An Irish actress, Nicola Coughlan, has spoken out about the possible fallout of her vocal support for Palestine. She stars as Penelope Featherington in the hit series "Bridgerton." Reports emerged that published through "Mirror.co.uk," Coughlan received alerts about her career's future through her advocacy. Coughlan has been a loud voice for Palestine on social media, especially during the Israel-Hamas conflict. Her motivations in making her voice heard, especially for Palestinian children, are a matter of "giving back," since she's in such a fortunate position.
She is not new to taking up causes that she believes in. For instance, "Mirror.co.uk" cited her previous involvement in campaigns for marriage equality in Ireland and abortion rights. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Coughlan explained that causes and social justice are issues that always mattered to her.
For some agents and studios, it might be a big turnoff. While Coughlan can't be deterred, as she continues to wear her Artists4Ceasefire pin. This is the same pin worn by Ramy Youssef, Billie Eilish, Finneas O'Connell, and Ava DuVernay at the 2024 Oscars. She admitted, "There have been warnings," adding, "They tell you, 'You won't get work, you won't get this opportunity.'" But her voice remains strong, a testament to her convictions.
