse and I
went yes and she
went just carried
on on my for you page right now I get a
lot of bead stuff I don't know why what
that's about but I like oh
wow my hairdresser is watching you do
this his name is hi and he's going to be
like he's like you are ruining my work
but you're so cute why would you eat the
dress instead actually cuz the dress
isn't attached to my head that's better
isn't it that's a good one it's so nice
and delicious to eat someone's dress so
small audition for I audition for the
role of Robin and stranger things and
it's a good lesson as an actor like it's
definitely one of those PRS I was like
yeah I shouldn't have gotten that of
course my Hawk should have gotten that
cuz she's way better than me
[Music]
no one spoken to me about any
moments out you don't know anyone who's
watched it I don't know anyone who
watched it no one speaks to me about
moments all right I get asked if the
carriage scene made it into the show or
if the mirror scene made it into the
show oh so like things from the book
They're referencing wow that's cool
that's kind of come here as juicy as it
gets it's I had a really funny one the
other day that I was in New York and a
lady said to me she was like she was
like I know you're your lady whistle
ball and I was like absolutely I
am
[Music]
correct we do dance that on set the
ketchup on yeah cuz then we could all do
that that one the Beyonce one that was
like viral and everyone was doing the
Tik Tok dance C it yeah cuz no one um
you
just shut up shut up shut it
yeah there's so much I want to do next I
really love anything with like a weird
toxic family Dynamic Royal tenner bombs
arrest development sucession which are
all sort of the same thing in different
fants a movie for kids that would be
very exciting the funnest thing about
being an actor is doing loads of
different things so anything like the
furthest thing away from Bridgeton would
be would be amazing M spy movie can see
that I don't know if I'd want to do a
horror film cuz I'd be too scared alth I
think that would take the scare away
from it I think you'd be like this isn't
scary at all
I sound like an idiot I'd be too scared
it's it's not real I don't want to do a
horror film i' be too scared you need to
read the script and then be
like I know what you're going to say
I've stolen quite a lot of toilet roll
honestly I like a substantial amount of
toilet Ro from the trailers people are
laughing like it's unreasonable
filming big mood was incredible I filmed
at the same time as Bridgeton for about
half of it such a different show there's
just no crossover really one of my best
friends Camila white Hill wrote it and
it was so fun doing like a really truly
dark comedy but I love that group of
people we hang out all the time I bring
them to my house for dinner yeah we're a
good um Pep Squad for one another but I
love that show I want to do more of that
show so watch it for free on TV you
