As a brown girl, I just couldn’t stop myself from sobbing multiple times throughout season 2. I’m such a hopeless romantic, and love a romcom, but it had never truly occurred to me that I’d never seen a woman who looked like me being the main protagonist. Skin as dark as mine too. God, representation is so important. I’m so thankful for this storyline, Simone and Shonda for allowing this beautiful story to be told and for making us all feel worthy of being a viscountess ❤️
She’s great in Derry girls. It’s a show from our country Ireland, and you might need subtitles but it’s so funny. Her character is very neurotic and screechy , but she plays the part well
Especially 2 darker skinned Indian women~ I was worried they would keep POC in the background again this season. Happy to see more diversity in the main cast.
Yes, and the fact they are dark-skinned Indian women being portrayed as leading ladies (beautiful, desirable, feisty) is honestly groundbreaking. Bless Shonda Rhimes! What she's doing for entertainment is so important.
The cast was absolutely brilliant, I binged the entire show in one sitting. I was particularly blown away by Jonathan Bailey’s performance. Love love season 2!
I was quite surprised to know Johnny is gay. He has awesome chemistry onscreen with Simone. Loved book Edwina lot more than screen one but the actress seems wonderful
I can tell Kate and Anthony are going to be FIRE and have off the charts chemistry just from the way Simone and Johnny are giggling and having their own conversation. Actors who are besties offscreen tend to have MEGA chemistry onscreen
@@Dancediva240 She's currently a part of Sex Education so I think she's not foreign to doing sex scenes... Probably will just have to turn it up a notch and make it steamier for Bridgerton
ok whoever did the lighting for the interview deserves a raise. all the girls' skins looks absolutely radiant & glowy. not to mention they're all just naturally stunning
@@pliktl girl ofc they're wearing makeup, but these women have amazing facial features - insane jawlines, captivating eyes and very symmetrical faces. Makeup can't give you these
Yes agreed but I really don’t like Kate sorry to say this worst acting ever! I mean love her character but her acting is really bad 😔 no hates here!only my opinion
@@floralart79 I understand what you mean, she did feel a bit wooden at times but her scenes with Jonathan is where she shined. Their chemistry is truly wonderful.
Charithra saying she never imagined someone who looked like her would be in these outfits, makes me so sad. Regardless, she’s beautiful especially in her wedding dress.
How is it sad? It's European clothing and England wasn't particularly multi cultural/racial in the Regency especially in high society. I don't understand how it's upsetting? It's like a white person upset because they've never seen another white person in a jūnihitoe
it's so true, and kinda sad... Like a lot of people who study eng lit around the world are introduced to these amazing authors (Austen, Bronte sisters, dickens...) and their stories, and it's absolutely wonderful to see yourself (in a way) portrayed in these sort of tv shows/movies!
I mean, look at how Simone & Jonathan look at each other even on this interview. They have that chemistry and spark. The casting did a great job! Thank you Bridgerton!
@@edturner3615 yes, he even sais it during the interview. A spark and chemistry does not have to be romantic. They DO have a spark and an awesome chemistry! They probably became great friends during the filming! they look like 2 best friends who has secrets they share that nobodyy else knows, thats what they look like when they look at eachother.
@@marymachabeli1644 That doesn't mean they can't have chemistry. I mean look how they stare at each other, like they know things we don't 😆 They're gonna be the best couple in the series I think, like in the books!!
@@alicevl4013 Exactly! If anything, their chemistry is better because of that! They can openly flirt and not worry about any part of their behavior being wrong or too much or sending the wrong signals. Fantastic chemistry.
Not ashamed to say I binge-watched Season 2 in one sitting, went to bed, and the moment I woke up I started watching it over again. The script-writing, the conviction with which Bailey expressed his words, and the whole regency aesthetic is unbelievably captivating.
I've just finished it for the 2nd time now, and i think may start watching it again for the 3rd time. Kate and Anthony, honestly are just too much, it's sooo good. 💗😍💗😍💗😍 I cannot heap enough praise on Jonathan's performance 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌
@@LuvNickynGina4ever enemies to lovers may be the perfect love trope. Add in phenomenal actors, visionaries as directors, and a production crew that go above and beyond, you get a formula for success. I've never been this impacted by a romance series before I don't even know who I am anymore LOL
Oh my god even in this interview I can see Edwina and Kate in these actresses. So well cast. The actress playing Edwina is actually so sweet, talkative, charming and adorable and looks so much younger just the way she is described in the books, and Simone who plays Kate is naturally fiery, strong headed but mature and has this gravity about her just like Kate. Can't wait for season 2.
