Soobin Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Quote When he joined “Bridgerton” as the brooding Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey had an instinct that the show was going to be something special. But he couldn’t have predicted quite how big the Regency period drama would become, particularly in its second season, which focuses on Anthony’s will-they-or-won’t-they courtship with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). Initially, he was drawn to the “Holy Trinity” of Netflix, Shondaland and the fact that it was a period piece, but the opportunity to shine a light on romance as a more serious genre was an added bonus. “[I loved] the romance genre being given this platform — it’s always been seen as quite a lightweight literature,” the actor says, speaking from a theater in London where he’s starring in a revival of a Mike Bartlett play. “Of course, it’s fluffy because it’s accessible and it’s hopefully something that you can bathe in. But at the same time, it can really tap into very human, very private and very high-stakes human experiences.” He adds, “There’s a lot of pressure on romance, I think, because you have to be so truthful. But that’s what you want, isn’t it? You just want to find the truth in everything.” Read the full interview here.

Espresso Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Ugh, I know Shonda still needs a ****ing show and he's probably stuck in contract (maybe wants a steady gig unike Rege-Jean) but he's A STAR. I need a complete change-out of the same dozen white guys overexposed right now on film (no, not that way, but that's always great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMadeYouReadThis Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Urgh I love that he's getting so much attention but I'm also sad that he's no longer the theatre community's little secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
