What did Nicola Coughlan say about her role on Bridgerton?
In January 2022, Nicola had an interview with Elle Magazine, where she share her experience about her role and the success of Bridgerton.
She said: “I was like, ‘OK, great. People are watching’. And then it was like, ‘It’s number one in Turkey. It’s number one in Canada. Number one in the US’.
“I started compiling a list just to try to make it real in my head. And then it was like, ‘It’s the biggest show that’s ever been on Netflix, 80 million people’, and it’s like, ‘What?’ It just was surreal”.
On whether she knew Bridgerton would alter her life for the better, the star said she had a gut feeling it would.
She explained: “I didn’t think it was going to be the biggest show on Netflix, I didn’t think that level. But I had lunch with Phoebe [Dynevor] maybe about two months before it came out.
“And I said, ‘I think your life’s going to change’. And she was like, ‘No, I don’t know. I’ve done things before that people thought were going to be huge and it hasn’t worked out’. But I just had that instinct about it”.
Nicola went on to speak about the intensity of fame, stating: “Being famous is like being a dog on the Tube. It’s exactly the same energy.
“When you get on, everyone looks at you. Some people are so smiley, while some are afraid of you and don’t want to go near. Some people touch you without asking”.
