“Even though she comes across as fierce, people like that are sometimes the softest on the inside,” Simone informed British VogueNov 2. “They develop that skin because they’re vulnerable. You see her insecurities and fears. She’s f–king nervous and I think there’s strength in admitting that.”
Simone likewise hinted that audiences will get to see a more fragile side of her relationship with Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey, in season 3.
