At my age, I thought my years of fangirling were well behind me but goodness I adore her! So talented, so well spoken. Can't wait to see her shine as the leading lady of season 3.

I feel the same way. I’ve never rooted for someone as hard as I’m rooting for her now

She’s very youthful-looking but age is a very important factor for maturity. I don’t think a younger actress with her body type would be as comfortable in her skin as Nicola is! I absolutely adore her!!
I love how passionate she is with every character. Penelope is going to be my all time favorite character for sure.
I love Nicola! And how refreshing to hear an actor who admits they were scared of a difficult role. I also like this interviewer because he let her shine and she obviously felt comfortable with him.

Same. It's so hard not to love her.
I love Nicola in Derry Girls and Bridgerton. I also loved that Anthony Mason interviewed her. I love how he gives his subjects space to answer his questions.

Totally - but I also like the interviewer. He’s great, too.
What a fabulous talent Nicola Coughlan is and we are thrilled she never stopped. May her future just get brighter and brighter!
I was hooked on Derry girls, found her to be very talented and was thrilled to find she was going to be in Bridgerton where she is brillent and lovely, I am excited for this new season for her be the lading lady. Well done.
Nicola is gorgeous and a great conversationalist. I hope that she’ll remain a constant on the Bridgerton press tours for future seasons because she has been a champion since the beginning so much so that her presence has become reassuring. I remember when she announced the plot of season 3 and how scared she was which I empathized with. 14:24 Wow, I needed to hear that. I share in her relief and look forward to seeing it. ❤️
I’ve been binge watching all the Bridgerton interviews and this woman is so COOL ! I have a new favorite actress.
Fun fact, Nicola was the first cast member of Bridgerton!
We can fell the emotion she’s felling when she talks about it. This 3rd season will be amazing 🥰

I'm watching her right now on tu I original series Big Mood season 1. Her and Lydia West is incredible in this series
“You can’t wish away the journey.” So good! She is amazing and beautiful.
She’s so naturally funny, well-spoken, sweet and charismatic. She’s just adorable and like a positive shining star. Nicola deserves this sm what a talent. She looks like an old Hollywood beauty this season, I love the Rita Hayworth glam and fabrics they chose for her. That silky lilac shade? Divine. Looks like Ariel walking out of the water. What a star.
Nicola is so transparent and emits so much wisdom and sweetness in every word. I could listen to her talk for hours, incredible interview!!
Nicola is the star of this show. It’s amazing getting to know her better during this press tour.
I love her so much! I hope she's in more movies and shows. She seems so kind, funny, intelligent, and gorgeous.
The reason her character on Bridgerton I think is so popular is because Penelope is relatable. How many of us have been ignored, forgotten, overlooked and are lonely just like Penelope.
I have never watched an actor talking for so long but I can listen and watch Nicola for hours. She is just amazing🙌🏻
She seems to be such a sweetheart!
Such a beautiful voice......
I admire Nicola’s talent, grace, and moral integrity ❤
This was a lovely interview. Really enjoyed how she spoke highly of the crew of Bridgerton.
She deserves the worldddd
Search out ‘Big Mood’ starring Nicola Coughlan, a channel 4 comedy series that deals with mental illness. She’s INCREDIBLE in it !!

Yes it’s so good. I’ve been wondering why none of the interviewers ask her about it.
She is so cool!!!!!
I'm so looking forward to watching Season 3 of Bridgerton!!! Nicola & Luke are so comfortable with each other, they will bring that to their characters in the show.
I can’t wait for her season!!

I just watched her in the tubi original series Big Mood season 1. Her and her co star Lydia West is incredible in this series. You will love her in this series
Such an incredible, talented, hardworking individual. Down to earth and intuitive. This is a real interview and loved every second of everything. To the blooming of Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton. Can't wait for their moment in the spotlight. Love Polin. Can't wait for Season 3.
I JUST LOVE NICOLA'S MIND. SHES AN AMAZING ACTRESS. AND SUCH A GREAT PERSON.
I really adore her as an actress. I feel like her role and as a person represent so many women. Her vulnerability about her experience in transforming into the role was so refreshing. Love her
I love her sm! and SHE IS SOSOOO PRETTYYYY
my queen
Nicola is so passionate about her work, from her Iconic roll in Derry girls as Clare devlin, she literally make a notebook about her so she could understand the character more deeply, she puts all her heart, energy, talent in every project she is involved and I'm sure that on S3 she is going to be amazing, she is already a STAR and completely deserves it 🥹
This a really nice cozy and wholesome interview
Great interview, she’s so open and honest it’s refreshing to see
This is a really good interview. I love how honest Nicola is about the realities of being an actor and how much thought and care she puts into her roles. She is such a humble, charming and funny person I hope she continues to have the success she deserves.
Im 29 and now that i know shes 37 I look up to her so much
Nicola is simply brilliant. Her work in Season 3 is heart wrenching. Brava!
Funny is funny and Derry Girls is flat out funny. I've cried laughing watching it.
Favorite part of derry girls
Derry Girls is one of my favorite shows!
I'm so glad he asked her about her part in Derry Girls. That show is great but all anyone ever talks to her about is her part in Bridgerton. Watch Derry Girls! That show is hilarious.
Nicola is such a darlin! 💕💕💕
Talented, hilarious, sweet, kind and I love how she keeps supporting/fighting for everything she believes in (even after some people told her to stop or nobody would want to work with her) she is amazing ❤️🩹
Does this guy realise you can still do cutting edge journalism without posing every question (so far) quite negatively. She is just breezing past this ofcourse and answering everything openly and joyfully with such depth and wisedom. Love this woman.
Great interview 😊
I wish he’d asked whether or not she has a notebook for Penelope & what’s inside it.
She is the definition of delightful.
My newest crush. I adore her
Me encantó la revista, si durará más vería todo
So charming and talented!
She’s so nice, thinking about the crew
What. Great interview. Nicola is inspiring, talented and just a beautiful person.
Very talented young actress Nicola Caughlan !
Love here so much. Thank you for Bridgerton and thank you for this interview.
She is glorious. Kind, thoughtful, beautiful. Amazing
Really well done interview.
What a delightful human 💗
Thanks for doing gods work ❤
Love her
I need her lip combo. Its glorious in every interview.
I miss Derry girls
My wife ❤
La Amo ♥
She is super nice....and beautiful
Shout out to Pakistan! We genuinely do love it! 🙌🏽
Why were they filming in -4°C!

Casting an ensemble takes longer than something with one or two primary leads and supporting roles.
I know this comment isn’t related to this video; kindly make Steve Hartman’s segment as long or maybe longer than David….. thanks

Lovely informative - thanks Anthony, Nicola. Derry Girls really historic - but I wish wish even though great cast they had found a cast that were closer in age to the girls not decade(s) older.
