Benedict Bridgerton as Luke Thompson takes on the romantic lead role for Bridgerton Season 4. But even before the show’s release, a shocking discovery Luke Thompson’s Indian connection has made headlines. For three seasons, he has been part of the Netflix historical drama series. But apart from being part of the story, there is huge interest from international fans with regards to his own heritage discovery.
In a recent interview with Sakshma Srivastav, actor Thompson spoke of his background, “Well, I am quarter Indian. Yeah, yeah, my grandmother is Indian, well, Indian English. So it would be lovely to come and meet my Indian fans one day.” This piece of information took fans by surprise, including members of the cast of Bridgerton itself, bringing Luke Thompson's Indian connection into focus.
Talking further about fame, the actor revealed the reason he does not use Instagram. This is due to the addictive nature of social media. Though he is not on Instagram, he still gets to see the trending memes from the Bridgerton series. He remembered how he found it difficult to stop scrolling on TikTok when he was shooting the third series of Bridgerton.
Season 4 is set to delve into Benedict’s much-awaited story, pitting him against Sophie, played by Yerin Ha, with the narrative being a significant tonal shift for the show. As Netflix increases the show’s international presence, casting decisions and stories associated with the actors impact more heavily on viewer interaction.
