How Nicola Coughlan Became Penelope Featherington of 'Bridgerton' 🐝 | Teen Vogue

[@ssaa10dec20]

I love how she talked about the age difference between Penelope and herself, and how she tackled that and the importance of approaching it in a positive way instead of a patronizing way. Love her as an actress and a human being! 💛

[@Solomon7515]

Well said!

[@ruthnoronha8206]

She’s such a lovely person.

[@notmalaria]

i adore listening to actors who love and know their characters deeply. bridgerton seems to have those in spades, esp luke and nicola this season, and it feel so special.

[@Jinkook-wu1pu]

I love how she knows her character so well because so accurate in the way they are! the way Nicola knows her characters all of them and even Colin and Eloise the others oh the actress she is

[@meondma4833]

Ohhhh, the chokehold this woman has on me. I literally search every single interviews and contents that feature her. I LOVE HER SO SO SO MUCH, not just how great, talented & GORGEOUS of an actress she is but also how humble, loving and supportive she is as a human being 🥰🥰🥰

[@lomeimc826]

c exactement sa pour moi je la respecte profondement c une actrice drole quand il le faut mais aussi très sérieuse,appliquée et talentueuse

[@emmanuellaboakye5637]

Watch big mood she is amazing in it

[@meondma4833]

@@emmanuellaboakye5637 i already did 😊

[@katharinahuang3941]

Omg same. Have been obsessed with Nicola for a week now. Didn't even know this show existed before that

[@rozensabaku]

I'm so glad I'm not alone in this one... She had me also in a chokehold.

[@GuessIllSeeYouInTheMovies]

4:50 fascinating! the voice thing is so apparent now. give this woman all her flowers 💐

[@denarendall]

Oh Nicola is an ACTORRR! I love how carefully shes curated Pen and how deeply she knows her!

[@JL-hk6wn]

I've heard many actors before refer to acting as a craft, but never really understood it till this day. Level of effort, detail and emotional intelligence that Nicola poured in Pen's character is exceptional! ❤️😍👏🏻

[@nyliram2009]

Nicola's intelligence shine through and through... i love how her interviews showcases her talent...

[@skygo1601]

I love how much Nicola loves Penelope -- and how much she just gets Penelope. I am so excited to see Nicola playing other characters because I'm super sure she'd be as serious about them as she has been with Penelope.

[@mrsalmeida.m8619]

Ele vai fazer um filme em breve😊

[@alishavial1684]

Wow she’s talented. What she did with dropping the tone of the voice slightly as Penelope ages is so subtle but so crucial and clever!

[@SparkleByMonica]

Nicola has such a high emotional intelligence. I love hearing all the insight, even down to her tone of voice descriptions. Sparkle on ! ✨

[@patricialuna4174]

I could hear this woman talking for hours 🥺💜

[@RspbyLmn]

This woman better win an award for her acting in season 3.

[@ayydubs987]

it is SO refreshing to hear actors talk about the ins and outs of their characters. nicola knows pen completely. love her so much 💜💜💜

[@karenschwarzbach2332]

I’m obsessed! I’ve never really followed a performer before, but I’m so enamored with her intelligence, confidence, beauty, resilience, determination, and kindness. She’s truly a gem….a DIAMOND 💎

[@npats550]

I love hearing her talking about all of the different elements of the show- it's a little more insight into the actors prep and choices, the motifs through the seasons etc. And Derry Girls is funny AF!

[@DesireeTan-e7b]

I definitely noticed the change in her voice tonality and pitch in season 3. Loved how she used her voice to show the audience Pen’s transformation and journey…

[@Almarilys]

It was so interesting to hear about the whole process. It's one of the best videos about Bridgerton I've seen here. I could listen to Nicola for hours, she is so engaging. You can feel the love she has for her job and for the character she plays as she speaks. I love how she treats Penelope with respect as she works on understanding the character and her psyche. You can feel the dedication and the talent. She is such a beautiful person in and out. Nicolas Coughlan is one of the rare celebrities I wish I could get to know in real life.

[@janiceian1361]

What awesome analysis of the differences in the character she plays and the journey they had to take. She really gets it. Not only is she beautiful and talented but so INTELLIGENT. I never get tired of her interviews.

[@vishakakarthik5190]

Nicola Caughlan IS my most favourite person on this earth. She is sooo pretty i mean just look at that face! Gorgeous!! Also no one can convince me that she and Luke Newton aren't dating. They are clearly soulmates. LOve u both!!!!!!!!!

