Bridgerton star Simone Ashley feels 'safe and comfortable' with sex scenes
The Sex Education actor, who is about to release her debut album, described the hit Netflix show Bridgerton as "fantasy".
Ashley, who plays Kathani 'Kate' Bridgerton, told Harper's Bazaar: "It's about, 'What if?' and how love conquers all.
" Bridgerton represents nudity with a sense of romance, and I felt very safe and comfortable in what I was choosing to show to the world."
The fourth season of the Regency era drama series is due to be released next year, with Ashley telling the magazine: "'That show just gets bigger and bigger.
"Everyone has gone off to do incredible things, but we come back and it's like time hasn't moved."
She also spoke of moving to Los Angeles by herself when she was just 18, adding: "I was really scrappy.
"Since I was little, if I wanted something, I would do anything I could to get it. So, I took some modelling jobs to pay the bills and got into acting through that."
Ashley, who appears on the digital cover of the magazine, said her album was made following a recent break-up.
She said: "It's going to be somewhat confessional... and beautiful and messy.
"Good songs don't come from times when my life is regimented and predictable.
"They come when I am feeling vitality, and usually you either feel that way when your heart's broken, or you're euphoric.

Jurassic World Rebirth review: All-sprinting, all-leaping Scarlettsaurus bites back in winning revival
'Six zeroes' is what she's promised by way of pay packet, seven if you count the '10' at the front of the number on the cheque. Watching one of the most celebrated actors of her generation booting a Quetzalcoatlus in the face is quite a sight, and that's taking into account a cinema universe where spectacle is the foundation for everything that matters. Besides claiming to be a lifelong fan of the franchise, Johansson of course has form in the action-adventure arena and was never going to look especially out of place here. But who knows, maybe art does imitate life somewhat in that opening scene, as one of the world's highest paid actors is enticed into uncharted professional waters by way of a chunky dangled carrot. Cynicism aside, maybe this is all perfectly logical. In another blurring of boundaries in Gareth Edwards' film, society has become so dinoed-out that shady boffins in a secret research unit have turned to hybridisation to dream up gnarly new species so that the masses might be kept interested. No prizes for spotting a slight mirroring with Brand Jurassic. They might make zillions in box office receipts and merchandising, but the films themselves have seemed like an ever-tiring exercise in scouring for ways to keep its revived reptiles alive. One solution has been to simply unleash a bigger, meaner monster on ticket holders, an Indominus rex or Giganotosaurus. Another way to refresh things, however, might be a major star of Johansson's wattage to anchor everything. Jurassic World: Rebirth reaches for both implements in the toolkit and, by and large, it's worked. Firmly in the 'one last job' boat, Zora could do with a few mill to retire early on and help her get over some previous unpleasantness in the field. Martin Krebs (Friend) wants her to lead a crack team to a remote island, the last place where dinosaurs from the Jurassic World experiment have not yet succumbed to the ravages of climate and starvation our own species has caused. If she can help nerdy palaeontologist Henry Loomis (Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey) collect blood samples from three of the biggest behemoths, Krebs tells her, Big Pharma will develop a cure for heart disease. The island region is now an international no-go zone, however, so Zora brings in Mahershala Ali's tropical smuggler to help get the team in and out in a jiffy. Meanwhile, in nearby seas, a father (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) is bringing his two daughters (and the most useless boyfriend in cinema history) for a trans-Atlantic voyage in the family yacht when they are capsized by a peckish Mosasaurus. The merciful mercenaries respond to the distress signal and suddenly the adventure has some Spielbergian civilians to humanise the unfolding adventure. In one of many subtle nods to the Alien films, the rescue mission also serves to bring out the amoral corporate weasel in Krebs. When the two parties get separated during a lively landing, we are gifted an extra strand of dino-jeopardy to thrill at. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Will good old reliable T-rex or some new-fangled Uber-rex be any match for Johansson's sassy smirk? Not a chance. The all-sprinting, all-leaping Scarlettsaurus turns out to be the most formidable of them all, and money well spent for a franchise that we can all agree was in dire need of a breath mint. It's not perfect by any means. There are moments where character backstory and stakes are hurriedly shoehorned in, and the plot makes no attempts to innovate three decades on from the seismic first instalment. More pleasingly, this is a straight-up 'best of Jurassic' that leans into the textures, sounds, and sheer floor-to-ceiling spectacle of that unstoppable mid-'90s heyday Spielberg executive produces and co-devises along with original screenwriter David Koepp. Above all, the fantastic beasts and the island where we find them look incredible, with Edwards (Rogue One, Godzilla) pulling off precisely what he was hired to do – sci-fi sweep and grandiosity with canny human foregrounding. Get those things right, you're reminded, and the extinct will live long. Three and a half stars

Fiona Shaw: ‘It's much easier to play the selfish person'