100%%% Everyone's talking about the chemistry between the actors for Anthony and Kate but I WOW the casting is super on point and really captured the essence of the sisters. I can't wait for Pall Mall!!!
@@val-schaeffer1117 I don’t think anyone would disagree this girl is beautiful ! I think the comment meant that it’s not just her looks that embody the character, because you see that a lot with tv shows. They pick attractive people that don’t match the vibe
In the Novell her look was described completly different... when I was seeing the first look, I just thought "why every time dark skin" It had made me feel so pushed "She has to be dark" because of the concept of the show She is great but it feels forced
Simone Ashley just seems so suave. That’s the only word I can think of to describe her. That part where she was like “and sexy, come on I’ll say it” the voice was just wow. Yes I am now officially a fan.
Omg! It’s as if acting where somehow all about embodying and inhabiting a character so convincingly that you believed everything they portrayed. Crazy!
@@LordIstar Why did you feel the need to mock Orora? Obviously, acting like you love onions when you dislike them is more difficult than acting like you love chocolate when it's your favorite food... The same goes for sexual orientation here, it's obviously easier to portray attraction to the gender you're drawn to than the one you're not. So she's giving credit where credit is due.
Damn I paused and was scrolling through the comments, and my heart kind of sank like I know I shouldn't but their chemistry is sooo good. I haven't seen the show only edits but I love the actor ❣️
Right? I bought The Viscount Who Loved Me right when I finished S1 And omg it was so great (I still have to read The Duke & I) I can’t wait for this season i really hope Netflix doesn’t disappoint us and ruin the show
@@marialondonooo i also like the story of Benedict and Sophie, An offer from a gentleman. It did not disappoint. my top 1 is Anthony's, 2 is Benedict's and 3rd Colin's (I'm a bit bias with this, because I'm inlove with Polin) 😄
@@sasikkaa Yes, I understand what you mean. But this bridgerton story is happening on a alternate universe. Where Black people was not slaves but Aristocrats. I find it really cute and it shows us that how everything could be different.
Man I was drooling hearing Jonathan's voice!! This is my first time hearing his real accent and he has such a deep voice which was surprising for me in a good way ofcourse.
Funnily enough, a lot of new people have actually gotten into this show because he voices a character in FFXIV and his performance is incredible. He sounds exactly like the character and it's great
Simone is the most naturally stunningly beautiful woman i have seen in my life. And she does justice to her strong character. Can't wait to see more of her.
i love how simone and jonathan look at one another. you can tell they are genuinely friends and have true chemistry both on and off the screen! so happy for both of them getting all the praise they deserve. of course love all of the cast, but i'm majorly in kanthony fan mode rn
Me too and I'm not South Asian. I've always had girl crushes on my South Asian friends - that poreless, soft dark skin, thick dark hair, dark expressive eyes. I felt so proud watching Kate Sharma represent ✊🏾✊🏿
It's been 2 weeks since Bridgerton and yet here I am still giggling like a fool because Simone and Jonathan's chemistry are just really off the charts!! I love their friendship so muchh!! 😭😭😭
And isn't it refreshing that there will be no "are they dating in real life"-speculation? No - just amazing actors bringing their chemistry to the screen.
"As a gay man I'll say now" Facts! And... it broke me. Jonathan is so effortlessly funny, I think all of his videos and interviews get me to smile, or snort a little bit
"...the biggest rake in London..." Simone immediately looks at Jonathan. "is about to meet his match" Jonathan sends a kiss to Simone. " in more ways than one" Very flirtatious giggling non-stop. "Look at these two brats" I feel that.
Binge-watched season 2!!! Loved it so much!!! Didn't think that I'll be able to fall in love with anyone else after Simon and Daphne's story, but omg, what a chemistry between Anthony and Kate!!!
Binged the entire show today, and despite late kiss (imo) I enjoyed this season! Cast was brilliant, Jonathan’s performance was incredible. And I’m SO GLAD they changed Anthony’s hair this season
It was so refreshing as a brown girl to see someone like me in a lead role AND nudity. I grew up thinking my body was gross because never saw in films or even mainstream adult entertainment. And of course any time there's a brown character boy or girl they are nerdy in Western media. Loved this show!!
