Colin Bridgerton certainly is a fan favorite character in the books

What Does Colin Bridgerton Actor Luke Newton Have in Common With His Character?

While his younger sister Daphne found her happy ending by the season finale of
Bridgerton, Colin found himself in a rather unfortunate situation. Being the
third son, Colin doesn’t have many responsibilities as a viscount. All he has to
do is marry someone the aristocracy deems a good fit and maintain the family
reputation. However, this goes wrong as he falls victim to Marina Thompson’s
plans.

He leaves for the trip, knowing Penelope’s feelings for him. In the upcoming
season 2 of the series [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/bridgerton/], we see a new
version of Colin that we haven’t seen before. He’s going to be more rooted in
logic and more stable than before. Not to say that we won’t see ups and downs
with his relationship with other characters, especially Penelope, but we
certainly will see him dealing with things in a new, more mature way.

After playing the role for 2 seasons now, this is what actor Luke Newton has to
say about Colin:


WHAT DOES LUKE HAVE IN COMMON WITH COLIN BRIDGERTON?

Of all Bridgerton siblings, Colin is the one that fans of the books love and
adore the most. This is because of his laid-back nature and the witty remarks he
doesn’t shy away from giving. Newton claims that is one trait he shares with his
Bridgerton counterpart.

When Colin discovered how Marina was looking to marry him because of his title
and her situation rather than her feelings for him, the best escape he could
find was traveling. He instantly leaves for a trip around Europe to clear his
head. This shows just how much the character loves traveling and looks at it as
an escape. Newton mentioned
[https://www.shondaland.com/inspire/shondaland-bridgerton-behind-the-scenes/a39428396/bridgerton-cast-questionnaire-luke-newton/]how
traveling also makes him think of his family. He said, “sharing new experiences
and exploring new places with friends and family is something I will always
cherish.”

What Newton does not have in common with the beloved character he plays on the
set of the Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] series is his
naivety. Colin was easily manipulatable, something Marina took advantage of.
Newton talks about how he hopes he doesn’t share this characteristic with Colin.

Being a part of the aristocracy in Regency-era England, Colin is bound to be a
good horse rider. But, Luke grew up afraid of and constantly avoiding riding.
Although he grew to enjoy it at some point, riding was something he only took up
when he had to because of his job.
