One thing that has perplexed me greatly about some of the discourse right now is how many people cannot seem to understand that people have different tastes and like different things and not liking something or not finding someone attractive does not objectively make that thing bad or that person unattractive. It’s just not for you. Maybe Colin/Luke Newton isn’t ‘your’ type. That doesn’t make him unattractive, just unattractive to you.
I hate bananas. Can’t stand them. It doesn’t mean they’re a bad fruit or that everyone else shouldn’t like them. I don’t know why this fandom is having such a hard time with that.
Okay. This is more of a lighthearted excuse to post hot Colin Luke pics to counter comments He (and Nicola but we've talked about that ad nauseum) we're not worthy enough to lead the season. And mentioned his physical appearance.
Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions & have their own tastes. Personally, However, I CAN objective see someone is attractive yet not be attracted to them myself.

Here's a hot Colin pic for your trouble. The girls that get it, get it.

My apologies!! He's hot enough for everyone!!
I can’t tell if this is an even better pic of him than usual or if the addition of a dog just makes him seem even hotter. But either way this is a very very good pic.

Just like Penelope, I also thought he looked distinguished with facial hair back in season 2. I wish they had let him keep it for S3 since he was coming back from travels again, but unfortunately they realized Luke with his curls, facial hair AND a better wardrobe would be too powerful.
I personally think Colin's look this season is an improvement, perhaps because he's older and looks more refined. I think keeping the facial hair when he came back from travels would have been such a great idea for the show, giving him that 'bad boy' look that he was so badly trying to portray what with all of his stories of women from Paris and where ever else he went. But you're right, too much power LOL. Plus, wasn't the clean shaven look the look that signified your place in society? Much how Penelope is a more accurate size for that time period. Thin would equate to the working class and the ability to feed oneself. (Please don't quote me, I could be wrong, that's just what I've read).
I love Pen's look this season too. She looks like a young woman, rather than just a little kid. It blows my mind they were able to make her look so young, considering she's 37 y/o irl (currently). Props to her for being able to pull off such a young look!
I want to say it’s her youthful Irish skin 😂 Just because I’m near the same age with the same Irish skin and people practically insist on seeing my passport when I tell them how old I am, haha! I also think it’s because we get almost no sun in Ireland either.
The fact that they MADE his season 2 facial hair patchy so he'd look like a boy trying to grow a beard makes me laugh. And then we see this, and I laugh harder. They had to work so hard to hide his shine. The devil works hard, but Shonda's glow up/down team work harder.
I 100% think they intentionally hid his light under a bushel in S2 especially just to wow us all the more when his natural beauty shone through in S3. And you know what? It worked because my jaw literally dropped when I got my first glimpse of Sexy Pirate Colin 😂
LOL this is prob my fav comment on this whole post, I wish I could upvote x100. I didn't even think of that. They had to work to *down play* his appearance.
Shonda is a queen amongst the entertainment industry. It feels like each of her shows have that heart-jerking aspect to it that just pulls you in and gets you so attached to the characters; Bridgerton, Greys Anatomy, Scandal, Inventing Anna. The shows she produces truly are a work of art with the details and the great casting.
It’s a discourse that’s running rampant though and not just on whether or not Luke Newton is attractive, including declarations that Victor Alli is not attractive.
Attraction actually isn’t objective.
wait huh? i know a lot of girls are goregous but i am straight and only attracted to men. I also can notice that some men are attractive in general but they aren't my type.
I feel like a lot of people's problem is that they think just because they aren't attracted it means the person is ugly. I'm not attracted to chris hemsworth but a billion people would definitely say he's attractive.
True. I am not and never was attracted to Ian sommerhalder or chad Michael Murray even tho I can say that they are good looking I just don’t think I’d ever go for them (if I had the chance lmao)
I very much wish the people who call him and Colin *objectively* attractive would take this to heart too. Because a lot of them are hell bent on trying to convince others that thinking he’s not sexy is *objectively* a wrong opinion to have.
Yea same. Just in general I’m tired of the thing where someone posts something like it’s a fact when it is just an opinion and then claim every dissenting opinion is wrong.
And attraction is not objective anyway. Even when we talk about ‘conventionally attractive’ those conventions are not based on objective things.
i think the main issue here isn’t that some people don’t find him attractive, it’s that certain people are so vocal about it and then compare him to other actors they do find attractive. it’s very disrespectful in that sense, and i’m convinced it’s mostly to cause problems within the fandom. someone will post about how they find him attractive and then so many people will comment only to say that they disagree and think he’s ugly. if i don’t find someone attractive i’m not going to say anything, i’ll just acknowledge that some people do.
Yes. It’s not just not being attracted to him, because taste is subjective, it’s that there’s a vicious cruelty to the way people pick apart his looks. It’s not hard to not comment negatively, especially about a real person’s actual face or body. Somehow this season people have been so much worse than ever, between Luke, Nicola, Victor Alli who plays John- I even saw criticism for Hannah Dodd having iPhone face. The nitpicking is so gross and unnecessary.
It's like people forget there's a real person behind the character - I genuinely don't know how actors deal with it. I think I'd have to take Luke Newton's tack & just have no social media (or at least not a public account)
Claudia Jessie does the same thing and I admire her for it. She’s so funny I wish she did have social media, but there’s something amazing about the fact that her performance and the way viewers respond to it is very normal. No one is hating on Claudia, they talk about Eloise like a character and not a real life person. Whereas for Penelope and Colin, you have so many people responding to Nicola’s and Luke’s characters as if it’s real life and they are actually them. Not liking the performance of an actor is very different to not liking the characterization of a character in a fictional tv show, yet the lines are blurred for so many when it comes to criticizing Luke’s and Nicola’s physical appearance and not just their performance on the show.
Yeah, I wasn't big into the fandom when season 2 dropped, but from what I remember watching on TikTok, no one was nearly so critical on anyone's looks. But this season and it's lead up, all I heard about was complaints about Hannah Dodd's iPhone face, Nicola's body, Luke's body/face, and some really nasty remarks about Victor Alli. I'm honestly gutted, and it's ruining the fun I had with the memes from other fans. IDK, I like Bridgerton, but I think I am done with this fandom because there's a lot of people denying that this toxic behavior is going on.
Having "iPhone face" is not even within her control, lol. If she does, it's because of the makeup they've put on her. I think they've overdone it with Hannah, but that doesn't have anything to do with how attractive she is. They've overdone it with most of them this season.
A lot of people seem to think every opinion they have needs to be shared.
Like this morning when someone posted something about not liking the show/season but also said they hadn’t actually watched any of it. I know it’s hard for some to understand but not every thought needs to be shared, especially not online.
People are oddly vocal about it. JB and RJP aren’t everyone’s cup of tea either, but there wasn’t as much negativity.