I ‘liked’ your comment to help draw attention to it. But it makes me sad that you thought yourself unbeautiful because you didn’t see yourself represented in anything but unfavourable light. So brave & honest. I hope others who feel the same way as you did see your comment and realise their own unique loveliness. I also hope other production companies build on the way Shondaland has paved.
They are all so lovely! The chemistry between Jonathan/Simone is *chef's kiss*, and I'm so glad they're staying true to the books with Kate/Edwina's relationship. Their beautiful sisterhood (along with Kate's relationship with Mary) was one of the highlights of an already wonderful book!
FR like i felt like i was being sucked in and it was AMAZING i couldn't stop watching. With season 1 it took me so long to finish but this season was done in 1 day loll and i hope that s3 gives us even more like this season!
i am a different kind of brown (filipino to be specific) but watching bridgerton and seeing this kind of representation made me cry in so many scenes. i know how important representation is for one and my heart is completely full as i see so many people finding theirs in kate and edwina. 😭💛
I had no clue either. I have no "gaydar" at all. Is that even still a thing? I have no problem with it.....I just didn't know. He is so convincing as a straight man on the show. But that's why they call it "acting" right? smh
I literally watched this wondering "Why did I not see this video before?" and after I was finished, I realized I started watching it 50 seconds after it was posted lmao.. Anyway, I didn't know the two new actresses yet but they really seem fun. So excited for season two!
The casting is so perfect for the two sisters. Even for viewers who know nothing about the characters they can immediately tell Edwina is the naive, pretty, innocent girl and Kate is a mature, confident, woman. Big big props to the casting director
Simone is so gorgeous And she has that perfect no nonsense attitude of Kate She's such a versatile actress also Last week I saw her as Oliva in S.E And in this week she is rocking as kate What a queen 😍😍
The second season is SO MUCH BETTER than the first season!!! I wasn’t going to watch season 2 anymore because I really didn’t like season 1, but I’m so glad I gave it another chance!! Now it’s one of my favorite shows! Congratulations to all of them!! I hope season 3 is even better!
Just finished watching S1 & S2 for the 2nd time and I must say Jonathan Bailey & Simone Ashley’s chemistry was off the charts!! They totally encapsulated the longing and passion that Kate and Anthony had with their each other that I think a lot of us was disappointed initially because WE WANTED MORE KATE AND ANTHONY ON SCREEN! 😍
Salute to Netflix to come up with series and films, where men and women of different ethnicities and gender identities are represented as normal characters! There is something for Hollywood mainstream to learn from this!
Oh man...season 2 is excellent!!!!! The chemistry of all the characters is off the charts! I love lady bridgerton and lady Bradbury's friendship!!! And true to a Shondaland media form....I dehydrated from crying more tears than my body can produce!..
Anthony and Kate's book is my favorite of the whole series. I'm so excited to watch it unfold on screen. I demand Newton! Don't let me down Netflix. Newton is a must!!!!
Kate and Anthony, Simone and Jonathan idk how to choose, the books are literally so good, wasn't expecting Simone to come from Sex Ed to Bridgerton 😍, I just hope that all the new cast members remain till the end of the series and not just leave the series.
Same i love all the books, all the couples are unique and everything came together so good in the book. I just can't wait for all the books to come to the screen
I’m so impressed! The vibe among them all is sooo just what it needs to be… honestly the story of Anthony and Kate is my favorite book and I go back to it the most! Really looking forward to this!
My expectations were so low when I started watching the first episode of Bridgerton and now I’m giggling like a lil girl. Can’t wait for the second season!!! Such a heart-warming show
6:01: Did Jonny wink & blow a kiss 😘 to Simone? I hope he did 😍😍😍😍😍 When they talk about lamb/mutton chops or sideburns, it's soo funnyyyy 😂😂😂😂😂. They all seem to get along sooo well and I can tell that Jonny & Simone are BFFs by the way he genuinely laughs the moment she mentions "lamb chops".
I SWEAR they really fell in love with each other and have had a few heart to hearts about it because how can you not talk about how you have such a powerful and organic connection with someone
Whoever did Simone and Charithra's makeup for this interview needs to be hired to takeover for the show makeup. Simone's face ACTUALLY matches her body unlike in season 2. Please stop making the desi Indian girl orange or darker. Her skin colour is gorgeous as is and should be enhanced, not hidden under layers of the wrong foundation.
