Regé-Jean Page highlighted the straightforward and unglamorous reason for his departure from Bridgerton.
When it was revealed that the immensely gorgeous character Simon Basset would not return to Netflix’s Regency-era romance series, which also stars Phoebe Dynevor and Jonathan Bailey, fans were distraught.
The surprise news even surprised Kim Kardashian.
Although fans were anticipating for a surprise cameo from The Gray Mann actor, 34, Rege stated that there are presently no preparations for a character comeback.
‘I signed up to do a job, and I did the job, and then I did some other jobs,’ he said, explaining why he didn’t appear alongside his beloved Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe) in season two. That’s the story.’
‘I wish it was more glamorous than that,’ he added to Vanity Fair.
That’s all there is to it!
Rege has been considered to portray the next James Bond after a stunning performance in the romance series!
Regé immediately led the pack and was mentioned in casting rumours with Harry Styles, James Norton, Henry Cavil, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
While the actor seems thrilled by the attention, he appears to be preoccupied at the time.
‘It’s not a thing that is fully occupying my thoughts,’ he said.
‘I’ve got enough on my plate at the moment. I worry about the work I have, not other people’s jobs.’
Season three of Bridgerton is now in development, and will centre on Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), nicknamed gossip queen Lady Whistledown, and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
While the series is set in the English capital during the Regency era and is produced by Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland, some members of the cast were sighted filming season 3 in Bath last month.
Bridgerton is available to stream on Netflix.
