Actress Nicola Coughlan recently shared candid insights about her teenage insecurities, revealing that she once felt self-conscious about her forehead and even considered undergoing surgery to reduce its size.
In an interview, the 38-year-old Bridgerton star opened up about her struggle with body image during her younger years. “As a woman, there’s always something new that you should suddenly be self-conscious about,” Coughlan said. “I remember, as a teenager, being obsessed with my forehead. I thought it was so ugly and vowed to get forehead reduction surgery when I was older.”
The actress, now known for her role in the hit Netflix series, also shared a powerful message about the unrealistic beauty standards often perpetuated by celebrity culture. She cautioned fans against comparing themselves to celebrities seen on red carpets, describing it as nothing more than a “fantasy.”
One of the key lessons she’s learned from her work on Bridgerton is the importance of perspective. “Everyone looks flawless, but of course we do! We get our make-up checked every three minutes, our hair is reset constantly. What you see [on the red carpet] is the work of a team of professionals. It’s a fantasy,” Coughlan explained.
The interview comes just days after Coughlan made her relationship with boyfriend Jake Dunn official on social media, sharing a heartfelt birthday tribute for his 25th. The actress took to her Instagram Stories to express her love and celebrate his special day.