I tell you if Johnny wasn’t gay the Internet will be popping off right now and shipping Simone and Johnny 👩🏾🤝👨🏻 i honestly feel like they are twin flames i cannot lie to you their chemistry is unmatched!
@@trinaf6530 I caught that! So many actors still staying in the closet for fear of losing out on roles like these. Gutsy guy! Thousands of frustrated women though!
Edwina is so beautiful, I thought it was lighting that makes her skin glows in the film, but I can see how it’s her gorgeous skin when sitting among the other casts. I hope she’ll get a bigger role in Season 3❤️
I'm so incredibly proud to see Tamil girl representation in international TV, in recent times, Simone Ashley, Charithra Chandran and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Growing up, I very rarely saw movie and TV women leads of my complexion (pan-India). For a good 10 years during my teens and early twenties, I wore only black and navy blue clothes because 'light colours don't suit my skin tone'. To see these women as leads, see their beauty showcased along with powerful storylines, makes me feel more beautiful and strong! Representation matters!
this is so ridiculous because if anything light, bright colors look even more gorgeous on dark skin, which the bridgerton stylists knew by putting the sharma sisters in such bright tones like pink, orange, purple and red!!
@@solihassen3294 You're absolutely right. Only it took me a good 20 years to realise with being conditioned to think that way all my life. From babies to brides, everyone wants only the 'fair' kind in South Asia. So took a lot to break away from that toxic cycle for myself and for my daughter!
As a brown girl, I just couldn’t stop myself from sobbing multiple times throughout season 2. I’m such a hopeless romantic, and love a romcom, but it had never truly occurred to me that I’d never seen a woman who looked like me being the main protagonist. Skin as dark as mine too.

I agree🥺 such a beautiful thing to see, as an Indian girl too, seeing her was so validating to my younger self who was obsessed with fantasy
i agree as a brown girl too i feel exactly the same
bro CHARITHRA LOOKS FKN GORGEOUS I WANT HER IN A TOLLYWOOD MOVIE
AND OMFG KATHANI, SIMP.
They are both sooooo stunning
We are in 21st century and it’s normalized 😇
I love to see 'penelope' so confident. she is able to portray such a shy and insecure girl. This is such good acting
She’s great in Derry girls. It’s a show from our country Ireland, and you might need subtitles but it’s so funny. Her character is very neurotic and screechy , but she plays the part well
@@raindropsonroses3919 no stop bc derry girls is actually one of my favorite shows its so funny for no reaseon im so excited for the next season!
Yes and Simone is so soft and giggly and not like Kate as well!
I literally can't stand her in Bridgerton lol to vindictive for me but she seems cool here.
As a black woman I am so happy to see an Dark skin Indian woman play the lead role instead of being the nerdy Indian girl.
I'm Bangladeshi and I'm glad to see South Asian women being represented in a different manner.
As an Indian woman thank you for this sentiment! I completely agree
Especially 2 darker skinned Indian women~ I was worried they would keep POC in the background again this season. Happy to see more diversity in the main cast.

Especially a dark skinned south Indian women and not some fair actress from Bollywood
@@zaihussain9069 shes Tamil
It's been 2 weeks since Bridgerton and yet here I am still giggling like a fool because Simone and Jonathan's chemistry are just really off the charts!! I love their friendship so muchh!! 😭😭😭
Me too.😄 They are adorable.
Awww she is exactly how I imagined Edwina from the books ~ petite, heart face, sparkly eyes, blushy cheeks, so adorbs!
She’s too cute 🥰
Simone and Jonathan saying they are besties 😭❤️ i love this friendship so much. Their chemistry is perfect i can't wait to see them on screen 🙏
And isn't it refreshing that there will be no "are they dating in real life"-speculation? No - just amazing actors bringing their chemistry to the screen.
@@mariakuntzsch403 yesss
I love the chemistry between Simone and Anthony and the way she says "yeah we are the best of friends" it's so cute 😁
So cute 😂❤
Charithra seems so well put together, almost as perfect as her image in the movie.
she's a smart cookie too!
They couldn’t have casted someone more perfect for the role in my opinion
"As a gay man I'll say now"
Facts! And... it broke me. Jonathan is so effortlessly funny, I think all of his videos and interviews get me to smile, or snort a little bit
Jonathan is gay ?
@@nyerovwoogunje2470 Yes he is
@@nyerovwoogunje2470 Which makes his performance as a horny straight guy all the more brilliant 😁
@@karaboslife5269 WHAT? WHEN? DID HE SAY?
