Luke Newton is yet to experience what it means to be a “Bridgerton” leading man, but he has been trying to prepare himself.
“I feel slightly overwhelmed,” Newton, 31, said in a recent interview, adding that he was only just starting to appreciate the responsibilities of being a “Bridgerton” lead, rather than a co-star.
After watching both Page and Bailey navigate successful seasons and, later, careers in Hollywood, Newton asked both actors for advice.
Page just suggested he take a vacation as soon as the season wrapped, Newton said, but Bailey — who continues to play Anthony, Colin’s older brother, in Season 3 — was around to support him throughout.
“Whatever stress there was, whatever situation, I could just call him,” Newton said.
