Regé-Jean’s castmate Adjoa Andoh expressed her opinion on the matter to Good Morning Britain hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, saying he would be a “marvelous Bond” if chosen for the role.
“The thing with Regé is that he’s beautiful – don’t tell him I said that! – he’s beautiful, he’s very smart.
“He’s a fantastically funny, sharp actor, so he could take on any role you give him really, annoyingly.
“So yes, he’d be a marvelous Bond if they ever decided to go that way – no doubt at all.”
Regé has further fueled speculation as he has refused to deny that he was offered the spot.
During a quiz on The Graham Norton Show last week, he insisted that he would not be speaking about the “B” word.
“Bridgerton is the only ‘B” word I am allowed to say – I am not going to talk about the other ‘B’ words!” he urged.
Many fans support the decision, as one wrote: “We need Rege-Jean Page to be the next Bond, he’s set for stardom,” and a second agreed: “He would make a great Bond, he was so gorgeous in Bridgerton.”

“It’s also vitally important because it is the fifth and final one that Daniel Craig is going to be doing, so it’s a culmination of everything his portrayal of the character has been through and it ties up all the storylines. “It’s a pretty epic film, I have to say,” she revealed.
The movie is set to release on April 2nd.