@@karaboslife5269 nvm... It's really up on the internet.. I must have missed it
"...the biggest rake in London..."
Simone immediately looks at Jonathan.
"is about to meet his match"
Jonathan sends a kiss to Simone.
" in more ways than one"
Very flirtatious giggling non-stop.
"Look at these two brats"
I feel that.
Yesssss!!! 😭❤️🤭🤩 Love it!!!
Their chemistry is 100% gold
Ikr!! They're so delightful to watch!
The chemistry between them is insane
Oh I missed the kiss!
Binge-watched season 2!!! Loved it so much!!! Didn't think that I'll be able to fall in love with anyone else after Simon and Daphne's story, but omg, what a chemistry between Anthony and Kate!!!
I was convinced they had made a grave mistake by not having Simon return, but I so happy to say I was wrong. Anthony and Kate were remarkable.
Same!!
@@EJay8906 i felt the opposite lol. I loved the first season except for the two leads 😅
Binged the entire show today, and despite late kiss (imo) I enjoyed this season! Cast was brilliant, Jonathan’s performance was incredible. And I’m SO GLAD they changed Anthony’s hair this season
It was so refreshing as a brown girl to see someone like me in a lead role AND nudity. I grew up thinking my body was gross because never saw in films or even mainstream adult entertainment. And of course any time there's a brown character boy or girl they are nerdy in Western media. Loved this show!!
💯
I ‘liked’ your comment to help draw attention to it. But it makes me sad that you thought yourself unbeautiful because you didn’t see yourself represented in anything but unfavourable light. So brave & honest. I hope others who feel the same way as you did see your comment and realise their own unique loveliness. I also hope other production companies build on the way Shondaland has paved.
Simone Ashley is drop dead gorgeous. I’m so gutted I’m on the last episode, I wish there were more episodes.
They are all so lovely! The chemistry between Jonathan/Simone is *chef's kiss*, and I'm so glad they're staying true to the books with Kate/Edwina's relationship. Their beautiful sisterhood (along with Kate's relationship with Mary) was one of the highlights of an already wonderful book!
I agree, the relationship of the two sisters was so beautiful, and by extension the Sharma family. What a beautiful stepmother too
the chemistry and tension this season was INSANE everyone did a great job I was NOT dissappointed and I really hope there will be more
FR like i felt like i was being sucked in and it was AMAZING i couldn't stop watching. With season 1 it took me so long to finish but this season was done in 1 day loll and i hope that s3 gives us even more like this season!
I can't get enough when Simone called Anthony's side burns "lamb chops" 🤣
i am a different kind of brown (filipino to be specific) but watching bridgerton and seeing this kind of representation made me cry in so many scenes. i know how important representation is for one and my heart is completely full as i see so many people finding theirs in kate and edwina. 😭💛
Jonathan Bailey as Prince Eric would be a dream come true, his acting is so good that I can picture him doing the role perfectly
Only if Simone is Ariel! ♥️
He’s a great actor… I had no clue he was gay. There chemistry as Anthony and Kate will be amazing.
I literally just watched the part he said he was gay as I read your comment. I didn’t know either!
I had no clue either. I have no "gaydar" at all. Is that even still a thing? I have no problem with it.....I just didn't know. He is so convincing as a straight man on the show. But that's why they call it "acting" right? smh
@@thelawofdivineoneness458 yeah. Same as actor who plays Gaston- the actor is gay as well but you wouldn’t know
@@19521962 what's his real name?
His acting is flawless, love him gay are not, he is a man with passion and he plays it well.
I literally watched this wondering "Why did I not see this video before?" and after I was finished, I realized I started watching it 50 seconds after it was posted lmao..
Anyway, I didn't know the two new actresses yet but they really seem fun. So excited for season two!
I love his voice. He looks more amazing to me in this look, change in hairstyle and all.
The casting is so perfect for the two sisters. Even for viewers who know nothing about the characters they can immediately tell Edwina is the naive, pretty, innocent girl and Kate is a mature, confident, woman. Big big props to the casting director
They deserve their own photoshoot just like Bridgerton 1 and 3!
Simone is so gorgeous
And she has that perfect no nonsense attitude of Kate
She's such a versatile actress also
Last week I saw her as Oliva in S.E
And in this week she is rocking as kate
What a queen 😍😍
I would listen to a whole podcast with these four. Their voices are so pleasing to hear.
