Bridgerton star Luke Newton plays the role of Colin Bridgerton on the popular Netflix series. But when he is not filming, you can also find him doing photoshoots, including his recent one for The New York Times, which has captured his fans’ attention.
Newton posted three pictures from the shoot on Instagram and tagged the publication. He chose to make no further comment about the photographs, but that’s fine, because his fans have flooded the comment section with their own thoughts.
The photographs include a close-up of Newton’s face, one of him sitting with his arms folded, and another full-length shot. Instead of smiling in the pictures, he appears pensive. It’s a look that many of his 1.8 million followers are enjoying, and their comments reflect this. “You must pay for my therapy, BECAUSE AFTER WHAT I HAVE SEEN, I WILL NEVER RECOVER,” a comment reads, seemingly suggesting that Newton looks great. Another Instagram user praised Newton’s appearance with their comment, writing, “My dude, you gotta give a girl some warning.”
There are many other people who also feel this way.
