Regé-Jean Page Reveals How It Felt to Watch His Steamy ‘Bridgerton’ Scenes What His Family Thought
Regé-Jean Page‘s breakout role as Simon, the Duke of Hastings, in Bridgerton shot him to stardom when the hit period drama dropped on Netflix in December 2020. Fans particularly fawned over the 31-year-old British actor for his steamy scenes (including that sexy moment in episode 5) with costar Phoebe Dynevor, who plays his love interest Daphne Bridgerton. But how did Regé-Jean’s loved ones feel about the star baring it all for the role? “No one was sufficiently prepared. I wasn’t sufficiently prepared, and I was there,” Regé-Jean said in a new roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter, where he was joined by Chris Rock (Fargo), Josh O’Conner (The Crown), Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country), and John Boyega (Small Axe).
