💫 Regé‑Jean Page – The Irresistible Duke of Hastings

Netflix’s Bridgerton

Regé‑Jean Page leapt into global fame as Simon Basset, the magnetic Duke of Hastings in Bridgerton. His smoldering chemistry, emotional depth, and stylish charm made him an instant heartthrob. Although his story arc concluded in Season 1 by design, he left a lasting legacy—and a Duke-shaped void fans still dream of filling.

Since then, Page has taken on varied roles: a high-octane spy in Black Bag (2025), a ruthless assassin in The Gray Man (2022), and an adventurous hero in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023). His recent announcement of a rom-com Italianna, co-starring Halle Bailey, proved his romance credentials remain strong—even beyond Regency London.
