Los Angeles, March 28 – Hollywood actress Halle Bailey has revealed which character she would most like to portray in the hit Netflix period drama “Bridgerton”, and stated that she has her sights set on one of the show's most prominent roles.
“I love Bridgerton. I would want to play the role of the queen, because she is amazing, gets to choose the diamond of the season, matchmake, and watch people fall in love,” Bailey told Guardian, according to femalefirst.co.uk.
Bailey, who stars alongside Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page in the new romantic movie "You, Me and Tuscany," also praised her co-star.
She said: "Reg is so funny. He's such a warm, kind-hearted guy. I feel his English accent really comes out now that we're here in London. When we're in my home — LA — it goes in and out. I hope some of his English charm rubbed off on me."
The 26-year-old actress also revealed that she would love to take on a horror role next, having been impressed by the recent box-office hit "Sinners," which starred Michael B Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld.
The "Little Mermaid" actress said: "I'd love to do a horror. When I saw "Sinners," I thought, 'I wish I was in that movie!' All the things that I've done so far are very nice but lighthearted, so I'd love to do something a bit heavier."
Meanwhile, Bailey has also opened up about her close relationship with Beyoncé, describing the Grammy-winning star as a "cool auntie".
The actress, who has known Beyoncé since she was 15, said that she still turns to the chart-topping singer for guidance on her music.
The actress, who released her debut solo album, "Love?... or Something Like It," in 2025, said: "I do still reach out and say, 'Hey, can you listen to this and tell me your opinion?' She's always so responsive and attentive, but she also lets you be you. She just lets you fly."
