Nicola Coughlan has revealed her support for a Gaza ceasefire through her Bridgerton promo.
The Irish actress took to her Instagram to highlight the red ceasefire pin she was wearing throughout the press for the latest season of the hit Netflix show.
The 37-year-old brought attention towards the ongoing war in Palestine while sharing information on the group Artists4Ceasefire – which called for an end to the bombing in Gaza and the safe release of hostages.
The Irish actress captioned the post: “You might have seen me wear a red pin on the red carpet and press events during the last while and I thought it would be a good time to share some information about Artists for Ceasefire and what we stand for ♥️”
In the information Nicola shared, Artists4Ceasefire described themselves as “a collective of artists and advocates who have come together in response to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Israel and Palestine.”
“We are here to lend our voices and our platforms to amplify the global call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the safe return of all hostages, and the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilians in Gaza.”
They continued: “We stand for our common humanity and a future rooted in freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people. We cannot be silent. Compassion must prevail.”

The meaning behind the pin was then explained: “The Artists4Ceasefire enamel pin is composed of a red background to symbolize the urgency of the call to save lives.”
“The orange hand conveys the beautiful community of people from all backgrounds that have come together in support of centering our shared humanity.”
“The heart being cradled in the center of the hand is an invitation for us to lead with our hearts, always, to lead with love. When we lead with love, we understand that all of our fellow beings deserve to be loved and protected.”
Many other stars, such as Billie Eilish and Mark Ruffalo, have shared their support for Gaza ceasefire by wearing the pin.
The highly anticipated third season of the hit Netflix series was released on Thursday after two years of waiting.
Season three of the show will see the Nicola take centre stage alongside Luke Newton, as it will follow Penelope Featherington’s quest to find love with the help of the third Bridgerton brother Colin.