The flowers as the back drop in this interview is absolutely gorgeous!!
The second season is SO MUCH BETTER than the first season!!! I wasn’t going to watch season 2 anymore because I really didn’t like season 1, but I’m so glad I gave it another chance!! Now it’s one of my favorite shows! Congratulations to all of them!! I hope season 3 is even better!
the set designers for these netflix press sets fill me with unadultered pure joy
Jonathan Bailey’s voice tho 🥰😍
Simone and Jonathan Bailey are so cute!!! I love that they get along well
Just finished watching S1 & S2 for the 2nd time and I must say Jonathan Bailey & Simone Ashley’s chemistry was off the charts!! They totally encapsulated the longing and passion that Kate and Anthony had with their each other that I think a lot of us was disappointed initially because WE WANTED MORE KATE AND ANTHONY ON SCREEN! 😍
Yes More Kate and Anthony next season please at least a wedding and wedding bliss
Salute to Netflix to come up with series and films, where men and women of different ethnicities and gender identities are represented as normal characters! There is something for Hollywood mainstream to learn from this!
Shonda Rhimes too 👏👏
Well said, I Couldn’t agree more
Oh man...season 2 is excellent!!!!! The chemistry of all the characters is off the charts! I love lady bridgerton and lady Bradbury's friendship!!! And true to a Shondaland media form....I dehydrated from crying more tears than my body can produce!..
*15 secs into video*
Thoughts:
1. Charithra is stunning
2. There is some serious chemistry between the two on the couch
WHO?!
@@lilianal410 Kate and Anthony. The guy and the girl sitting next to each other on the couch
@@ElleBoogie_
He is gay but they match very well
Right? If I was his boyfriend, I'd feel some type of way. 😏
@@ameliemarie1953 Yeah, if he wasn't I would have shipped Jonathan and Simone too. They look so cute together.
Anthony and Kate's book is my favorite of the whole series. I'm so excited to watch it unfold on screen. I demand Newton! Don't let me down Netflix. Newton is a must!!!!
I’’ so excited, really love this couple, Anthony and Kate.
I've seen a picture! Newton is there!
My only critique of Season 2 is that we didn''t get enough of Anthony and Kate
I’m SO excited seeing interracial couples in a show like Bridgerton 😭🙌🏽
Simon and Daphne…
@@urangmyphone265 They said “couples”.
Love has no color…
Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but Simone Ashley has the most amazing voice. Oh, and great shoulders, too. She is the total package.
man...Simone is seriously stunning and on top of that has such gravitas in her personality...
Kate and Anthony, Simone and Jonathan idk how to choose, the books are literally so good, wasn't expecting Simone to come from Sex Ed to Bridgerton 😍, I just hope that all the new cast members remain till the end of the series and not just leave the series.
Same i love all the books, all the couples are unique and everything came together so good in the book. I just can't wait for all the books to come to the screen
@@dania421 I hope so too
If you read the book they all have just a few lines in each book or not at all
I’m so impressed! The vibe among them all is sooo just what it needs to be… honestly the story of Anthony and Kate is my favorite book and I go back to it the most! Really looking forward to this!
I want to see an interview with just Simone and Jonathan they seem to have a fun and great relationship.
I would have shipped them but Jonathan swings the other way, their acting is so good!
I've never been so sad about someone being gay. I shipped them so hard!

OMG Simone Ashley is absolutely stunning, her skin color is to die for! She's so elegant... I've a big crush on her ✨
Love the show
@@nanacheryl1 Me too !
My expectations were so low when I started watching the first episode of Bridgerton and now I’m giggling like a lil girl. Can’t wait for the second season!!! Such a heart-warming show
6:01: Did Jonny wink & blow a kiss 😘 to Simone? I hope he did 😍😍😍😍😍
When they talk about lamb/mutton chops or sideburns, it's soo funnyyyy 😂😂😂😂😂. They all seem to get along sooo well and I can tell that Jonny & Simone are BFFs by the way he genuinely laughs the moment she mentions "lamb chops".
Yes he did!❤️
I SWEAR they really fell in love with each other and have had a few heart to hearts about it because how can you not talk about how you have such a powerful and organic connection with someone
Whoever did Simone and Charithra's makeup for this interview needs to be hired to takeover for the show makeup. Simone's face ACTUALLY matches her body unlike in season 2. Please stop making the desi Indian girl orange or darker. Her skin colour is gorgeous as is and should be enhanced, not hidden under layers of the wrong foundation.
