Adjoa Andoh felt ready to film 'Bridgerton' "30 years ago".
The 60-year-old actress plays Lady Danbury in the hit Netflix show, and Adjoa has relished the experience of shooting 'Bridgerton' alongside such a diverse cast.
Adjoa told the Guardian newspaper: "I was ready for 'Bridgerton' 30 years ago.
"But as we know, things take a long time to catch up. I think that genie’s out of the bottle now in terms of fictional historical drama, unless maybe you’re setting something in Iceland in 50 BC."
Adjoa is open about her political beliefs. However the actress has never been pigeonholed into political parts.
She said: "I’m a middle-class woman from Gloucestershire, who’s a reader in the Church of England, with three children and a grandson.
"I support Leeds United, my values are more socialist than anything. I’ve been an advocate for people of colour, for women, for trans people, for LGBTQIs, for refugees, pick your poison. But the point is, I’m all of those things."
Earlier this year, Adjoa revealed that she felt "tired" of discussing the issue of race.
The veteran actress feels frustrated that she's constantly asked about racial issues.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Adjoa explained: "Race is just one aspect of who we are.
"I get tired of only talking about race. I am so many other things. I am a mother. I'm an ex-punk rocker. I am a freak for all sorts of different sorts of music. I'm a member of my Church. I'm a Leeds United supporter until my dying days. There's a whole load of other things that I am...
"And I think what happens to people of colour is that we get stuck in the lane of race all the time. We have to navigate that, and it's not our only conversation."
