Phoebe Dynevor broke through as the lead in Bridgerton

“It’s obviously shifted my career in ways I couldn’t have imagined,” says Phoebe Dynevor of playing the lead in Bridgerton, Netflix’s outrageously successful Regency romp, that in January 2021 was named the streaming giant’s most watched original series. Unsurprisingly, it has made an instant star of Manchester-born Dynevor, whose Instagram following ballooned, and who is now a fashion world favourite. “As an actor, I don’t particularly like feeling comfortable,” she tells Vogue. “I’m really nervous about my next role [in a biopic of ceramicist Clarice Cliff] and I like that feeling. I hope it never goes away.”
