Nicola Coughlan’s response to a question alluding to her “body type” at a Bridgerton Season 3 event in Dublin is going viral.

The third season of the Netflix hit period romance show sees Nicola’s Penelope Featherington step into the leading lady role. But, because some people are absolute freaks and have apparently never been outside, some of the discourse has centered around her body. And not in a nice way!

In a clip from last night’s premiere event, Nicola was asked about being “very brave for this role.” Nicola replied, “You know, it is hard, because I think women with my body type — women with perfect breasts — we don’t get to see ourselves on screen enough.”

“I’m very proud as a member of the perfect breasts community,” she continued, deadpan to the audience’s laughter. “I hope you enjoy seeing them.”

Nicola previously said of her nudity in Bridgerton, “There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘fuck you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering.”

IDK man, I just feel that Luke Newton probably hasn’t been told how “brave” he is for getting his ass out.
