That imitation of her experience at 4:01 was actually so good, it threw me off balance for a second as I'm wearing headphones.

[@mackenzie98]

I know. How the hell did she do that so well?! lol

[@voyance4elle]

same xDD

[@ChocoPaid-vp8yz]

I honestly didn't notice it at first.... I swore something was going wrong with my speakers and just let it go wow

[@MelGallegos]

had to go back, she's awesome!!

[@Sara-mf3px]

Omg same,that’s impressive 🤣

[@Martinbeef]

It’s great for me as an Englishman to hear just a regular London accent. She seems so unpretentious and comfortable in her own skin. It’s a rare thing for tv stars, I think.

[@lesbiangoddess290]

She's from Birmingham but she's got a mix of a London accent probably because of work being closer there.

[@redbrick1976]

She's from Birmingham but yea, solid accent 😉

[@cheekychappy1234]

@@redbrick1976 She grew up in London though.

[@alecwescott2987]

Thats wild, I was hearing both accents and was so confused

[@horacio-ho3bf]

I have always been a huge fan of Sade....i couldn't believe her accent the first time I heard it....i expected sultry elegance, but her modern Cockney made me laugh....since then I can distinguish more varieties from watching QI, Mighty Boosh, 8/10 Cats, etc.

[@TSIRKLAND]

What an abundance of personality she has!

[@voyance4elle]

great description!!

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

Wait till you learn she spent years living on a boat while being a high profile actress lol

[@alicecd]

Claudia Jessie is going to be THE breakout star out of all the immensely talented cast of Bridgerton. The comedy chops, wooooweee!

[@BellaBarossa]

She did do a sound job of her role as Amelia Sedley in the 2018 version of Vanity Fair, with Olivia Cooke and Johnny Flynn. I saw her in that before I saw her in Bridgerton, and she stood out even then.

[@BenThere_DoneThat]

That's what impressed me so much in Bridgerton! She can add so much humor to a scene with just an expression. I keep telling my wife "She's SO FUNNY!"

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

The Bridgerton cast is full of heavy hitters. This show will absolutely make at least 4 careers if not 6 or more. Between those with amazing singing voices & acting skills and those with amazing comedic timing & acting skills… wowzas. The casting director deserves a bonus.

[@vrv7727]

Made me smile to see her in the outfit she had previously worn at the premiere. So refreshingly relatable. :)

[@roxyortiz8819]

With the hair in a bun for the after party 😂

[@Pink90132]

She made a comment about it, wanting to be sustainable throughout the media tour and not buying into fast fashion

[@elisaa9981]

Maybe, but I think it's really ugly. I don't understand fashion nowadays. Why would you like to put on an ill-fitting, three sizes too big suit with stripes? I mean, it most certainly doesn't have to be all tight and curvy, but I'm just not very fond of that style. If I had pants like that, I would definitely break a leg or something if I was matching them with high heels.

[@demitasse22]

I love it so much

[@MarianaAlmazzi]

She's also worn the same golden earings and necklace for pretty much every single interview she's done for the press tour I just love her style and how honest she is about it.

[@karljung5210]

"elbow deep in summer muff" might be the greatest line in late night

[@laura_v191]

I'm not a native speaker, could you please explain what it meant figuratively?

[@roxyortiz8819]

@@laura_v191they’re referencing the fact that her character was wearing a muff aka a small round fur used to keep ladies hands warm, in the summer to hide her broken arm during filming. But muff is a slang term for a woman’s genitals, and “elbow deep” is another way to say that you did something A LOT. Plus referencing summer typically denotes a little bit of wild shenanigans. So “elbow deep in summer muff” implies she was having a lot of hot lesbian sex. 😂😂

God above, she’s incredibly captivating and wildly entertaining on interviews! More of her please! She’s my favourite actor on the show…but I didn’t know she’d be EVEN more entertaining just as herself. She’s good craic.

[@olggg9740]

It confirms she gets the next season and she gives Adele vibes

[@TheCatBilbo]

She does, but was born in Birmingham & only spent a few years in London whilst growing up. That seems to have given her a definite London twang, like Adele.
