Hold onto your bonnets, “Bridgerton” fans, because Luke Newton, aka the charming Colin Bridgerton, just revealed juicy details about Season 3's most anticipated romance! In a candid interview, Luke dished on everything from his hilarious on-set prank war with Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington) to the surprising comfort of filming intimate scenes with a close friend.
One thing's for sure: Luke Newton wasn't about to let Colin Bridgerton's glow-up happen solely on-screen. After reading Benedict's now-iconic line in the script – "Under what foreign sun did you apparently get so sturdy?" – Luke knew it was time to hit the gym.
“I saw that line and thought, 'Okay, Luke, you better get to work!'" he confessed with a laugh.
While he admits to initially dreading those grueling workouts, Luke now embraces the benefits, even playfully comparing his physique to his Marvel superhero interviewer’s.
But it wasn't just about physical transformation. Colin's journey from a boyishly charming gentleman to a smoldering romantic lead required a shift in mindset. And nobody, it seems, found the humor in this transformation more than Nicola Coughlan.
During the interview, Luke revealed a hilarious behind-the-scenes prank war with his co-star and real-life bestie, Nicola.