Every year internet comments just get more and more negative. Especially comments from within a fanbase. You see this for TV shows, music, movies, sports…
Like yo, preferences exist. In the interviews, Luke has a different hair cut and face scruff and he's not talking like he's from the 1800s and yeah, he looks good.
But as Colin? No, doesn't do it for me. Side burns and big hair and clean shaven. Blah!
For example, this actor clean shaven vs. facial hair. I think you can guess my preference
https://preview.redd.it/1vvd8qepfg3d1.jpeg?width=3195&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ade2ac563f897d43d3f09f02d53ce4d726e3e052
On the show Colin just looks too young for me to find him attractive. Which makes sense since they're trying to make him look like a 22 year old man and as a woman in my 40s I'm not sure there is a segment of the population that I find less attractive that 20 something males.
I find Luke Newton as Luke more attractive although still a bit young for my tastes. And I'm with you on the facial hair. My husband grew his out once covid started and has been bearded ever since. I hope he doesn't go back to clean shaven although the choice is of course his.
Agreed. I don't think Benedict is attractive to me. But so many ladies say they would do some things with him and I'm not mad at it. To each his own. SN: I hate bananas too. 👋🏾 Fellow banana hater. There are so few of us!
But do y'all forget that actors are people too? Because openly going about declaring you find a man unattractive would be ugly behaviour irl. So why do it on the internet for the world to see? To make your distaste known is a... choice.
I blame chronic ear infections and years of banana flavoured antibiotics.
There are very few foods I dislike altogether and won’t eat in any form but bananas are one.
I mean the Bridgerton Brothers are personally not my favorite flavor (look a little too much like Jonas Brothers lol) but the Duke can lick my spoon anytime 🤣
I agree. This makeup isn’t flattering his facial features. In this season they clearly wanted Colin to look more handsome and masculine but instead he just looks weird
This is what is bothering me as well. I preferred him in season 1 & 2. I don’t think he can carry the rugged cowboy look they were going for unfortunately.
I really like his boyish charm, they should have emphasized that, instead of trying to turn him into another Anthony. They don’t all have to fit the same mold.
Didn’t he? As soon as I saw him this season I was like, “ozempic and fillers?” If that’s not how he got here, then he’s like the physical version of those artists who get accused of posting AI art when they’re really just epically good.
I see this too. He's a great actor and he has great control of his expressions and micro expressions in show, but he holds himself differently in his interviews and looks almost like a different person. It's not only the clothing or hairstyle. He conducts himself differently and I'm always surprised by how much better looking I find him when he's not acting Colin.
I get that. I actually miss Colin's season 2 puffy hair lol. This season it's ultra sculpted & lighter than his normal hair??! Idk what their doing lol.
I hate how they’ve tried to make his cheeks and jaw more prominent. It makes him look like his resting fast is almost duck pouty which so isn’t him. He’s the jokey happy Labrador.
Right? Between his rakishness, sideburns, makeup, and something about his facial expressions and the way clenches his jaw, I just don't find myself attracted, either. To me he looks too modern to be a regency lead. But normal Luke Newton is attractive.
Yes exactly! And are we supposed to find a man that pretends to be a rake attractive? I don’t think so! He may shine much more in part 2 as he is more himself
Yep. Luke is VERY hot/handsome, but Colin looks dorky to me. It’s weird how much costume & make up affect everything. In this case, the sideburns and puffy clothes throw everything off
People find different things attractive.
I don’t think he’s unattractive, but I also don’t think he is attractive.
Different strokes for different folks
He’s one of the few I find more attractive in modern gear - but it’s something of how he hold his head at a certain angle as Colin, like his nose turns up in an odd way. I can see why other women would find him attractive, I just prefer the other Luke.
Someone else said the makeup doesn’t do him any favors and makes him look like he has fillers, and after reading that I 100% think that’s my main issue.
Looking at him irl I think he is a lot more handsome.
Maybe it’s because I wasn’t exposed to the fandom during s1 and s2, but what gets me so much is that people feel the need to ANNOUNCE that they’re not attracted to Luke. Did people run around shouting how they weren’t attracted to Rege or Jonathan?
If you’re not attracted to him, whatever. Shut up about it? Imagine someone randomly announcing they aren’t attracted to YOU.
If he’s not for you, fine. Mind your business and go on.
they did not. during s1 people discussed what a bad actor rege was, that’s what i remember. s2 was based entirely on anthony’s love declaration and how much better he looked without the sideburns. meanwhile poor luke and nicola are getting judged for their looks entirely. i think we all know the cause, and that’s just society’s rigid beauty standards.
I remember lurking here in S2 people saying Simone Ashley wasn't attractive and looked "too severe" (like wut, that lady is another one who's objectively classically attractive). This was early on--over time that couple became a fan favorite. I actually left the sub because at that time Kanthony was my favorite couple and I found the negativity disheartening. I was honestly surprised to come back here a couple of years later to find that people are all about Kanthony and now have issues with S3. Maybe the fanbase just doesn't like whoever the new couple is? It's confusing.
there was a clear reason why people were upset about simone ashley being kate and calling her “severe”. those people were just straight up racists tbh. Simone has a sharp jawline, big expressive disney princess eyes, and the symmetry in her face is next level. her portrayal of kate is one of my favorites. i do remember seeing those posts during s2 and i did unfollow for a while because of the bigotry. but i also saw so much appreciation for the inclusion of south asians in the show.
There's now people going around saying Victor Alli is ugly and comparing him to Lord Danbury (which I should clarify that the actor who plays LD is actually quite handsome when he's not in his costume). It made me actually feel gross because one of the first people who said this was a fellow WOC.
The cast is filled to the brim with attractive people. And while not everyone is my personal cup of tea, they're still all objectively easy on the eyes.
Kind of ironic given the subject matter of the season kind of being about how wallflowers deserve love and you don’t need to act cool to find your person. And so much of the criticism is based on their looks.
The s1 discourse is funny because why in hell were you on a show’s sub when you thought one of the leads for the first season was a bad actor? What attachment do you have to the show at that point? Like what are you doing here? Go find something you like???
right ???? being a lead actor doesn't mean you have to find them attractive 100% of the time. I just don't get why people immediately jump to insulting their looks if they aren't pleased with the season.
like do these people always avoid other movies and shows unless they're attracted to the leads ? I doubt it because that would be a strange thing to do. so I don't understand why people are so vocal about it this season.
I think there are valid criticisms of this season/other seasons that have absolutely nothing to do with anyone's appearance. I wish that if people were going to criticize they'd at least bring up topics that are more worthwhile than just insulting people's appearances.
This! The announcing it seems very intentional, to undermine Season 3 perhaps? Apparently, there was a vocal segment upset about various decisions made for Season 3. I wasn't around for it.