[@margaretforsey7763]

She is sooooooooooo pretty! Especially her beautiful skin and eyes. Yes, it is so surprising that her and Luke Newton never did a chemistry read. They have so much chemistry. He seems so sweet in interviews, too.

[@Allie8567]

I wish they were but I don’t think so. I heard/read he is dating a Greek model

[@nkk_23]

for sure they have been amping up the dating rumours but the bridgerton cast does that all the time for press, esp for queen charlotte snd season 3

[@allisonlew4508]

​@@Allie8567 I think she's Italian.

[@chloezaffuto6167]

I could genuinely listen to her talk for hours. The amount of effort she puts in is so well displayed. Ugh icon.

[@Keurlock]

Can't believe she's in her late 30s already! She looks so young and really embodies Penelope Featherington

[@Kim-zm7dc]

She’s so smart, so observant and analytical and so committed to her character. I love her.

[@erinokay9991]

She’s brilliant. She really has a huge appreciation and understanding for the craft of acting as well as the overall artistry of making the show.

[@GDLAPROD]

She's a genius. Nicola is by far one of the best actresses of our time.

[@kawu525]

I love the way she loves and takes care of Penelope character, this is the dream to come true to watch actor being so fond of and deeply understanding of the character they play. I loved the breakdown, oh this is such beautiful thing to come to my life, Bridgerton and especially season 3, you're so special to me 😭

[@ingriddossantos19]

I really like actors who know the characters they play very well because you can see how they look at that character. Even details such as the way of speaking, the voice and every detail that sometimes goes unnoticed by those watching.For me it is very fascinating😍

[@BroadwayMajor]

Honestly, this is the best interview I’ve seen. Just hearing her overall journey playing this character and hearing her mental state in every part of it is truly insightful. I love how the roles you choose as an actor really does challenge you not just by your skills but you as a person.

[@llm96_]

She's gorgeous, smart, talented, humble and genuine person. I'm now obsessed with her, she's amazing.

[@monao22]

She is just magnificent. So thrilled the whole world knows it now too. Also kudos to Shonda Rhimes.. she just knows.

[@jasminedobbins3353]

I just love her! She truly is like a breath of fresh air!

[@anparii]

FINALLY !!! I'M WAITING A NEW INTERVIEW WITH NICOLA 🥹😍😍😍😍

[@kyote1089]

I love Pen, especially S3. I love her confidence, not only as the character, but as herself. She's a beautiful woman, inside and out!

[@d43imoet]

I really hope an Emmy is coming her way soon 🥹🫶🏻

[@bluedancelilly]

I love the character of Pen and her story with Colin. The best storyline of the whole show!

[@amalia4693]

Sooo the "WHAT???" Of Colin when arriving to the Bridgerton house was actually of surprise? Maybe that's Why it felt so autenthic

[@i12koo]

she’s so wonderful as a human and as an actress. she understands penelope so well and it’s a joy to see actors who are really passionate about doing justice to their characters

[@Dxngerxuslylala]

i love how this is an interview about how she became Penelope and she still finds a way to talk about Luke 😂❤ they are so cute i love their friendship

[@cookiediangelo8511]

Oh my gosh she really nailed it. The whole bridgerton cast is absolutely amazing

[@CaseyRae67]

[@deed9430]

Nic is so well spoken and has such a charming voice. I can listen to her for hours without getting bored honestly.

[@ritaderuysscher3535]

If you love her voice, check out some of the audio books she has done. A true professional.

[@aaylaramlan435]

i love her in Derry Girls n I’m glad that she’s getting the recognition she deserves

Awe, I just love the “I love birds!” line reminds me of Bridget Jones energy. 🤩

Such a great observation! I love this season’s Penelope

[@Allie8567]

What comes through most of all in her interviews is her maturity and intelligence

[@myrtlemcgovern6907]

She’s a whole vibe! Can’t wait to watch her and Colin’s love story unfold.

[@literaturese]

So great seeing someone so lovely and talented getting the recognition she deserves!

[@kyanajoyce8219]

[@feedthesnake3394]

i just want to hug her. protect nicola at all costs.

[@Sam-0827]

Her understanding of Penelope makes me so happy, and the way she almost respects Penelope personhood as a young girl. So so important
