‘Bridgerton’ star Calam Lynch BEGGED for shirtless scenes!

Please spare a thought for poor Calam Lynch. The poor lad was desperate to take his top off in Bridgerton but the appropriate scene never occurred. His character, printer’s assistant Theo Sharpe, kept his shirt on for the entire second season.

“I work out anyway, so I was like, ‘Finally, there’s a reason. I can show the world!'” Lynch, 27, tells Page Six with a laugh in an exclusive new interview.

“I was pestering [executive producers] Tom [Verica] and Chris [Van Dusen] and everyone on set being like, ‘What do you think? Maybe Theo’s topless in this scene? Maybe he’s doing the printing but he’s topless.'”

Although Lynch admittedly dreamt up “any excuse for Theo to be topless in the show,” he sadly notes, “That certainly didn’t happen.”

Lynch plays an important role in the romantic Netflix series: a potential love interest for Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), who comes to him in search of information on the true identity of Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews). The two nearly share a kiss, but as of now, their relationship is doomed because of their vastly different social classes.

Let us take a look at him with his shirt off. Hopefully he'll have the opportunity to get his tits out for us in the future!
