Nicola Coughlan's Journey From Galway to Derry Girls to Bridgerton | Made In Ireland

Publicado 2020-12-31
Nicola Coughlan - star of Derry Girls and Netflix's Bridgerton - takes us on a personal tour of her life in Ireland, going back to where it all began in Galway.

In her episode of Made In Ireland, Nicola reveals how a camcorder gifted to her by her older brother kicked started her love of the arts. From there we learn how she got her big break, how she made Derry Girl Claire come to life, and what it means to her to be a Featherington.

We visit some of her favourite places, including her family home, her primary school, and her university. Along the way we meet the siblings who encouraged her, the primary school teacher who guided her, and the best friend she still has to this day.

BRIDGERTON
The eight close-knit siblings of the Bridgerton family look for love and happiness in London high society. Inspired by Julia Quinn's bestselling novels, Nicola Coughlan plays Penelope Featherington.

    I adored her in Derry Girls and she was really the reason that I tuned in to Bridgerton! I was so excited that she got “that” role! I can’t wait for Pen and Colin’s season!!!!
  • @maiaknox4368
    Until Nicola, I’d never seen an actress close to my height (5’1) and body type playing leading roles. It means a lot to me to see someone who looks like me on TV. I’m so happy for her and her continued success.

    Nicola is a pure Irish treasure!🇮🇪 I can't believe that she's almost 34, she looks incredibly youthful for her age. I love hearing her natural accent, I'm so used to hearing Clare's nervous Derry twang! 😂
  • @johnhaymer5056
    I love her in all her roles and hope she gets a movie that really allows her to shine and introduce her to the world. Good luck .
  • @AdrinaValeda
    I’m literally fangirling her right now. Such a beautiful personality
  • @isabelleer7501
    She sounds like a director!!! Hope she directs someday!!!
  • @Rayna429
    Every character in Bridgerton is unforgettable. You can tell they ALL take pride in the project and their craft. Truly refreshing to watch & Nicola was absolutely adorable even when she was being a crafty minx
  • I was stunned when i learnt she is 34 and plays half her age in bridgerton. Never could I have doubted her age, she played the part of Penelope flawlessly and effortlessly. She is the real "diamond of the first waters".
  • @allyson1691
    Besides her being a top class human being and deserving of all her success, 2 things stood out to me. The power of a teacher in a persons life. All the people in her life who are just honestly happy for her success and rotting for her. This is what the world needs more of. 💖
  • My heart kicked in my stomach for a second when they showed NUIG. I did a semester at the school in 2016 (I’m American), and I sincerely miss is. Keep having dreams I’m back in Galway, and I need to stop kicking dirt and go back for a visit. I only lived in Ireland for four months, but Galway still has an element of “home” to me. Blew my mind away when I found out two weeks ago Nicola’s from Galway and did NUIG time!
  • My friend was checking her out on the till in tesco the last day and didnt realise it was nicola until she asked her for id, she was very embarrassed to have just asked a 33 year old for her id and the fact that it was The Clare Devlin from Derry girls only added to it
  • @musicismylovee14
    “Last time we were at university was...2008?” Me: Wait what? googles Nicola’s age How is she 34?!?!
  • @vandy5206
    I love how she can play teenagers and nobody questions it. I kind of felt like Eloise might've been a bit older but u could've told me she was 21 irl and I would've believed it.
  • @lonelypotato6175
    i fell in love with nicola in bridgerton (quite literally) and i can’t wait for her season in may. i’m now watching derry girls and will follow all her upcoming projects :)
  • @RailinX
    I love Nicola’s amazing talent and how sweet she is and what a great inspiration for women everywhere. It’s so great to see she has such a wonderful family and friends supporting her.
  • @abaddonnnnn
    I was shaken to my core when I found out she’s 33 🥴 I literally thought she was like 18-20
  • Nicola is absolutely adorable. I loved seeing her in "Bridgerton." She stole the show, imo. Love from California!
  • @mchjsosde
    I think she is one of the most beautiful actresses I've ever watched! And yet her talent outshines even her natural looks
