How many Bridgertons can you fit in a photo booth? Jonathan Bailey (Anthony), Luke Thompson (Benedict), Luke Newton (Colin), and Will Tilston (Gregory) prove it’s at least four as they hop into the Generation N booth for a conversation about their time together on set, Tilston finishing school while filming the show, and a weekend bonding trip that left fingers pruned but the brotherhood stronger than ever.

The four thought back to their first experiences working together on the period drama. “I just remember thinking how much I wanted to be like you guys when I got older. Not just as actors, but as people,” says 19-year-old Tilston to his castmates. “You all made such an effort to include me despite me being surrounded by this entourage of mums and chaperones all the time.” 

“A show like Bridgerton is so confident in what it wants to be, and all you can do is sort of just trust it and relax into it,” says Thompson, of the early days adapting to the unique style of the series. “Polish your boogie board and then just turn up and get on the wave,” Bailey says.

Each actor came to the hit adaptation with different levels of experience under their belt. Tilston recalls his first-ever job, the film Goodbye Christopher Robin. “It’s funny, I don’t remember feeling nervous at all. It was my first-ever audition.” Thompson and Bailey share their memories of filming tracking shots in Dunkirk and Jack Ryan respectively, while Newton expresses his excitement for working in theater, having recently appeared off Broadway. “Working in New York for the first time, I felt very at home, because a lot of them were musical theater performers, which is where my training started,” he says, referring to Broadway as a big dream. 

The actors agree that they’ve built a brotherhood of their own while playing the Bridgerton men, with Newton suggesting, “We now need to do a trip, us four.” Bailey throws out ideas for creative projects they would do together (“I was thinking we could be a bobsleigh team.”) and Thompson proposes a “physical challenge” like mountain climbing. For a show that builds the Bridgerton family legacy couple by couple, it seems these four have found a family of their own.
