Nicola Coughlan's Empowering Choice: Bold Naked Scene in Bridgerton Season 3

Nicola Coughlan, the star of Netflix's hit series Bridgerton, made a bold move in season three by requesting and shooting naked scenes as a response to body shaming comments she had received throughout her career. In an interview with Stylist magazine, Coughlan revealed that she collaborated closely with intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot to merge the scripts with choreography for the intimate scenes. One of these scenes, which was Coughlan's idea and choice, showed her in a very naked state on camera. The actress felt empowered by this decision and described it as 'amazingly empowering.'

Coughlan has previously spoken out against body shamers in the past, calling them out directly in a 2022 Instagram post where she urged fans not to share their opinions about her body with her. She also revealed that Netflix had given her parents an edited PG version of Bridgerton Season 3 according to her contract.

The Irish actress took on the lead role in Bridgerton Season 3, which is based on the fourth entry in author Julia Quinn's book series. Coughlan and Luke Newton, who plays Colin Bridgerton, shot their intimate scenes together with careful planning and collaboration. The new season of Bridgerton premiered on Netflix on May 16.
