00:00Yeah, I mean, it was life-changing. It's been one of the most special things of my life.

00:09Every time I come back to set or I'm back with the cast and crew, we're here in London

00:14at the Season 3 premiere. It is a pinch-me moment. It really is, yeah.

00:20Speaking of pinch-me moments, my favourite thing to come out of all of this for you is

00:24your new Nespresso adverts alongside George Clooney. Did you meet him during those adverts

00:32or is it all movie magic and it's not in the same room?

00:34No, George was there.

00:36Please describe those moments to me.

00:38George is a really amazing guy and he gave me and Julia all the advice that we wanted

00:54in terms of our careers. He was also just a joy to be on set, to everyone, us, me and

01:00Julia, the crew. I really look up to him and his career, so I was honoured to work with

01:05him for the day and to ask him the questions that I had and for him to pass on his knowledge.

01:10Phenomenal. I want to see Season 2 and yourself as the lead and now we're passing the baton

01:14over to Nicola. Did you have any advice for them when they take up the front and centre

01:17role across Bridgerton?

01:19Yeah, I think my advice to them was that I'm here, we're all here to support them, to believe

01:26in yourselves as much as we believe in you and to follow your instincts. But they are

01:31both such pros and they are so, so talented. I'm so proud of them, the way that they have

01:36promoted this show together, carried it together, on set, off set. I really look up to them,

01:42they've really inspired me and the whole world. The response to the first four episodes has

01:46been insane, insane. I'm so proud of them.

01:49Thanks so much for your time. Enjoy today as well.

01:51Thank you so much.
