Bridgerton's Ruby Barker Shows Off Incredible Body Transformation
The actress worked really hard on her physique.
Netflix's Bridgerton is by far one of the most popular shows on the air right now, and every single actor associated with it has seen their popularity soar even as the media has showered them with attention. For some, it was a blessing in disguise, as they were able to explore other career opportunities, but for others, the overbearing media scrutiny became a curse, leaving them unable to enjoy normal life as they struggle with physical and mental issues.
While it's unclear how Ruby Barker, who portrays Marina Thompson in the show, felt about her newfound fame, she did end up having to cope with several mental health issues that resulted in a string of problems she had to tackle while trying to balance her career and personal life.

However, it looks like the pause between Bridgerton Season 2 and Season 3 really helped Barker find her footing, as she recently shared her journey to recovery. The actress posted a picture of herself before and after she decided to focus on her well-being, and fans were shocked to see how much weight the actress was able to shed.
While some fans were quick to accuse Ruby of linking happiness to weight, she explained in the post's caption that her weight loss had nothing to do with body image issues.
On the contrary, Ruby supports body positivity, and her decision to lose some weight came to her naturally as part of her journey. She revealed that she never really set out to lose weight, and it just happened naturally once she started dealing with her mental health issues.
The actress shared that she was able to overcome her fear of going to the gym, and that really helped her create a new, better version of herself. She has finally learned how to balance her career and personal life without having to worry about her mental health all the time.
Fans immediately began to praise Barker for her transformation, talking about how much they were looking forward to her return to play Marina in the third season of Bridgerton.
