Bridgerton star Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton) is jacked now

It seems Luke Newton is more than ready to step into the spotlight in the upcoming third season of Bridterton and underwent quite the physical transformation to get ready for his leading man moment!

Newton, who plays Colin Bridgerton on Netflix’s period drama, recently enjoyed some fun in the sun alongside friends Sienna-Eve Goluppi and Rory Maguire, where he showed fans he’s more than ready for the shirtless scenes coming in season 3. Rocking a simple pair of Nike shorts, Newton showed off some serious muscles in the photo which have turned heads and left fans stunned.

While Newton has always been in amazing shape, it’s clear he underwent a fitness regime to get ready for Bridgerton‘s third season which will tell the love story of Colin and Penelope Featherington.
