Nicola Coughlan Says 'Bridgerton' Almost Didn't Let Her Film 'Barbie'

Nicola Coughlan doesn’t know what the original plan was for her in ‘Barbie’ but says her role on ‘Bridgerton’ limited her to a cameo

Coughlan, 37, appeared on the show alongside Spice Girl Mel B, who quickly took over the interview, leading to host Patrick Kielty briefly and humorously walking off set. All eyes have been on the cast of Bridgerton since the period drama’s premiere, leaving viewers with questions about Phoebe Dynevor, Regé-Jean Page and more of their costars’ offscreen love lives. “When I found out [ Greta Gerwig] wanted to have me be part of @barbiethemovie, and then that I probably wouldn’t be able to make it work because of my schedule I was firstly elated and quickly heartbroken,” Coughlan explained in an Instagram post last July.
