Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan clapped back at her body-shamers in the best way.
In a new interview with the U.K.s Stylist , the actress opened up about her decision to collaborate with the Netflix shows intimacy coordinator, Lizzy Talbot, in order to be very naked on camera to get back at trolls who criticized her appearance.
I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included, Coughlan recalled. Theres one scene where Im 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.
I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought: When Im 80, I want to look back on this and remember how fucking hot I looked! she added of the scene.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) cheered on the Irish actress for shutting down her haters.
as someone who has been a bigger girl their entire life, to see someone who represents ME as the leading lady for honestly the first time in my 34 years, is very emotional for me. i love nicola immensely and i cannot wait to see penelope get her time to shine. https://t.co/sGqJFGfg6P

Coughlans comments come after she pleaded with the internet to stop judging her body.
If you have an opinion about my body please, please dont share it with me ... Its really hard to take the weight of thousands of opinions on how you look being sent directly to you every day, she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post in January 2022.
Despite having the gusto to shut down her critics, Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington in the show, admitted that preparing to strip down for her first-ever sex scene wasnt exactly easy.
In fact, she confessed she kicked back a margarita just to try on the skimpy strapless thong used to cover up her lady bits for the nude scene.
I went to the bathroom and looked in the full-length mirror, I was like: Absolutely not! I hid it down the bottom of the laundry basket. I was like: How am I going to do this? Coughlan told Stylist.

But once she got over her initial jitters, Coughlan said she became surprisingly comfortable filming the X-rated scene with her co-star Luke Newton, who plays her characters love interest, Colin Bridgerton.
By the end of the day, we were both lying under a blanket, not clothed, just chilling, she explained. We were like: This is why nudists do it.