Yes! The bad makeup in the show was distracting.
Exactly, I was wondering if indian ever looked like that orangish dark paint like in real life? It looked more like dead make up in Tamil movies
@@cherryvintage4888 Bahahahahah @ dead make up in Tamil movies
I hated how matte and dull they made her lips. I think they may have gone overboard with the shimmer product which has bronzey to orange overtones.
I tell you if Johnny wasn’t gay the Internet will be popping off right now and shipping Simone and Johnny 👩🏾🤝👨🏻 i honestly feel like they are twin flames i cannot lie to you their chemistry is unmatched!
He's gay??! 😭😭😭 I'm fuming. Ok so they're basically very good at their job because the chemistry is 🔥🔥
@@munab3666 Yeah, he said it in the video.
When he said he was gay I was like WHAT
@@trinaf6530 thank you! I was like WAT for the rest of the interview!
@@trinaf6530 I caught that! So many actors still staying in the closet for fear of losing out on roles like these. Gutsy guy! Thousands of frustrated women though!
⚠️⚠️Ashley and Jonathan! You two have a chemistry in real life 😃 I hope I'm not the only one to see that
Edwina is so beautiful, I thought it was lighting that makes her skin glows in the film, but I can see how it’s her gorgeous skin when sitting among the other casts. I hope she’ll get a bigger role in Season 3❤️
Casting was amazing and so was the chemistry between Kate and Anthony. Eloise remain the favorite character for in both the seasons.
6:00 !!! KATE AND ANTHONY!!! THE CHEMISTRY IS JUSTTTT OOOFFFF 😭😭🤩🤩🤩🤭🤭🤭 CANT WAIT!
Simone is one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen. That feminine aura she holds ✨cheffs kiss✨
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ she is cute not Beautiful
@@Pass1404 for me she is

Kate and Anthony DEFINITELY had much more chemistry than Simon and Daphne
Loved the second season more 😅
Much more!
I'm so happy because the casting is just amazing and its so diverse . The representation >>>>>>>>>
The casting is racism...
@@sasikkaa how?
@@sasikkaa the only racism is coming from you, with all the nasty racist and white supremacist comments you've left in this comment section!
These actors are so professional, graceful and humble. So refreshing!
Thank you!
Watched the whole season in one day ❤️❤️ like I have no words just so amazing, I want a love story just like theres
I'm so incredibly proud to see Tamil girl representation in international TV, in recent times, Simone Ashley, Charithra Chandran and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. Growing up, I very rarely saw movie and TV women leads of my complexion (pan-India). For a good 10 years during my teens and early twenties, I wore only black and navy blue clothes because 'light colours don't suit my skin tone'. To see these women as leads, see their beauty showcased along with powerful storylines, makes me feel more beautiful and strong! Representation matters!
this is so ridiculous because if anything light, bright colors look even more gorgeous on dark skin, which the bridgerton stylists knew by putting the sharma sisters in such bright tones like pink, orange, purple and red!!
@@solihassen3294 You're absolutely right. Only it took me a good 20 years to realise with being conditioned to think that way all my life. From babies to brides, everyone wants only the 'fair' kind in South Asia. So took a lot to break away from that toxic cycle for myself and for my daughter!
SOUTH INDIAN* BRUH SIMONE ISNT EVEN TAMILIAN FFS
@@na-hg3ch Her name is Simone Ashwini Pillai, daughter of Indian Tamil parents, Latha and Gunasekharan Pillai. FFS, look it up.
Seeing them in pastels was a revelation for me (a brown woman) as well. How weird is that?
The actress that plays Penelope looks STUNNING in that dress! And her hair 💜 gosh she’s so pretty. They all are, really!
Simone and Jonathan just have the best chemistry on and off screen i loveee
Charithra and Simones voices match so well with how their characters are written.
Jonathan Bailey you are so handsome, I cant wait to see Bridgerton season 2 asap
I can’t wait to see season 2 !! The chemistry of Simone and Jonathan is trough the roof !
I love seeing Simone and Jonathan is always giggling about something they both found funny just by looking at each other..
Representation matters. This is so cool! The chemistry is there. I have been smiling the entire video. ❤️
Season 2 was the best season of "Bridgerton" so far! Sending love to the cast and crew!
