Regé-Jean Page, alone with the Bridgerton actor, who was in Buenos Aires

Whether to be the Duke of Hastings in the first season of Bridgerton gave him fame and gave him a popularity and recognition that he did not have before, Rege-Jean page it seems that very few recognized him as he passed through Buenos Aires.

The 34-year-old actor, for whom all women are excited, was among us shooting an advertisement for a famous clothing brand in Milan.

Born in London on January 24, 1988, Page has been nominated for Emmy Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Black Reel Awards for Television, Satellite Awards and TV Choice Awards. Well no, he hasn’t won any yet, but he will certainly continue to have nominations: his future is a good omen.

In 2017, Page was appointed by Variety as one of the top 10 TV stars to watch out for. Do you remember him in a Harry Potter movie? Regé-Jean was extra Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010), as can be seen in the photo below. In the theater she participated The merchant of Venice Y The boys of history.

But the chance to interview the 1.80m star comes from her role in another Netflix production, but in film format. In the gray manIf you’ve already seen the streaming giant’s most expensive production ($ 200 million), you’ll recognize that Denny Carmichael, a CIA authority, is a vile character, and not exactly on the side of the good guys in the movie they play. Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.

And of course we also talk about Bridgerton… And why didn’t you accept Netflix’s offer?

My dear Buenos Aires

-What memories do you have of your fleeting visit to Buenos Aires? You were in January of this year with your partner, Emily Brown, shooting a fashion commercial.

-Yes, I was working in Buenos Aires in January. It was fun. We were running around the city. The city was hot, I was sweating. Everything was very, very green and lush. The food was great. I don’t have a word to complain, it was wonderful. I would be back in a second.

-When brothers Anthony and Joe Russo offered you your role in “The Gray Man”, what did they tell you? What did they ask you? I mean indications of your character.

-They are very open. They say “Hey, bring what you want”. So it was like we were looking for a way to bring something unexpected to the set. Have fun with Denny (his character), they told me. And I was like “Wow, that sounds good”.

-And how do directors work? Does one spend more time with the actors and the other is more attentive to the technical aspects?

They both do it all. (Thinks about it) Yes. No, they finish each other’s sentences. Literally.

-And what’s the most surprising thing about working with the Russo brothers?

-I would say it is generosity. I mean, we talk about it a lot. They are incredibly generous creative beings at all times. You can have a conversation about any part of the script, any questions regarding the characters, that there are no limits on where your imagination can go in this set that you share with them. And I think it’s something that all of us actors like.

-And were you surprised that they called you to play such an unpleasant character, a villain in a suit and tie?

-Hmmm. I mean, I’ll accept the compliment that was unexpected. Thank you very much. I guess this means I’m nice. Yes, I know playing Denny was fun, but the joy of playing characters considered more evil is that I never approach the characters as good or bad.

The joy of a film like this, the gray manis that everyone lives in this moral zone of the gray man. I think Denny is very flexible morally. I think he’s more determined than he should be. You have a hard time finding your limits.

Among the projects we will see in the future, Regé is The Paladin in a new adaptation of Dungeons and Dragons. In the film she plays a starring role alongside Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Hugh Grant. The film is in post-production phase, it doesn’t have a certain release date, but it is known that it will be in the course of next year.

More uncertain is his participation in another adaptation, in this case of a TV series like The Saint, who already had his own film, with Val Kilmer. Much has been said that Simon Templar will be him, but there is no confirmed filming start date.

And if I do The Saint It’s something, for now, inaccurate, especially as he’s finally agent 007 in the next James Bond films. Yes, he is one of the strongest candidates.

For the end, let’s leave the question on Bridgerton, while fans are begging for his character to return, albeit in a cameo, in some upcoming season. Page said no to Netflix’s offer, which offered to pay him $ 50,000 per episode to reprise his role as Duke of Hastings.

-What do you miss about “Bridgerton”?

-I want to tell you that it was a great time, but every job has its advantages. Each job takes you to a different part of what you do. Every work I’ve done is an opportunity to explore different parts of myself and different parts of what is written in the script. Like all characters, they are fantastic. Thank you.