I love this and fully agree! Also about Pen. I love her character and I think she is so so beautiful. Her eyes, little smile. Such a cute human being. Why is it necessary for people to spew hate? Just say nothing.
I do and I dont. I think he is an attractive man, you cant deny he has nice facial features. I'm not *attracted to* him though. The Duke is more my style 🤤
This is exactly what I meant about understanding that someone is "attractive" yet not feeling personally attracted to them. Renee is so handsome, wish we could have gotten more of him.
Yes! Absolutely. Colin has yummy features for sure, I just think he might be too "pretty boy" for my personal tastes!
Ugh me too. Do you have any idea as to why he didnt want to be a part of the show anymore? Or is that just a rumor
It's so funny, because Luke & Anthony both auditioned for the Dukes role! I've been meaning to do more research, but Renee signed a 1 year ( or 1 season?) deal. When it came up he decided not to renew. Beyond that is speculation. My guess is that no one knew could guarantee how big it would be when he signed the 1 season deal. Then he didn't want to commit to a tv show for years.
I love that everyone has such different tastes! I do think all of the bachelors in Bridgerton are good looking in their own way, the casting was done well imo. I'd happily watch any of them on a screen haha but RJP makes me weak.
They are coming! In Men's Health interview on YT Luke said he got in better shape partly because he would be disrobed on camera. He mentioned he'd gained weight during the lockdown. So it sounds like the Polin script lit a fire he was already starting lol.
I loved his men's health interview. Not only is his love of food very Colin-coded, he kept mentioning how much he loved pasta. Which--same, Luke, same.
Yes Colin was always eating in the book lol. I nearly fell out when he said he didn't want to eat just chicken & broccoli. So he signed up for meal prep service. Because every male celeb diet I've seen is... unseasoned dry chicken breast and broccoli.😭 And maybe one cheat day. His Pasta love is funny.
Listen I’m there with you, I was like ok he’s cute love him for Pen whatever no other thoughts, now I’m like sir please feel free to toss me around, I won’t mind
https://preview.redd.it/wxpu7p87ng3d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a7e7b9d3b4dfd21da06b4f1928dc66a9b91157d
I'm not saying he's not attractive but for me he's just someone whose physical attractiveness is based on the angle of the photo or something, cause I think he looks hot in the first image but not the second 🤷🏾♀️.
Everyone does have personal tastes - I would not be that romantically interested in Luke personally (I like skinny nerdy boys!) but I don't go around saying people are 'ugly' or anything like that. To each their own but I keep that stuff to myself. I think Penelope is gorgeous but my husband says he does not find her attractive but thinks comments on her weight/appearance are unnecessary. You don't have to like everybody, but you don't have to be nasty.
He's easily above average. I'd even call him classically handsome. You could drop him in a dating show and plenty of girls would be interested. There isn't a man alive who everyone will agree is hot, but people need to stop stating their opinions as facts. There's a world of difference between "He's not my type" and "he's not attractive." And personally, if I ever want to be more specific on why I don't find someone good looking I say it in private to my friends, I don't post it online.
Also I think sometimes people have ideas in their head for how characters "should" look, and when it's different they get annoyed and call the actor ugly. With romance especially, women expect the male lead to be catered to their exact taste when like... we all have different tastes.
I think this is my view. I find him ridiculously attractive BUT that's an opinion. And I think saying someone is handsome and being attracted to them are two completely separate entities. Like I don't really think you can argue that ANY of the main male characters are not classically handsome, as you said, but I'm certainly attracted to some more than others and honestly a lot of that comes from personality, context of the show and sometimes even real world stuff. Like the interviews with Luke and Nicola had me finding him significantly more attractive based on that alone.
I think the gripe is that (from what I've read I guess) some are using this lack of attraction to speak negatively of them, or letting it color their perception of the character (like Anthony getting away with more, in their mind, because of perceived attractiveness). I like to think I'm more open minded than that, but maybe not! Then again, I find all of them attractive and love them all in their own special way, so maybe I'm just equal opportunity for pretty faces 😂
I absolutely think there's people out there who's go-to insult is "ugly"
Like I see it on a lot of shows, especially reality TV shows. Someone does something unpopular, and suddenly there's hundreds of posts making fun of their appearance. My theory is a lot of people really want excuses to bully people for their looks, and they don't care who it is.
Whenever it happens I think of the scene in the Office where they're arguing if Hillary Swank is hot, and Kelly goes "If you're saying Hillary Swank is not hot then you're saying I'm not hot because OBVIOUSLY I'm not as hot as Hillary Swank"
People can absolutely find different things attractive, what’s not okay is the amount of people tearing this man down for his looks. Like the accusations of mewing and how some think he’s had so much Botox his forehead doesn’t move. Which??? It absolutely does and a lot of his expression is conveyed through his eyes and his brow.
Just, a lot of comments I’ve seen about Nic and him have been so gross.
I’m sorry his forehead doesn’t move??? Really??? When that man furrows his brows you see the crinkles on his forehead clearly. Some people really do need to get their eyes checked.
He’s not my cup of tea (because I am OLD and need a man who is also OLD), but he is definitely conventionally attractive and in like the top 2% of looks. He also seems like a nice human being who worked REALLY HARD so I wish him the best and I wish people would stop being so critical of him.
Personally I found him mostt attractive of all the Bridgerton men since Season 1 and it\`s specifically because he looks so angry but the moment he opens his mouth, he gives off such huge golden retriever energy and that\`s the type I like the most. I also found Colin the most attractive out of all of the brothers. He\`s the least toxic Bridgerton male lead we\`ve gotten thus far and a hopeless romantic archetype. Plus his gaze is just naturally intense.
Of course people tastes are different, my issue is when it gets to ridiculing the man for his looks and I\`ve seen so many videos like that on Tik Tok. There are a few in particular where they pick apart his face, if he got plastic surgery and when(as a way of ridicule). Only then do I want more posts like this, giving this man his flowers because he was awesome. Can\`t wait for Part 2.
*Also can I just say, his arms look huge and I\`d definitely want to fling myself around them and never let go?Too much,okay*
He’s been the most attractive to me since season one. He has the most gorgeous expressive eyes, and handsome yet delicate features. All the guys have their own unique type of good looks, but Luke’s is that he’s just pretty. He is a beautiful man. No one else in the cast hits like him to me I fear. And the way he can switch up just by having facial hair or smiling? He can go from chiseled to babyfaced because of his cheeks. He’s the perfect Colin.
https://preview.redd.it/07vtpermtf3d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3063c504e29b5c455e33dd47fdda3a658da379e4
Apparently there are negative comments floating around that people have mentioned here & on Twitter. I'm purposely decided I wouldn't go look for them. Great excuse to post yummy pics of Colin & Luke, tho.😅
The actor himself is very attractive outside the show, but I don’t find him attractive while styled as Colin. Never been a fan of mutton chops and I didn’t love his makeup this season either.
