Yahoo News Queen Charlotte star Freddie Dennis admits "crying" over HBO show
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story star Freddie Dennis has admitted to "crying quite a lot" while watching a certain HBO show.
In a profile piece for WWD, the actor spoke about how the fourth and final season of HBO's Succession had him feeling very emotional as it led up to its finale episode.
"It's witty, sharp and heart-wrenching as well," Freddie said of the series.
"This season, there's been an added element of more humanity than in the other seasons."

Freddie, who's the son of Outnumbered and Mock the Week's Hugh Dennis, also spoke about his role as the uptight Reynolds on the Netflix spin-off Queen Charlotte.
"That was one of the things I found hardest actually," he said, "because I'm quite empathetic and compassionate, but there's only so much of that Reynolds is allowed to show. There was a lot of working out just when and where to be human...
"When you watch yourself because you know yourself so well, it's very difficult to divorce Freddie from the character of Reynolds."
He continued: "I will always see myself and see what I’m doing and remember what had happened on either side of the action and cut. It's really difficult not to be quite vain, which I don't like. It should be about character and performance, but why does my forehead look so massive?"
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy recently, Freddie and his co-star Sam Clemmett, who plays Brimsley, revealed a blunder that made it into Queen Charlotte.
"We were so nervous — there's a particular take that one of us, or maybe both of us, messed up the dance, and then we fall into a fit of hysterics," Sam said of the scene he and Freddie filmed together.
"That's actually in the final episode. That made the cut. So watching that moment just brought the joy of what that scene is, and what it meant to us."
Bridgerton seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Netflix, along with Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
