Luke Newton's Jaw-Dropping Transformation Has Bridgerton Fans All Saying the Same Thing
Season 3's nude scenes just got a lot more thrilling.
Think Bridgerton, think romantic hero. A few years ago, the majority of fans would name Regé-Jean Page's Simon Basset as the hottest male character in the Bridgerverse. A year ago, viewers' choice would most likely be Jonathan Bailey's Anthony Bridgerton — after all, his glow-up was just sensational in Season 2.
But today, it looks like Luke Newton is stealing the spotlight.
The actor, who plays Season 3 protagonist Colin Bridgerton, has proven time and again with his glow-up photos that no one can be taken for granted in the Bridgerverse. There seems to be a world of difference between the young Colin of Seasons 1 and 2, who was seen as the least attractive Bridgerton sibling by many, and the intense, sexy heartthrob found in the first Season 3 sneak pics and social media images.
If you still have any doubts about Luke's ability to play a compelling lead, here's just one piece of evidence to prove you wrong. A Twitter fan account recently shared a picture of Luke Newton at the gym, showing off his perfectly muscled body. And it is jaw-dropping!
Needless to say, the photo sent the huge Bridgerton fandom into a frenzy.
'This photo will forever remain rent free in my mind. Lord help us when Season 3 is out,' a fan commented on Reddit.
Well, who could argue with that? Looking at this picture, even those who thought the third Bridgerton sibling was not particularly attractive will have to reconsider. Of course, Luke's electrifying glow-up came as no surprise to die-hard fans, who are now enjoying their giant cup of 'I told you so.'
'I've thought he was the most attractive Bridgerton brother since Season 1 Episode 1. Ok, I feel VINDICATED!' a fan wrote, echoing the sentiment of many.
Season 2 star Simone Ashley told People last year that 'the world's not ready' for the third season's protagonists — and this new picture of Luke Newton is the best proof of that.
When Bridgerton Season 3 finally lands on Netflix, the world will be watching. We're already hyped up enough for the release date, but the creators are still keeping silent on the matter.
