Nicola Coughlan
Nicola Coughlan, the Irish actress known for roles in Bridgerton and Derry Girls, has been publicly vocal in her support for Palestine and a ceasefire in Gaza since October 2023. She has described the situation in Gaza as involving “war crimes” and expressed horror at the “horrific” violence, particularly the impact on civilians and children facing starvation. Coughlan has called on the U.S. to stop sending arms to Israel, emphasizing that the majority of Palestinians and Israelis want peace rather than continued violence.
She has also raised over $500,000 for medical aid organizations supporting Palestinians in Gaza through fundraising efforts on social media. In interviews, she has stated that “the killing of innocent people is never right” and discussed facing potential professional repercussions in Hollywood for her advocacy, but she continues to speak out.
