Nicola Coughlan, star of Bridgerton, is proud of her body and made a cheeky comment about her “perfect breasts” at a fan screening in Dublin. She joked about women with her body type not being seen onscreen enough and received applause and laughter from the audience. Coughlan sees filming nude and sex scenes on the show as empowering, but she is anxious about her family seeing her intimate scenes with Luke Newton in the new episodes.
The actress, who is 37 years old, mentioned that her family will have to watch her steamy scenes in the show, but she plans to avoid being present during that time. Coughlan discussed how she will handle the situation with a bit of denial and humor, wanting to forget about the moment afterward. She acknowledges the intensity of the scenes and the preparation her family will need to watch them.
Coughlan recently shared that she requested to have more nudity on the show in response to negative comments about her body. She wanted to include specific lines and moments to feel empowered and confident in her own skin. The actress stated that being naked on camera in a scene felt like a defiance against the criticism she received about her body, and it made her feel beautiful and empowered. She expressed a desire to look back at that moment when she is older and remember feeling confident and attractive.
Season 3 of Bridgerton, part 2, where Coughlan features prominently, is set to premiere on Netflix on June 13th. Fans are eagerly awaiting the continuation of the Regency period drama and the development of Penelope Featherington’s character. Coughlan’s candid remarks and humor have garnered attention, showcasing her confidence and positive attitude towards her body and the scenes she films for the show.