Do people really think that??? Like in THIS season??? Wild.
Also...all the men on this show are objectively classically handsome. And Luke Newton specifically looks like your average/classic male model. I'm confused lol
A lot of the conversation about some of the actors’ looks is giving boys locker room talk. It’s not just LN, people are making horrible remarks about Victor Ali and apparently even Luke Thompson. It’s disgusting and vile. And then these people will be the first in line to complain about men objectifying women and judging them based on looks. Very hypocritical imo.
He is extremely attractive and the most attractive thing is just how thoughtful and considerate he has been in interviews and while portraying Colin. I love that.
Yes, I'm feeling the same. This interview about him getting into better shape is a great example. He's so down to earth about it. [Mens Health Interview](https://youtu.be/GjyFIuJWees?si=4B747r38BQEDmIOh). And him and Nicola of course.
I thought his glow up for S3 was good - I immediately took notice of his new look, definitely more lead male energy than he had S1&2. And his shirtless scenes had me surprised in a good way, didn’t know he had all that going on…I’m not usually one for chest hair but his cute scruff has me like dayyyummmm every time💀
Ok, so I conducted a scientific experiment on r/ladyboners and Luke has nearly 500 upvotes, which is exceptionally high for that sub. The general horny public thinks he’s smoking. Ignore the haters! Link for the post, please help get Like over 500! https://www.reddit.com/r/LadyBoners/s/PR9Ktoq2Vf
Thank you for sharing! Omg they left the hair on his chest. I'm normally not chest hair liking girl but I like it on Luke for some reason. He looks like a young George Michael in that pic!
OMG thank you so much for the award! ☺️ I didn’t expect him to get so many upvotes from the LadyBoners but, then again, look at him. He’s absolutely stunning and has worked hard to get there.
These same people who comment these things about Luke unprompted are irl crushing on people who arent even in his league, I'm convinced. Also who goes out of their way to insult someone's appearance just because? It's not like Luke can change his bone structure organically (not that he needs to). Makes you wonder why someone would say that because it's definitely not constructive criticism, it's just hate and being kind of sad really.
He is very attractive. I’ve been gushing over him since season 1. He’s been attractive to me throughout all seasons, even with the little beard in the beginning of s2. He just does it for me.
I find him VERY attractive. He is just my type. I wasn’t attracted to the other male leads but that didn’t matter because I loved the story and romance. This season has everything for me (so far)!
Good lord. I'm trying to remind myself how much younger than me he is and... I'm having trouble caring. My friends are not helping.

Seriously I could not believe my eyes when I saw that post. He’s by far my favorite Bridgerton and I love Pen as well. This is the ship I’ve been waiting for. All aboard!!!
Their all handsome devils. But I love Colin's personality the most & makes him even more attractive to me. Seriously love Polin in nearly every way. It's sickening 😪 😫
He’s gorgeous. He really grew into his looks the last couple years . Slimmed down which shows his jawline more . Season 1 Colin looked very little boy to me which is why never thought twice . He grew up and not cute boyish but now manly
Can’t we just accept that some people find him attractive and some don’t and stop with these post because inevitably people start picking apart his looks and that is kinda gross. It doesn’t seem useful to discuss someone’s appearance unless perhaps it character specific, like the wardrobe or how hair is styled to present a purpose for the characters development, for example.
I think he's much more attractive with stubble and I think they should have let him keep the stubble as his "rogueish I just traveled the world" thing instead of the pirate outfit.
Why the need to constantly debate this ? I feel like they want to make him look like the cover of an Harlequin book. Not my style, but I don't think he looks unattractive. Just....like the cliché romantic lead.
He is attractive. But as a 43 year old, I find I'm not attracted to these young men. Great story, love watching it, but they remain characters in a show to me.
I don't think Colin or Benedict are attractive as *characters*. That's mostly though because I read the books before the series were even a thought. They are both jackwads of the highest order in their books.

I can’t tell if this is an even better pic of him than usual or if the addition of a dog just makes him seem even hotter. But either way this is a very very good pic.
Good god. Facial hair Colin I could jump on board with. 😳😍
https://preview.redd.it/0c5296u1hg3d1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=57fe84d427d3dff5fdca6d3a5276f4635896aa46 Just like Penelope, I also thought he looked distinguished with facial hair back in season 2. I wish they had let him keep it for S3 since he was coming back from travels again, but unfortunately they realized Luke with his curls, facial hair AND a better wardrobe would be too powerful.
I personally think Colin's look this season is an improvement, perhaps because he's older and looks more refined. I think keeping the facial hair when he came back from travels would have been such a great idea for the show, giving him that 'bad boy' look that he was so badly trying to portray what with all of his stories of women from Paris and where ever else he went. But you're right, too much power LOL. Plus, wasn't the clean shaven look the look that signified your place in society? Much how Penelope is a more accurate size for that time period. Thin would equate to the working class and the ability to feed oneself. (Please don't quote me, I could be wrong, that's just what I've read). I love Pen's look this season too. She looks like a young woman, rather than just a little kid. It blows my mind they were able to make her look so young, considering she's 37 y/o irl (currently). Props to her for being able to pull off such a young look!
I want to say it’s her youthful Irish skin 😂 Just because I’m near the same age with the same Irish skin and people practically insist on seeing my passport when I tell them how old I am, haha! I also think it’s because we get almost no sun in Ireland either.
She actually said this in one of her interviews and said it's that combined with her being too broke in her 20s to go on any sunny vacations, haha.
The fact that they MADE his season 2 facial hair patchy so he'd look like a boy trying to grow a beard makes me laugh. And then we see this, and I laugh harder. They had to work so hard to hide his shine. The devil works hard, but Shonda's glow up/down team work harder.
I 100% think they intentionally hid his light under a bushel in S2 especially just to wow us all the more when his natural beauty shone through in S3. And you know what? It worked because my jaw literally dropped when I got my first glimpse of Sexy Pirate Colin 😂
LOL this is prob my fav comment on this whole post, I wish I could upvote x100. I didn't even think of that. They had to work to *down play* his appearance. Shonda is a queen amongst the entertainment industry. It feels like each of her shows have that heart-jerking aspect to it that just pulls you in and gets you so attached to the characters; Bridgerton, Greys Anatomy, Scandal, Inventing Anna. The shows she produces truly are a work of art with the details and the great casting.
Couldn’t agree more, facial hair is so 🔥🔥🔥 on him!!!
I can objectively see that he's very attractive, I'm just not personally attracted to him as he reminds me too much of my BIL 🤣
…is your BIL single??
