Bridgerton star Golda Rosheuvel says when beginning out within the trade she was advised that revealing she was homosexual would “ruin your career as an actor”.
The actress, who performs Queen Charlotte within the hit Netflix sequence stated the recommendation, given to her by a lesbian director “blew my mind”.
Chatting with the Simply For Selection podcast, she recalled the dialogue with the director.
“We were talking about being out and proud and representation and whether I should say I was gay in interviews,” she stated.
She added: “I might relatively lose a job than not be true to who I’m. I’d relatively not work in an trade that doesn’t settle for me… It simply wasn’t how I used to be raised.
“And then her being out as a female director, as a lesbian director, I was like, ‘I don’t understand this advice.’ It blew my mind.”
Rosheuvel stars alongside Jonathan Bailey, Kate Sharma and Nicola Coughlan within the second sequence of the raunchy, Regency-era drama, which is now streaming on Netflix.
