A new update on his part in the drama was released by the actor on social media.
Simon Basset, a character who has become a favorite of viewers of the historical-romance period drama “Bridgerton,” based on the books of Julia Quinn, was performed by Regé-Jean Page in the show’s first season.
Recently, speculations over his return undoubtedly multiplied as soon as he shared a photo on Instagram of him and his “Bridgerton” co-star Jonathan Bailey meeting in Italy with the caption, “Jonathan Bailey had met for some catching up in Italy.”
In the post, Page also addressed whether or not he would return to the program, writing, “(No, I’m not going back to the show btw – the papers made that one up.) But we had the best, and most stylish, catch up I’ve had in a while over some truly excellent Italian coffee and sunshine ☕️”
Page is now quite busy, though, since he co-stars in the forthcoming Netflix thriller “The Gray Man” alongside Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, which is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo.
In an interview with IndieWire, he discussed playing the chief of the CIA’s clandestine services in the movie, stating, “There’s a lot of shadow and contrast to this character, it’s something that I don’t think people have seen a lot of from me specifically before, which was great fun for me to play with.”
“These people live in the shadows, you kind of gotta discover them in the movie,” he continued, also noting how the role helped him discover a new aspect of his acting skills. The movie will be available on Netflix on July 22.
