Ever since it premiered on Netflix in Dec. 2020, "Bridgerton" has taken the world by storm. Set in London's high society during the Regency era, the period drama has been a hit all around the world after it became the most-watched series on the streaming platform and currently sits in second place after "Squid Game."
Not only has the show had great success but the actors who star in it have also been thrust into the spotlight ever since "Bridgerton" landed on our screens. One of those is Irish actress Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington.
Coughlan first became well known in the British teen sitcom "Derry Girls" and ever since she's made a strong impression on audiences.
But recently the actress spoke out on her Instagram about being inundated with comments about her weight from people around the world. She asked that fans refrain from telling her their opinions on the matter, be they good or bad.
In the past, she's written about the topic and admitted that she's not a body positivity activist, but rather her body is her "tool" to tell stories, and that might involve losing and gaining weight for roles.
Posted to her personal Instagram account that boasts 1.4 million followers, Coughlan shared a mirror selfie of herself dressed in a colorful floral dress with an oversized white collar.
