Nicola Coughlan: Body Positivity is 'Boring'

Nicola Coughlan, known for her role in Bridgerton, has shared her frustration with the constant commentary on her body size, stating she has "no interest in body positivity" and finds such discussions "boring."

The Irish actress explained that she didn't consider actors' bodies when she was growing up and doesn't want her own to be a topic of conversation. Despite being a size 10, she has been referred to as plus-size, which she finds disheartening.

Coughlan recounted an instance where a fan praised her "body" after watching Bridgerton, an experience she found intensely uncomfortable. She noted that her dedication to her roles, involving months of hard work and family separation, is often overshadowed by discussions about her appearance, which she deems "f***ing boring."

She also revealed that her ADHD diagnosis has led her to give herself more "grace," stating it feels like finally understanding her own mind. Coughlan's other notable roles include the movie Barbie and the Channel 4 series Big Mood.
