Nicola Coughlan delivered an absolutely perfect response to a fan calling her Bridgerton nude scenes "brave."
Coughlan plays romantic lead Penelope Featherington in the Netflix period drama, and with great romantic power comes lots of intimate scenes.
During a Q&A event in Dublin last week, a fan commented that Coughlan was "brave" to film the steamy scenes, and the actor's reaction had everyone cheering.
The Derry Girls star began:
“You know it is hard because I think women with my body type...women with perfect breasts..."
"We don’t get to see ourselves on screen enough and I’m very proud as a member of the perfect breast community."
"I hope you enjoy seeing them."
Iconic.

Needless to say, viewers of this clip celebrated Coughlan's epic response.

Just last month, Coughlan shut down body-shaming critics, telling Stylist:
“I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included."
"There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice."
"It just felt like the biggest ‘f**k you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering.”
Long may you reign, queen. 👑
