The actress said her X-rated scene is the biggest "f**k you" to her critics.
“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 show’s 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. “There’s one scene where I’m 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 I’m 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.
