00:00Mi chiamo Lady Whistledown. Non mi conoscete e non mi conoscerete mai, ma vi avverto gentili lettori, io di certo
00:12conosco voi.
00:19So, first of all, can you tell me what attracted you most of this project?
00:24The first thing I think when it got sent through is you see period drama, which is anyone's dream come
00:30true. I've loved period dramas for a long time.
00:31And then you see Netflix and you just think this is going to be really well supported creatively and otherwise.
00:37And then Shondaland is the thing that sealed the deal because I think they've always been so good at being
00:41inclusive and diverse and they always represent the society in which we live in.
00:46So to be able to do that through a 19th century lens meant that it was a no brainer.
00:52So according to you, how much and why Bridgerton is different from other period dramas?
00:57I think that Bridgerton exists in a different genre, I think, to period dramas that I've seen before.
01:02It's very romantic. It's all about identity within love, how people can come together and love each other and it
01:13not be right or, you know, it can be worked through.
01:16And I think that as being the through line exploration means that it's very it's pumping heart and it's very
01:24warm.
01:24And I think it's and it's and it's full. Some period dramas feel quite like there's a distance between all
01:30the characters.
01:31And then here everyone's really striving for for happiness and for understanding.
01:36Yeah, it's an exciting and warm bath of variety.
01:42About your character, how much do you have in common with him?
01:47We both have the ability to grow mutton chops.
01:53No, you know, funnily enough, I come from a quite big family, but I'm the youngest.
01:59So I don't inherently, although we both have a love for our families and siblings, which I really share with
02:06him.
02:07There's not that much really that we share other than he's got a naughty side.
02:12And he has, you know, he's got a taste for sort of subterranean.
02:18He likes to drink. I mean, I'm making it sound like I'm an alcoholic.
02:22But I think I think me and Anthony would have a good night out.
02:25Did you have any modest in mind to be someone who inspired you?
02:31Yeah, good question.
02:33Maybe maybe Johnny Depp as he is.
02:37I think I think he's so sort of in his head and he's really there's something about him that, you
02:45know, I think he's I think he's incredibly transparent as I read it.
02:48But he lives in a world where, especially for men, you know, with the flick of a hair and a
02:54buttoning of a jacket, he can make himself look like he has got his armor on and that he's he's
02:59infallible.
03:00But he's you know, he's he's a small boy in a big body.
03:05And he has got a lot to learn.
03:08But the idea of him constantly thinking and worrying, he's very anxious.
03:13So, yeah, the idea of someone who's in their own head, I think that's the sort of people who inspired
03:19me.
03:19Did you know the novels before getting the part or did you read them afterwards?
03:25No, I hadn't. I read I read a bit of the first book before meeting Shonda Shondaland in America.
03:34And yeah, but again, like the moment that you look into Julia Quinn series, you realize the fandom and huge
03:42Brazilian fan base.
03:45So, yeah, the moment you go in, there's so much. It's such an expansive world that it was it's something
03:51really like safe and secure, knowing that you're going into something that's really loved.
03:55Do you have a favorite moment or scene for your characters in the first season?
04:01I really enjoy the milk scene. I enjoy the moments where because there's so much going on and there's so
04:10much passion in his in his extra activities outside of the family, should we say.
04:16And there's so much that he has to, you know, he's exerting constant control and trying to over his mother
04:23and his sisters and siblings.
04:24But the moments where he sits down and really talks to both Colin and Daphne, Daphne downstairs in the kitchen
04:30and Colin later in the series when they have a drink, it's a quick scene.
04:35But those moments of real openness, I really, really enjoyed because hopefully it gives it gives a sign of the
04:41man, you know, he is to become.
04:43Is there one thing you absolutely love of that period and one that you are grateful is different today?
04:51Oh, gosh, I think the idea, you know, the idea that you need for women to have to have a
04:58man in order to validate themselves and the idea of this quick narrative that everyone's born into, especially women, that
05:06they don't even have a second to breathe or to think about who they are and what they want.
05:10And I think I'm really glad that, you know, especially in our society in the UK, that is there's so
05:17much less pressure in that way.
05:18I'm sure in the world there's still those those expectations put on women.
05:22But the thing that I'm I'm glad of is the celebration of family, I think that that's something that's never
05:30going to change.
05:31And that's something that's so instinctive in humanity. And that's something that Bridgerton as a show celebrates.
05:36I think the idea of being a part of something and having even through all of the trials and tribulations
05:43of love and all the problems with the society that they live in.
05:46There's a group of eight kids and their mother who will be with each other no matter what.
05:51And I think that's something that's really lovely.
