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.
