Just a few years ago, Nicola Coughlan was half expecting a chat with her parents, telling her it was high time she pulled the plug on her acting dreams.
âMy family would have been well within their rights to say, âMaybe this isnât working out,ââ the actor recalls. âBut they didnât. They had my back. If I didnât have them, I couldnât have done it.â
By âitâ, Nicola means her dizzying rise to fame, from a struggling wannabe actor, hardly able to get an audition, to starring in the steamy runaway Netflix hit Bridgerton.
Gone are the days when there wasnât enough cash in her pockets to buy a coffee. Now, she has Hollywood knocking down her door.
âItâs hard for me to comprehend,â admits Nicola. âHow do you process that? You donât, is the answer.â
Based on the novels by Julia Quinn, each season of Bridgerton follows a different sibling from a London society family as they attempt to find love in the early 1800s. In the recently released season three, itâs Nicolaâs turn to play the romantic lead as Penelope Hetherington, alongside Luke Newton, 31, who plays her on-screen lover Colin Bridgerton.
Itâs a scenario the 37-year-old never imagined as she was growing up in a small village near Galway on Irelandâs west coast.
