Nicola Coughlan, best known for her role as Penelope Featherington in Netflix's hit series 'Bridgerton', has once again made headlines—not for her acting, but for her powerful response to body shamers. During a promotional tour for the third season of 'Bridgerton', Coughlan demonstrated her quick wit and unyielding confidence, addressing a backhanded comment about her body with poise and humor.
While promoting 'Bridgerton' in Dublin, Ireland, Coughlan and her co-star Luke Newton engaged in a Q&A session with fans. Amidst the excitement, an audience member made a comment about Coughlan being "very brave" for portraying Penelope, implicitly referencing her body type. Without missing a beat, Coughlan responded, “You know, it is hard because I think women with my body type — women with perfect breasts — we don't get to see ourselves onscreen enough.
” The crowd erupted in laughter and applause, celebrating her witty retort.
Coughlan continued, “And I'm very proud as a member of the perfect breasts community. I hope you enjoy seeing them.” Her response not only shut down the critic but also highlighted the importance of body positivity and representation in media.