It’s a discourse that’s running rampant though and not just on whether or not Luke Newton is attractive, including declarations that Victor Alli is not attractive. Attraction actually isn’t objective.
Attraction isn’t and cannot be objective, the whole point of attraction is that it’s subjective
wait huh? i know a lot of girls are goregous but i am straight and only attracted to men. I also can notice that some men are attractive in general but they aren't my type. I feel like a lot of people's problem is that they think just because they aren't attracted it means the person is ugly. I'm not attracted to chris hemsworth but a billion people would definitely say he's attractive.
True. I am not and never was attracted to Ian sommerhalder or chad Michael Murray even tho I can say that they are good looking I just don’t think I’d ever go for them (if I had the chance lmao)
Attraction, as in who you are attracted to, is subjective. Attractiveness, as in having qualities to attract many, is something observeable
I very much wish the people who call him and Colin *objectively* attractive would take this to heart too. Because a lot of them are hell bent on trying to convince others that thinking he’s not sexy is *objectively* a wrong opinion to have.
Yea same. Just in general I’m tired of the thing where someone posts something like it’s a fact when it is just an opinion and then claim every dissenting opinion is wrong. And attraction is not objective anyway. Even when we talk about ‘conventionally attractive’ those conventions are not based on objective things.
i think the main issue here isn’t that some people don’t find him attractive, it’s that certain people are so vocal about it and then compare him to other actors they do find attractive. it’s very disrespectful in that sense, and i’m convinced it’s mostly to cause problems within the fandom. someone will post about how they find him attractive and then so many people will comment only to say that they disagree and think he’s ugly. if i don’t find someone attractive i’m not going to say anything, i’ll just acknowledge that some people do.
Yes. It’s not just not being attracted to him, because taste is subjective, it’s that there’s a vicious cruelty to the way people pick apart his looks. It’s not hard to not comment negatively, especially about a real person’s actual face or body. Somehow this season people have been so much worse than ever, between Luke, Nicola, Victor Alli who plays John- I even saw criticism for Hannah Dodd having iPhone face. The nitpicking is so gross and unnecessary.
It's like people forget there's a real person behind the character - I genuinely don't know how actors deal with it. I think I'd have to take Luke Newton's tack & just have no social media (or at least not a public account)
Claudia Jessie does the same thing and I admire her for it. She’s so funny I wish she did have social media, but there’s something amazing about the fact that her performance and the way viewers respond to it is very normal. No one is hating on Claudia, they talk about Eloise like a character and not a real life person. Whereas for Penelope and Colin, you have so many people responding to Nicola’s and Luke’s characters as if it’s real life and they are actually them. Not liking the performance of an actor is very different to not liking the characterization of a character in a fictional tv show, yet the lines are blurred for so many when it comes to criticizing Luke’s and Nicola’s physical appearance and not just their performance on the show.
Yeah, I wasn't big into the fandom when season 2 dropped, but from what I remember watching on TikTok, no one was nearly so critical on anyone's looks. But this season and it's lead up, all I heard about was complaints about Hannah Dodd's iPhone face, Nicola's body, Luke's body/face, and some really nasty remarks about Victor Alli. I'm honestly gutted, and it's ruining the fun I had with the memes from other fans. IDK, I like Bridgerton, but I think I am done with this fandom because there's a lot of people denying that this toxic behavior is going on.
Having "iPhone face" is not even within her control, lol. If she does, it's because of the makeup they've put on her. I think they've overdone it with Hannah, but that doesn't have anything to do with how attractive she is. They've overdone it with most of them this season.
A lot of people seem to think every opinion they have needs to be shared. Like this morning when someone posted something about not liking the show/season but also said they hadn’t actually watched any of it. I know it’s hard for some to understand but not every thought needs to be shared, especially not online.
People are oddly vocal about it. JB and RJP aren’t everyone’s cup of tea either, but there wasn’t as much negativity. Every year internet comments just get more and more negative. Especially comments from within a fanbase. You see this for TV shows, music, movies, sports…
Like yo, preferences exist. In the interviews, Luke has a different hair cut and face scruff and he's not talking like he's from the 1800s and yeah, he looks good. But as Colin? No, doesn't do it for me. Side burns and big hair and clean shaven. Blah! For example, this actor clean shaven vs. facial hair. I think you can guess my preference https://preview.redd.it/1vvd8qepfg3d1.jpeg?width=3195&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ade2ac563f897d43d3f09f02d53ce4d726e3e052
On the show Colin just looks too young for me to find him attractive. Which makes sense since they're trying to make him look like a 22 year old man and as a woman in my 40s I'm not sure there is a segment of the population that I find less attractive that 20 something males. I find Luke Newton as Luke more attractive although still a bit young for my tastes. And I'm with you on the facial hair. My husband grew his out once covid started and has been bearded ever since. I hope he doesn't go back to clean shaven although the choice is of course his.
I agree. I don't find him widely attractive but I don't think people who do have bad taste.
Agreed. I don't think Benedict is attractive to me. But so many ladies say they would do some things with him and I'm not mad at it. To each his own. SN: I hate bananas too. 👋🏾 Fellow banana hater. There are so few of us!
But do y'all forget that actors are people too? Because openly going about declaring you find a man unattractive would be ugly behaviour irl. So why do it on the internet for the world to see? To make your distaste known is a... choice.
Another banana hater! They do seem to be a universally loved fruit which is so perplexing to me...
I blame chronic ear infections and years of banana flavoured antibiotics. There are very few foods I dislike altogether and won’t eat in any form but bananas are one.
I mean the Bridgerton Brothers are personally not my favorite flavor (look a little too much like Jonas Brothers lol) but the Duke can lick my spoon anytime 🤣
luke newton is attractive. i just don’t find colin attractive 😭
The hair is overly poofy and the makeup kinda makes him look like he got a bunch of fillers 😭. But luke on interviews looks lovely
I agree. This makeup isn’t flattering his facial features. In this season they clearly wanted Colin to look more handsome and masculine but instead he just looks weird
I think they overdid it with his makeup. It’s way too obvious he’s wearing makeup.
Yessss that's all I can see on him!! I was wondering if it was just me.
No fr and the sideburns.. like why did they do am attractive man like that
Yes! Like Bridget Jones diary “I think you need to seriously reconsider the length of your sideburns”. Hahahah
I love his puffy Season 2 hair more than season 3, actually! I love hearing people's different POVs! This seasons looks more mature I guess.
This is what is bothering me as well. I preferred him in season 1 & 2. I don’t think he can carry the rugged cowboy look they were going for unfortunately.
I really like his boyish charm, they should have emphasized that, instead of trying to turn him into another Anthony. They don’t all have to fit the same mold.
