Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, known for her role as Lady Whistledown, has sparked a conversation about the 'plus size' label and its impact on her career. In a recent interview, she shared her frustration with the term, expressing her desire to move beyond it.
Coughlan, who plays a character involved in intimate scenes with Luke Newton, revealed an incident where a drunk fan's comment about her body left her feeling distressed. She emphasized that despite her size 8-10 frame, she's often labeled as 'plus size', which she finds disheartening.
The actress also discussed her dedication to her craft, stating that her passion lies in her work rather than body image. She believes that the focus on physical appearance can be disheartening, especially when it overshadows the hard work and dedication put into a project. Coughlan's rising star continues to shine, with upcoming projects like 'The Magic Faraway Tree' alongside renowned actors Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy.
