Moreover, she also noted her body type, “It just felt like the biggest ‘f**k you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body,”. “It was amazingly empowering. I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought: ‘When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how f**king hot I looked!’”

“Terrifying,” Coughlan shared. “Luke and I read the books at the beginning of season 1, and it was funny to us. We were like, ‘Imagine if we have to kiss and do this.’ And then season 3 came along and we were like, ‘Oh god,’ and then it’s like, ‘It’s my friend. I have to kiss my friend.’”