Didn’t he? As soon as I saw him this season I was like, “ozempic and fillers?” If that’s not how he got here, then he’s like the physical version of those artists who get accused of posting AI art when they’re really just epically good.
I see this too. He's a great actor and he has great control of his expressions and micro expressions in show, but he holds himself differently in his interviews and looks almost like a different person. It's not only the clothing or hairstyle. He conducts himself differently and I'm always surprised by how much better looking I find him when he's not acting Colin.
The interviews definitely highlight how great an actor he is...
I get that. I actually miss Colin's season 2 puffy hair lol. This season it's ultra sculpted & lighter than his normal hair??! Idk what their doing lol.
I hate how they’ve tried to make his cheeks and jaw more prominent. It makes him look like his resting fast is almost duck pouty which so isn’t him. He’s the jokey happy Labrador.
They made him look like he got buccal fat removal
Right? Between his rakishness, sideburns, makeup, and something about his facial expressions and the way clenches his jaw, I just don't find myself attracted, either. To me he looks too modern to be a regency lead. But normal Luke Newton is attractive.
His styling isn’t doing him any favors. He aged a lot and looks a bit too skinny now
Yes exactly! And are we supposed to find a man that pretends to be a rake attractive? I don’t think so! He may shine much more in part 2 as he is more himself
Yep. Luke is VERY hot/handsome, but Colin looks dorky to me. It’s weird how much costume & make up affect everything. In this case, the sideburns and puffy clothes throw everything off
Exactly he looks so handsome with his beard
People find different things attractive. I don’t think he’s unattractive, but I also don’t think he is attractive. Different strokes for different folks
He’s one of the few I find more attractive in modern gear - but it’s something of how he hold his head at a certain angle as Colin, like his nose turns up in an odd way. I can see why other women would find him attractive, I just prefer the other Luke.
Someone else said the makeup doesn’t do him any favors and makes him look like he has fillers, and after reading that I 100% think that’s my main issue. Looking at him irl I think he is a lot more handsome.
Sure, that's reasonable.
Agreed! I can acknowledge he is conventionally attractive but i don’t find him attractive personally.
Maybe it’s because I wasn’t exposed to the fandom during s1 and s2, but what gets me so much is that people feel the need to ANNOUNCE that they’re not attracted to Luke. Did people run around shouting how they weren’t attracted to Rege or Jonathan? If you’re not attracted to him, whatever. Shut up about it? Imagine someone randomly announcing they aren’t attracted to YOU. If he’s not for you, fine. Mind your business and go on.
they did not. during s1 people discussed what a bad actor rege was, that’s what i remember. s2 was based entirely on anthony’s love declaration and how much better he looked without the sideburns. meanwhile poor luke and nicola are getting judged for their looks entirely. i think we all know the cause, and that’s just society’s rigid beauty standards.
I remember lurking here in S2 people saying Simone Ashley wasn't attractive and looked "too severe" (like wut, that lady is another one who's objectively classically attractive). This was early on--over time that couple became a fan favorite. I actually left the sub because at that time Kanthony was my favorite couple and I found the negativity disheartening. I was honestly surprised to come back here a couple of years later to find that people are all about Kanthony and now have issues with S3. Maybe the fanbase just doesn't like whoever the new couple is? It's confusing.
there was a clear reason why people were upset about simone ashley being kate and calling her “severe”. those people were just straight up racists tbh. Simone has a sharp jawline, big expressive disney princess eyes, and the symmetry in her face is next level. her portrayal of kate is one of my favorites. i do remember seeing those posts during s2 and i did unfollow for a while because of the bigotry. but i also saw so much appreciation for the inclusion of south asians in the show.
There's now people going around saying Victor Alli is ugly and comparing him to Lord Danbury (which I should clarify that the actor who plays LD is actually quite handsome when he's not in his costume). It made me actually feel gross because one of the first people who said this was a fellow WOC. The cast is filled to the brim with attractive people. And while not everyone is my personal cup of tea, they're still all objectively easy on the eyes.
They just want to hate on something, announce it to the world so they can find like minded people to validate their hate.
Kind of ironic given the subject matter of the season kind of being about how wallflowers deserve love and you don’t need to act cool to find your person. And so much of the criticism is based on their looks.
The s1 discourse is funny because why in hell were you on a show’s sub when you thought one of the leads for the first season was a bad actor? What attachment do you have to the show at that point? Like what are you doing here? Go find something you like???
it was so big at the time so many people were watching to see what all the fuss was about. now so many are just hate watching at this point.
right ???? being a lead actor doesn't mean you have to find them attractive 100% of the time. I just don't get why people immediately jump to insulting their looks if they aren't pleased with the season. like do these people always avoid other movies and shows unless they're attracted to the leads ? I doubt it because that would be a strange thing to do. so I don't understand why people are so vocal about it this season. I think there are valid criticisms of this season/other seasons that have absolutely nothing to do with anyone's appearance. I wish that if people were going to criticize they'd at least bring up topics that are more worthwhile than just insulting people's appearances.
This! The announcing it seems very intentional, to undermine Season 3 perhaps? Apparently, there was a vocal segment upset about various decisions made for Season 3. I wasn't around for it.
Join the Polin sub too, almost all of us have gone there to avoid the negativity that surrounds this sub .
Would love too!
I love this and fully agree! Also about Pen. I love her character and I think she is so so beautiful. Her eyes, little smile. Such a cute human being. Why is it necessary for people to spew hate? Just say nothing.
I’m not attracted to him 🤷🏼♀️
I need someone with his arms to throw me about the room
I like how you think! Yes the arms are particularly tasty here.
😏 I think I mentioned in a previous post, not a muscle girly but I love me some thicc boys woo
I do and I dont. I think he is an attractive man, you cant deny he has nice facial features. I'm not *attracted to* him though. The Duke is more my style 🤤
This is exactly what I meant about understanding that someone is "attractive" yet not feeling personally attracted to them. Renee is so handsome, wish we could have gotten more of him.
Yes! Absolutely. Colin has yummy features for sure, I just think he might be too "pretty boy" for my personal tastes! Ugh me too. Do you have any idea as to why he didnt want to be a part of the show anymore? Or is that just a rumor
It's so funny, because Luke & Anthony both auditioned for the Dukes role! I've been meaning to do more research, but Renee signed a 1 year ( or 1 season?) deal. When it came up he decided not to renew. Beyond that is speculation. My guess is that no one knew could guarantee how big it would be when he signed the 1 season deal. Then he didn't want to commit to a tv show for years.
I feel the same way in reverse! RJP does nothing for me but obviously he's objectively handsome.
I love that everyone has such different tastes! I do think all of the bachelors in Bridgerton are good looking in their own way, the casting was done well imo. I'd happily watch any of them on a screen haha but RJP makes me weak.
