From "Derry Girls" "Bridgerton" to "Barbie", Nicola Coughlan has quickly become a household name over the past few years.
But 37-year-old, who leads the third season of Netflix's steamy period piece, didn't have an easy climb to the top.
In fact, Coughlan struggled to break into acting at all.
When she first moved to London from her native Galway, Ireland to pursue acting, Coughlan didn't last long.
She struggled to balance making enough money to afford her rent with making the time to go to auditions.
