“Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan told Kim Kardashian her inspiration for the show and the reality TV personality couldn’t have been more excited.
Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington on the hit Netflix series, tweeted Tuesday that the Kardashians “were a massive inspiration for the Featheringtons” and a common topic of conversation during the Regency-era drama montages.
He also claimed a link between his cotel on the show and a fact for Kardashian. “You’ve been part of the Bridgerton world for longer than you know,” Coughlan wrote.
Kardashian was very happy with the news.
“I’m freaking out !!!!!” she replied, to Coughlan’s delight and surprise, before asking if this would make her “an honorary duchess at Bridgerton.”
“Why, of course, Duchess Kardashian of Calabasas!” Coughlan replied, before jumping on the character as his alter ego on the show: “Lady Whistledown is delighted to declare you the true incomparable of the season.”
