Luke Thompson interview: A Little Life (TimeOut)

The ‘Bridgerton’ actor has his biggest stage role in Ivo van Hove’s adaptation of Hanya Yanagihara’s tragic bestseller

Luke Thompson is having his cake and eating it. Figuratively: that’s how he describes simultaneously filming season three of ‘Bridgerton’, Netflix’s hugely successful TV series, and rehearsing for Ivo van Hove’s West End stage adaptation of Hanya Yanagihara’s bestselling novel ‘A Little Life.’ And literally: he’s tucking into a vanilla-and-passionfruit cake while chatting about his busy schedule, using words like ‘lucky’ and ‘blessed’ as he munches away in Terry’s, a 1940s time-capsule caff in Southwark.
