DO NOT turn on the television.
Its literally written into my contract, she said.

People think Im like saying it as a joke.
I just dont want to.
I grew up Irish Catholic.

Thats just not how we vibe.
When she first sawBridgerton, she didnt know it was gonna be so saucy, Coughlan recalled.
And she was like, What is this?
But then, now she thinks its fantastic and really funny, and she keeps talking about bottoms.

Coughlan cant stop her parents from watching everything.
And I had avoided showing her that.
And I was like, Okay, well I cant control that anymore.’
We did break a piece of furniture while doing one of those scenes, she said.
So we felt super.
They were actually really enjoyable.
I didnt think they would be.