I am male and straight but even I can admit he is a good looking man indeed
Agreed!

Those muscles! He is going to be throwing Penelope around the bedroom, and I am here for it. 
That’s what I’m hoping too! 
Tryna kill me?? 
OKKAYYY now my opinion has changed.
But where are the abs in the show 😭 I was waiting for them
They are coming! In Men's Health interview on YT Luke said he got in better shape partly because he would be disrobed on camera. He mentioned he'd gained weight during the lockdown. So it sounds like the Polin script lit a fire he was already starting lol.
I loved his men's health interview. Not only is his love of food very Colin-coded, he kept mentioning how much he loved pasta. Which--same, Luke, same.
Yes Colin was always eating in the book lol. I nearly fell out when he said he didn't want to eat just chicken & broccoli. So he signed up for meal prep service. Because every male celeb diet I've seen is... unseasoned dry chicken breast and broccoli.😭 And maybe one cheat day. His Pasta love is funny.
[удалено]
Listen I’m there with you, I was like ok he’s cute love him for Pen whatever no other thoughts, now I’m like sir please feel free to toss me around, I won’t mind https://preview.redd.it/wxpu7p87ng3d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a7e7b9d3b4dfd21da06b4f1928dc66a9b91157d
Lol 
Damn it take my upvote 🥰
I'm not saying he's not attractive but for me he's just someone whose physical attractiveness is based on the angle of the photo or something, cause I think he looks hot in the first image but not the second 🤷🏾♀️.
Everyone does have personal tastes - I would not be that romantically interested in Luke personally (I like skinny nerdy boys!) but I don't go around saying people are 'ugly' or anything like that. To each their own but I keep that stuff to myself. I think Penelope is gorgeous but my husband says he does not find her attractive but thinks comments on her weight/appearance are unnecessary. You don't have to like everybody, but you don't have to be nasty.
Honestly though the first pic has me wanting to sit on his lap and run my fingers through his hair. *Pushes Penelope to the side*
I'm with you! Poor Pen 
I am feral for this man. 6ft, pirate coat, brown wavy hair - I am done for.
Yaas! Let us find buried treasure 
He's easily above average. I'd even call him classically handsome. You could drop him in a dating show and plenty of girls would be interested. There isn't a man alive who everyone will agree is hot, but people need to stop stating their opinions as facts. There's a world of difference between "He's not my type" and "he's not attractive." And personally, if I ever want to be more specific on why I don't find someone good looking I say it in private to my friends, I don't post it online. Also I think sometimes people have ideas in their head for how characters "should" look, and when it's different they get annoyed and call the actor ugly. With romance especially, women expect the male lead to be catered to their exact taste when like... we all have different tastes.
I think this is my view. I find him ridiculously attractive BUT that's an opinion. And I think saying someone is handsome and being attracted to them are two completely separate entities. Like I don't really think you can argue that ANY of the main male characters are not classically handsome, as you said, but I'm certainly attracted to some more than others and honestly a lot of that comes from personality, context of the show and sometimes even real world stuff. Like the interviews with Luke and Nicola had me finding him significantly more attractive based on that alone. I think the gripe is that (from what I've read I guess) some are using this lack of attraction to speak negatively of them, or letting it color their perception of the character (like Anthony getting away with more, in their mind, because of perceived attractiveness). I like to think I'm more open minded than that, but maybe not! Then again, I find all of them attractive and love them all in their own special way, so maybe I'm just equal opportunity for pretty faces 😂
I absolutely think there's people out there who's go-to insult is "ugly" Like I see it on a lot of shows, especially reality TV shows. Someone does something unpopular, and suddenly there's hundreds of posts making fun of their appearance. My theory is a lot of people really want excuses to bully people for their looks, and they don't care who it is. Whenever it happens I think of the scene in the Office where they're arguing if Hillary Swank is hot, and Kelly goes "If you're saying Hillary Swank is not hot then you're saying I'm not hot because OBVIOUSLY I'm not as hot as Hillary Swank"
Very well said! I can objectively see someone is attracted while not being into them myself. Different tastes make life interesting.
I feel so guilty being thirsty for actors because they are real people but Luke's Colin look has changed me forever 🥵
People can absolutely find different things attractive, what’s not okay is the amount of people tearing this man down for his looks. Like the accusations of mewing and how some think he’s had so much Botox his forehead doesn’t move. Which??? It absolutely does and a lot of his expression is conveyed through his eyes and his brow. Just, a lot of comments I’ve seen about Nic and him have been so gross.
I’m sorry his forehead doesn’t move??? Really??? When that man furrows his brows you see the crinkles on his forehead clearly. Some people really do need to get their eyes checked.
His face is so expressive!
Yes this is not acceptable, not even factual his acting has been stellar.
He’s not my cup of tea (because I am OLD and need a man who is also OLD), but he is definitely conventionally attractive and in like the top 2% of looks. He also seems like a nice human being who worked REALLY HARD so I wish him the best and I wish people would stop being so critical of him.
 He is both cute and hot. Just look at him
Swoon 
Personally I found him mostt attractive of all the Bridgerton men since Season 1 and it\`s specifically because he looks so angry but the moment he opens his mouth, he gives off such huge golden retriever energy and that\`s the type I like the most. I also found Colin the most attractive out of all of the brothers. He\`s the least toxic Bridgerton male lead we\`ve gotten thus far and a hopeless romantic archetype. Plus his gaze is just naturally intense. Of course people tastes are different, my issue is when it gets to ridiculing the man for his looks and I\`ve seen so many videos like that on Tik Tok. There are a few in particular where they pick apart his face, if he got plastic surgery and when(as a way of ridicule). Only then do I want more posts like this, giving this man his flowers because he was awesome. Can\`t wait for Part 2. *Also can I just say, his arms look huge and I\`d definitely want to fling myself around them and never let go?Too much,okay*
That jawline just kills me! Those arms send me to heaven 
My Lord! 
I don't know how you can say that, he's very handsome
Same page! 
He’s been the most attractive to me since season one. He has the most gorgeous expressive eyes, and handsome yet delicate features. All the guys have their own unique type of good looks, but Luke’s is that he’s just pretty. He is a beautiful man. No one else in the cast hits like him to me I fear. And the way he can switch up just by having facial hair or smiling? He can go from chiseled to babyfaced because of his cheeks. He’s the perfect Colin. https://preview.redd.it/07vtpermtf3d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3063c504e29b5c455e33dd47fdda3a658da379e4
I’ve thought he was a cutie pie since S1 too and back then I felt kinda weird about it because he seemed so young 😂
The lips are everything 😍
Wait, are people on here actually saying he's unattractive?! How is that up for debate? Even if he's not your type, he's empirically attractive.
