Buckle up, Bridgerton fans, because things are about to get steamy (and hilarious!) as we dive into the wild world of social media with none other than Luke Newton, the charming rogue who brings Colin Bridgerton to life.
In a recent video that's got the internet buzzing, Luke teams up with his Bridgerton co-star, the equally delightful Nicola Coughlan (our beloved Penelope Featherington!), for a game of "Compliment Battle." But trust us, these aren't your grandma's compliments.
From the moment the game begins, it's clear that Luke's charm and those oh-so-expressive eyebrows have inspired some, shall we say, passionate reactions from viewers.
“Sir, it is illegal to have those arms," one fan declared, prompting Nicola to burst into laughter.
And things only escalated from there, with marriage proposals, declarations of love, and even a few requests for Luke to star in a certain steamy Netflix period drama (we're looking at you, "Lady Chatterley's Lover" fans!).
But it was one particular tweet that sent Luke over the edge, giggling uncontrollability and struggling to maintain his composure.
“I'm finally gonna see your butt in my TV," the tweet read. "I've been waiting for years.”
Nicola, never one to miss a beat, chimed in, "How many years?"
"Probably four at least," Luke managed to sputter out between fits of laughter.
As the game continued, it became clear that Bridgerton fans are a creative and dedicated bunch, with nicknames for Luke ("Cozy Boy" being a personal favorite), theories about his on-screen persona ("Colin Bridgerton, Penelope's Slut" – we see you!), and even shout-outs to his adorable dog.
One fan, clearly impressed by Luke's fashion choices, gushed, "I am soft for your fashion boy era."
Another, overcome with emotion, simply declared, "I need him…like respectfully."
By the end of the video, it was clear that both Luke and Nicola were touched by the outpouring of affection from fans.
"We are like the biggest pair of softies," Nicola admitted, wiping away tears of laughter.
And Luke, ever the charmer, added, "Thank you guys, that is really nice."
This hilarious video is a testament to the power of "Bridgerton" and its ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level. It's a reminder that behind the lavish costumes and scandalous storylines are real people who are just as charming and relatable as the characters they portray.
So, thank you, Luke and Nicola, for reminding us that even in the world of high society and grand balls, a little bit of laughter (and a whole lot of thirst tweets) can go a long way!
