Nicola Coughlan fears ‘having nothing’ despite television success

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Coughlan fears “having nothing” despite her television success .
The 35-year-old actress was “in debt” and working low-paid jobs before landing roles in sitcom ‘Derry Girls’ and Netflix drama ‘Bridgerton’ but still worries about money even after making it big.
She told RTE Guide: “The fear of having nothing is still there. I was in debt with student loans, I was working minimum wage and the rent was so high.”
The star went on to admit that it is only since landing the role of Irish teenager Clare Devlin in the hit sitcom set during The Troubles that she has been able to afford small luxuries without worrying about the cost and it is “still a privilege” to audition after years of struggling to get her foot through the door.
She said: “I only got ‘Derry Girls’ five years ago so it’s not that long since I’ve been able to go and buy a coffee and not have a panic attack. I reckon I’ll have a few more years of thinking ‘I hope I have some money in my bank account’. You know what it’s like not to have all those things and you know how hard you’ve worked to get there. So for me to even be on a set is a privilege, to get an audition is a privilege because for years I couldn’t even get in an audition room.”
Nicola stars as Penelope Featherington in ‘Bridgerton’ and teased that the second series of the steamy costume drama – which is set to premiere on 25 March – is “so good”.
She wrote on Twitter: “I’ve just seen the finale of Season Two of ‘Bridgerton’ and it is so good I am FREAKING OUT.”
Nicola added: I loved it so much! I didn’t breathe! My heart was doing 120bpm the whole way through! (Genuinely).”(sic)
