Nicola Coughlan Pushes Back on the Body-Positivity Spotlight

Nicola Coughlan told Elle UK she’s exhausted by commentary on her body and has no interest in being a body-positivity poster child, saying the topic is “so fucking boring.” She said she’d rather focus on other issues and passions. The Bridgerton star reflected on nude scenes from the show's third season, noting she’d been working out and even wearing a corset size as small as an 8, which made the body-talk around her on-screen feel misplaced. She recalled an inebriated fan who told her she loved Bridgerton “because of your body,” underscoring how discussions of her appearance have followed her beyond the screen.
