Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan was told she was 'brave' for having a starring role in 'Bridgerton' as a bigger person. Her response was perfect.
asking dumb questions's Nicola Coughlan had to deal with an idiotic question this week, but luckily she had the perfect response all teed up and ready to go.
Well known as Penelope Featherington on the hit Netflix series, Coughlan was in Dublin for a Season 3 premiere event when a male journalist told her she was, ‘"very brave for this role,” during a Q&A. It was heavily implied that he was referring to her weight and non-traditional looks while starring in a steamy romance series — not as the villain or the best friend, but as the sexy main love interest.
She went on: “People love to undermine women and their hard work. I don’t think anything has improved unfortunately, but the only thing I can try and do is just go out there and do the best I can do with every job I’m given. And to hopefully get as many different roles as I can. All I care about is the work. Bodies change, if I lose weight or gain weight or I do anything it’s no one’s business, all I care about is doing good acting and being judged on that.