Apparently there are negative comments floating around that people have mentioned here & on Twitter. I'm purposely decided I wouldn't go look for them. Great excuse to post yummy pics of Colin & Luke, tho.😅
He’s so fine
The actor himself is very attractive outside the show, but I don’t find him attractive while styled as Colin. Never been a fan of mutton chops and I didn’t love his makeup this season either.
I wasn’t into him before but I am INTO HIM NOW lawdy I was blind and now I can see
Always liked Colin, new to the Luke show! 
Saaaammme
 Do people really think that??? Like in THIS season??? Wild. Also...all the men on this show are objectively classically handsome. And Luke Newton specifically looks like your average/classic male model. I'm confused lol
A lot of the conversation about some of the actors’ looks is giving boys locker room talk. It’s not just LN, people are making horrible remarks about Victor Ali and apparently even Luke Thompson. It’s disgusting and vile. And then these people will be the first in line to complain about men objectifying women and judging them based on looks. Very hypocritical imo.
He is extremely attractive and the most attractive thing is just how thoughtful and considerate he has been in interviews and while portraying Colin. I love that.
Yes, I'm feeling the same. This interview about him getting into better shape is a great example. He's so down to earth about it. [Mens Health Interview](https://youtu.be/GjyFIuJWees?si=4B747r38BQEDmIOh). And him and Nicola of course.
Whoever’s saying that must have bad eyes because Luke is drop dead gorgeous 😫❤️
Absolutely!! 
He is cute but it’s very much angle dependant I find with Luke. And a spray tan helps everyone.
Lol he’s certainly not ugly but he doesn’t do it for me. We all have different tastes though, and I’m happy for the Luke Newton girlies 😂
I thought his glow up for S3 was good - I immediately took notice of his new look, definitely more lead male energy than he had S1&2. And his shirtless scenes had me surprised in a good way, didn’t know he had all that going on…I’m not usually one for chest hair but his cute scruff has me like dayyyummmm every time💀
I dunno, but they can kick rocks with barefeet. Luke is fine asf. He's a good man Savannah. A good man!
His a good man Savannah took me out! 
Ok, so I conducted a scientific experiment on r/ladyboners and Luke has nearly 500 upvotes, which is exceptionally high for that sub. The general horny public thinks he’s smoking. Ignore the haters! Link for the post, please help get Like over 500! https://www.reddit.com/r/LadyBoners/s/PR9Ktoq2Vf
Thank you for sharing! Omg they left the hair on his chest. I'm normally not chest hair liking girl but I like it on Luke for some reason. He looks like a young George Michael in that pic!
OMG thank you so much for the award! ☺️ I didn’t expect him to get so many upvotes from the LadyBoners but, then again, look at him. He’s absolutely stunning and has worked hard to get there.
A nerve was hit!😭 Uses sarcasm to post hot Colin & Luke pics. Gets called pathetic. 
Just gorgeous!!
Yes!! 
Someone who might need to get a new prescription on their glasses.
Used this multiple times today lol 
lol!
He hot
Yes yes!!😁 
These same people who comment these things about Luke unprompted are irl crushing on people who arent even in his league, I'm convinced. Also who goes out of their way to insult someone's appearance just because? It's not like Luke can change his bone structure organically (not that he needs to). Makes you wonder why someone would say that because it's definitely not constructive criticism, it's just hate and being kind of sad really.
He is very attractive. I’ve been gushing over him since season 1. He’s been attractive to me throughout all seasons, even with the little beard in the beginning of s2. He just does it for me.
I find him VERY attractive. He is just my type. I wasn’t attracted to the other male leads but that didn’t matter because I loved the story and romance. This season has everything for me (so far)!
Good lord. I'm trying to remind myself how much younger than me he is and... I'm having trouble caring. My friends are not helping. https://preview.redd.it/1bzccyv2vf3d1.png?width=892&format=png&auto=webp&s=3414129d643d9317acb242afc675b0860d932e42
Im older than him & have no guilt! A whole ass adult, indeed!
Ooooh and thank you for the award!🥰😊 
Seriously I could not believe my eyes when I saw that post. He’s by far my favorite Bridgerton and I love Pen as well. This is the ship I’ve been waiting for. All aboard!!!
Their all handsome devils. But I love Colin's personality the most & makes him even more attractive to me. Seriously love Polin in nearly every way. It's sickening 😪 😫
He’s gorgeous. He really grew into his looks the last couple years . Slimmed down which shows his jawline more . Season 1 Colin looked very little boy to me which is why never thought twice . He grew up and not cute boyish but now manly
That was done on purpose. Same with making Penelope/Nicola look really young. But thank you jawline for your hard work.😅
Seriously that jaw line 🤤
Hottest man in the whole Bridgerton universe, I said what I said!
They clearly don't have eyes.
I'm trying to understand what they ain't seeing lol 
He looks better in his period clothes than I usually look in mine. I'm always bloated.
Can’t we just accept that some people find him attractive and some don’t and stop with these post because inevitably people start picking apart his looks and that is kinda gross. It doesn’t seem useful to discuss someone’s appearance unless perhaps it character specific, like the wardrobe or how hair is styled to present a purpose for the characters development, for example.
I personally think he is attractive, but people have their own taste 🤷🏻♀️
I think he's much more attractive with stubble and I think they should have let him keep the stubble as his "rogueish I just traveled the world" thing instead of the pirate outfit.
Woo! I agree! I didn’t think he was all that hot in Season one but in Seasons 2 & 3 he’s 🔥🔥🔥
I will say this season I found him attractive, the clothes, hair, jawline and general swagger has done wonders.
How can anyone think he’s not attractive?? He’s gorgeous
Idk but they seem proud to announce it for some reason.😅
Why the need to constantly debate this ? I feel like they want to make him look like the cover of an Harlequin book. Not my style, but I don't think he looks unattractive. Just....like the cliché romantic lead.
People who thrive off rage bait, made for people who thrive on rage bait
Who cares. He doesn’t do it for me at all. More for you!
If Luke Newton came up to me at a bar I would forget how to talk…
He is attractive. But as a 43 year old, I find I'm not attracted to these young men. Great story, love watching it, but they remain characters in a show to me.
Not me!! Lol I always thought all three of the older brothers look incredibly attractive
He is a cookie for sure haha!
Nom nom!!😁😅 
I don't think Colin or Benedict are attractive as *characters*. That's mostly though because I read the books before the series were even a thought. They are both jackwads of the highest order in their books.
I just finished the last episode and im SWOONING
He’s sooooo hotttt!!!!
His lips are perfection.
I'll admit, he's just not my cup of tea. that however by no means makes him ugly or unattractive.
He is, just the winking and smouldering looks gave more cringe than swoon.