'I had the easier job – it's much easier to play the selfish person,' reflects Irish actress Fiona Shaw. The 66-year-old TV Bafta winner stars as Rose, a mother with a mysterious illness, in Hot Milk, an adaptation of Deborah Levy's 2016 novel. Set against the scorching backdrop of a Spanish summer, the film follows Rose and her daughter Sofia, played by Sex Education's Emma Mackey, as they travel to the coastal town of Almeria in search of a cure from a local healer. Using a wheelchair and suffering from chronic pain, Rose is entirely dependent on Sofia – whether it's to leave the house or simply fetch a glass of water. An increasingly frustrated Sofia hopes the clinic will restore her mother's mobility and, in turn, grant her the freedom and independence she desperately craves. Shaw, who won a TV Bafta for her role as Carolyn Martens in Killing Eve, praised her 29-year-old co-star for helping shape the emotionally charged dynamic between the two women. Emma Mackey as Sofia and Fiona Shaw as Rose in Hot Milk. Picture: MUBI 'Emma had to decide, in each scene, how she would cope with her mother's behaviour – but the mother just continues on. She isn't thinking about the effects, and that's the problem,' Shaw explained. 'They're not two people at loggerheads. I don't think the mother is at odds at all. She adores her daughter, wishes she wouldn't visit her father, and wants her to focus on her studies. 'She can't see that she's the reason none of those things can happen properly. And that blindness is a nightmare for the other person – but Emma had to carry that. 'We would laugh about it, but she had to play the scenes. I just had to play Rose – she had to play the reception.' As the tension between mother and daughter intensifies, Sofia becomes enamoured with free-spirited traveller Ingrid, played by Phantom Thread's Vicky Krieps, who helps her shed her inhibitions and loosen the grip her mother has on her life. But as Sofia embraces her newfound independence, it becomes increasingly intolerable for her controlling mother – raising uncomfortable questions about the true nature of Rose's illness. Vicky Krieps as Ingrid and Emma Mackey as Sofia. Picture: MUBI To prepare for the role, Shaw researched psychosomatic disorder, a condition in which psychological distress manifests as physical symptoms, and spoke with people living with similar experiences. 'We spoke to people with the syndrome – this tendency to not have any physiological reason why you can't walk, but you can't walk,' she said. 'This syndrome comes with pain and with a twitch. I really concentrated on trying to get the stuckness of the person – and I was helped a lot by using a wheelchair.' Hot Milk marks the directorial debut of Rebecca Lenkiewicz, 57, who described Shaw and Mackey as 'an inseparable couple' on set. 'Fiona stayed in the wheelchair the whole time on set, and Emma would wheel her everywhere,' said Plymouth-born Lenkiewicz. 'They were like a couple – Emma would have to get over stones and sometimes was crying for help. It was very beautiful and touching watching them together.' Lenkiewicz, who previously wrote acclaimed films such as Ida and Disobedience, called making her directorial debut with such a female-centred story 'one of the most incredible experiences' of her life. 'I had yearned for years, really, to be with a film from start to finish, rather than just write it and deliver it. It was wonderful,' she said. Director Rebecca Lenkiewicz. Picture: MUBI While Levy's novel is set in Almería, southern Spain, the cast and crew filmed in Greece for cost reasons – a decision Lenkiewicz said ultimately enhanced the film's tone. 'Greece has gifts. It's so rugged and raw. We didn't want something picture-postcard,' she explained. 'We wanted something quite primal, and we had fantastic location scouts who went above and beyond to find different environments. 'The book gives you wonderful references – like a cement factory next to a café next to the sea – so you're hunting out these contrasting textures and landscapes. 'The sea was incredible, and the wind was amazing. There were lots of gifts for free.' She also credited her creative team, including cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt and production designer Andrey Ponkratov, for shaping the film's distinctive aesthetic. 'Christopher just read the light and the tone so intuitively, and Andrey created these beautiful shadows – both within the apartment and in the world outside it,' she added. Shaw described the filming experience as 'a very, very lovely time' – though not without its challenges. 'There was a permanent sense of improvisation, because we were living in that place,' she said. 'It wasn't full of laughs, because the pressure of getting so much of the film made meant that people's days were long.' Emma Mackey as Sofia. Picture: MUBI She also praised Lenkiewicz for her careful handling of Rose's ambiguous disability on screen. 'I couldn't have done this without Rebecca,' she said. 'You really need to be in dialogue with a director for something like that, because Rose – who appears to be unable to walk – does, at times, stand. And that's ultimately the choice of the director or the editor. 'In the book, it happens earlier, but in the film, it's quite late that we actually see her do the thing she says she can't do.' The film ends on a cliffhanger, leaving audiences to interpret Rose and Sofia's fate for themselves – a choice Shaw embraces. 'I've seen the film a few times, and I've had contrary thoughts each time – and I think that's really good,' she said. 'It's an ambiguous thing. And really, I think art is ambiguous. That's the point of it.' Hot Milk opens in cinemas in Ireland on Friday, July 4. Read More Summer catch-up: Best films of the year so far and where to watch them
