The actor told Lorraine Kelly that his life has changed dramatically since appearing on the series. He said: "When I booked the job I was living on my mate's sofa bed and I was working in a bar, and I actually drove past the bar the other week. It's so crazy how in three years your life can change."
Reflecting on how times have changed since the show's initial release, 29-year-old Luke remembered promoting it from his grandma's house. He said: "It was so different celebrating the two different years. Compared to this year being on the red carpet, I was doing press from my nan's spare room [for the first series], which actually was as special to me."
Bridgerton returns to Netflix on March 25.
