With “No Time to Die” Daniel Craig (53) hit the last 007 trap: The Bond actor is retiring from agents. And even now there is wild speculation about his successor.
A name that keeps coming up: Regé-Jean Page (31), most known as the hot duke of the Netflix hit series “Bridgerton”. Especially since it became known that the 31-year-old will not be there in season two, the evidence of a possible 007 role has intensified.
First of all, Regé-Jean himself fueled the rumors when he published a video of himself as Duke in Bridgerton on his Twitter account in December and wrote: “Regency, royal family. Shaken and stirred ”.
A wink with the fence post?
When asked whether he would play the famous spy, Regé-Jean US talk show host Jimmy Fallon took the wind out of the sails a few months ago:
“Ah, the B word. I think when you’re British and you’re doing something worth mentioning that other people notice, they automatically start talking about it. ”He added,“ I think that’s pretty normal and I’m flattered about that one Belonging to the British category that caught the audience’s attention. No more – or less – than that. “
But the actor is still considered a hot favorite by bookmakers.
From a purely visual point of view, quite a bit fits: The 31-year-old was last seen casually in a velvet tuxedo on the red carpet at the London Film Festival – he posed smoothly like Bond veteran Daniel Craig at his last 007 premiere in September.
At Regé-Jeans side: his adorable girlfriend Emily Brown (30), freelance copywriter and amateur soccer player from London.
The couple recently bought a house together in London. Still, the two don’t make a big fuss about their relationship.
The fact that the “Bridgerton” Duke is in firm hands was not officially found out by fans until the beginning of September, when Regé-Jean appeared on the red carpet for the first time at the “GQ Men of the Year” awards.
Should the TV star actually inherit Daniel Craig soon, Emily will have to get used to flashing lights, screaming fans and red carpet appearances …
