Nicola Coughlan has shared a candid moment from the set where she unexpectedly broke down in tears while filming the hit Netflix series Bridgerton and Big Mood simultaneously.

While conversing with AP Entertainment, she shared, “I’d film one show during the week, the other on the weekend..”

The Derry Girls star added, “I remember that I was so tired, I would just start crying randomly,” adding. “And I would I would be saying, ‘There’s nothing actually wrong with me. I am just very tired.’ I had to learn my Big Mood script on the Bridgerton set.”

Coughlan continued that the back-and-forth shooting of Big Mood, and Bridgerton was difficult because the two shows are very different.

“Big Mood has quite naturalistic dialogue,” she explained.

“Bridgerton is very stylized. We’d film one in West London and one in East London. It was just bonkers. It was bonkers.”

Coughlan conversing along with Big Mood co-star, Lydia West, is set to play the one-woman show while filming the British series.

“I would just look at you, and you were like, the actress I wanted to become,” West told Coughlan. “You can learn your lines in [the makeup] chair.”

The Barbie star said about the skill, “I had no other time to do it,” she said. “I needed more hours in the day.”

It is worth noting here that Coughlan will play Penelope Bridgerton in season 3 of the Netflix series Bridgerton, which will release next month, and portrayed the role of Maggie in the UK’s Channel 4 comedy Big Mood, released in March.
