Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey had no issue sucking on his co-star’s toe in a racy TV show. In fact, he thought it was “really hot” – but there was a slight problem behind the scenes

Jonathan Bailey has shared how he had no issue with sucking on his co-star’s toe for a racy on-screen romp.

The actor shot to fame playing Anthony, Viscount Bridgerton in Netflix’s smash hit Bridgerton. Since then, he’s turned his hand to an array of different projects.

And the British hunk has returned to screens once more for a new racy romance drama. Titled Fellow Travelers, the Paramount+ series follows two male political staffers who fall in love and hide their affair.

Jonathan stars alongside Matt Bomer in the show which is set in 1953 at the start of the Lavender Scare; when the government cracked down on gay federal employees. Jonathan plays Timothy “Tim” Laughlin and Matt portrays Hawkins “Hawk” Fuller.

But for Jonathan, he wasn’t phased by the the racy moment involving his co-star’s feet. In fact, he thought it was “really hot”.

The British star said the scene was ‘hot’

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said: “If in the first episode that’s what we are doing, it’s going to be worth five months moving to Toronto, and it’s going to be a series that I would want to watch.

“Because not only is it incredibly complicated, not only is it really hot, it’s also something that masks as being provocative, but actually it’s really psychologically impactful and the people who get it get it.”

There was a problem behind-the-scenes though

However, it seems there was a slight problem behind the scenes before Matt got his feet out, and Jonathan started kissing them.

Bomer stubbed his toe two days before filming and thought it was broken. Executive producer Daniel Minahan told Variety: “He had a big bandage on his toe. I said, ‘Well why don’t we put the other toe in Johnny’s mouth?

“And then of course, in between takes, we would wash his feet. You have to think those kinds of things, especially poor Johnny, he had to do that scene a number of times.”
