00:00Hello, how are you?
00:01Happy Valentine's Day!
00:02Thank you very much.
00:03How are you doing?
00:04Not really good.
00:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06I missed it.
00:07I'm very, very excited.
00:08As you know, I've been an OG fan of Bridgerton since day one.
00:12How special is it as an actor getting to continue on in this journey and now stepping into the
00:18main Bridgerton lead in season four?
00:20I know, I know.
00:21It's amazing.
00:22I was talking to Claudia about this the other day.
00:26We were talking with Flo, actually.
00:28Florence plays Hyacinth.
00:30She was saying, is this the longest part you've ever played?
00:33And I was, yeah, I mean, obviously.
00:35I've played this part for six years now and it's probably the longest part I'll ever play,
00:39you know, in terms of like that.
00:41So it's amazing to get that sort of long run up and then to be able to, you know, tell
00:46the story in full Technicolor.
00:48I think it's really exciting.
00:50And let's get all lobby-dobby about Bridgerton because it's Valentine's Day.
00:53Why not?
00:54What has this role and being a part of this world and this show meant to you?
00:59It's huge.
01:01It's huge.
01:02I think as an actor, what you want to do is live in people's imaginations.
01:09That's sort of like the lovely thing about the job.
01:12And to get to do that on that scale, to live in, you know, millions of people's imaginations,
01:19I mean, it's life-changing.
01:22And it feels like it's just so fulfilling.
01:24It's probably the most, I feel like, a very fulfilled actor.
01:28And tell me, what is the secret to the Bridgerton chemistry?
01:32Because it's insane.
01:33Good casting.
01:34I think it's just sensitive, careful, thought-through casting.
01:39So there's a whole team behind it that are very carefully built.
01:43Not just like in terms of physical resemblance but also just, you know, finding that team
01:48that will work.
01:49So, yeah, it's them.
01:51Well, I need to let you get on but I cannot wait to see what's in store.
01:55Yeah, same.
01:56Happy Valentine's Day.
01:58See you later.
