Regé-Jean Page on life after ‘Bridgerton’ and that James Bond speculation

“I spend a lot of time at the moment talking about what other people are saying about me, as opposed to anything I’m actually doing,” the “Bridgerton” star told Variety in a recent interview.

From his rise to global fame via one of Netflix’s hottest shows to hosting “Saturday Night Live” and causing a clamor for him to take over the James Bond role from Daniel Craig, Page is definitely having a moment.

“Me and my friends used to joke about the fact that you don’t see a Black man on a horse,” he said.

There’s been lots of speculation that Page could become the first James Bond. He jokingly refers to it as the “B-word.”

“I can’t talk about the B-word, because I’ve got nothing to say on the B-word,” he said. “I can’t talk about which jobs I’m not doing, because I’m not doing them, [but] I’m very happy with the work I am doing.”

Page is keeping busy with forthcoming roles in the films “Dungeons & Dragons” and “The Gray Man.”

And he’s found a mentor of sorts in “This Is Us” star Sterling K. Brown, who Page met during the 2016 Emmy season.

Brown was impressed.

“He wasn’t somebody who’s like, ‘Give me a couple of years and I’ll be making $10 million a flick,'” Brown said of Page. “He really loves the art of illuminating the human condition.”
