Reality TV star Paige DeSorbo regrets the way she described the British actor based on his skin tone when expressing her support for him to be the next James Bond.

Jan 20, 2021
AceShowbiz – Rege-Jean Page has found himself at the center of controversy albeit having no part in making the mistake. The actor has got an apology from “Summer House” star Paige DeSorbo after she made colorist remark about the Brit stud.
Realizing that the way she “described an actor’s skin tone when describing his appearance” could be interpreted as “offensive” to others, the reality TV star has issued an apology. “I wanted to take time to sincerely apologize to anyone that I may have offended,” the Bravo star said in the Sunday, January 17, episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast.
“It was not my intention and I recognize [that] what I said was wrong,” she added, before promising to be better. “I am completely committed to learning and growing, so I just wanted to take time today and sincerely apologize for my words from last week. I’m very sorry.”

Paige’s co-host and fellow Summer House star Hannah Berner also took responsibility for not calling out Paige right away over the remark. “Because we are the Giggly Squad and we are a team, I also want to apologize for not saying anything in the moment,” the 29-year-old said. “But as the Giggly Squad, we own our s**t and we are committed to [continuing] to learn – also to unlearn – and to [continuing] to grow.”
Hannah claimed that she and Paige were on a “journey to educate ourselves” and recommended that their fans, who also want to educate themselves on the issue, watch a documentary called “Dark Girls”. “It’s beautifully made and we can’t just recommend it enough, especially if you want to further educate yourself,” she described it.
Paige previously weighed in on rumors that Rege has been touted by fans as the next James Bond following the success of his Netflix series “Bridgerton”. Showing her support for the actor’s casting, the New York native said in an episode of her podcast he would make a great Bond because “he’s real British [and] he’s light-skinned.”

The ‘For the People’ actor is flattered to be linked to the James Bond movie following his role on the Netflix period drama as he considers it a ‘merit badge.’

Jan 12, 2021
AceShowbiz – Rege-Jean Page has put an end to rumours of a romance with his “Bridgerton” co-star Phoebe Dynevor.
The pair star as Simon Basset and Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix period drama, which has been a massive hit worldwide since its release. Their intimate relationship on screen has led to speculation they might be an item in real life, but Page was quick to shoot down the rumours during an interview with Access Hollywood.
“I think that everything you need to know is on camera,” he laughed. “The sparky words, scripts and material are more than enough.”

Page’s admission about his relationship with Phoebe came after he also opened up about reports he’s in the running to take over from Daniel Craig as the next James Bond, after bookmakers’ odds were slashed for him to take on the part.
“I think there might be an element of cultural translation to be done here,” he said. “Like if you’re a Brit, and you do something of any kind of renown, that people regard well, then people start saying the ‘B’ word (Bond). It’s like a merit badge, you get the ‘B’ word merit badge.”
“But I don’t think it’s much more than that. I’m very, very glad to have the badge. I’m glad to be in such wonderful company of people who have the badge. But it’s a badge.”
The new TV series is produced by Shonda Rhimes. It’s one of her projects for Netflix following her departure from ABC after working for the Alphabet for 15 years.

The Duke of Hastings depicter first fueled the speculation that he was in the running for the role of the secret agent with his social media post, in which he made a reference to Bond’s martini preference.

Jan 7, 2021
AceShowbiz – Rege-Jean Page has entered the ring of competition to be the new James Bond. The British-Zimbabwean actor’s name has been thrown in the list of possible actors to replace Daniel Craig as the 007 agent in future installment(s) of the spy film franchises following the success of his Netflix series “Bridgerton”.
The Duke of Hastings of the period drama has increased his odds of taking on the role of the super spy, according to British betting firm Ladbrokes. As reported by Variety, Page is now just 5/1 in the betting with Ladbrokes to replace Craig as Bond, having previously been 40/1 before Christmas.
“Tom Hardy still leads the way as favorite, with James Norton close behind in second place,” Ladbrokes representative Alex Apati tells the site. “But it really is all to play for in the race for 007 and RJP has a great chance if the odds are anything to go by.”
Noting that this kind of shift in the odds isn’t uncommon in the wake of a successful show, Apati cites a previous example, “It’s the reason Cillian Murphy was once favorite during the peak of ‘Peaky Blinders’.” He goes on explaining, “All of those aforementioned names have seen their odds slashed immediately after a huge hype around the show they most recently starred in, hence why it’s no surprise to see a similar pattern with Rege-Jean Page.”
He adds, “However, what strengthens RJP’s chances somewhat more is that an announcement feels seemingly imminent [around] Daniel Craig’s replacement, so the timing of ‘Bridgerton’ success may well have worked in his favor.”

The actor himself stirred the speculation last month with his social media post. On December 19, Page shared promo clip of his hit drama “Bridgerton” featuring him in character, who is described as “equal parts desirable and scandalous.” He captioned it with, “Regency, royalty. Shaken and stirred,” which was a reference to how Bond likes his martini mixed.

A number of fans supported him as the next Bond, with one tweeting, “Watching Bridgerton and thinking that @regejean would make a brilliant new James Bond.” Another weighed in, “If @regejean is the new James Bond… I’ll actually watch a James Bond.”
When someone pointed out that Page may be a little young for the part, another fan insisted, “He’s 31, Craig was 38 on first Bond but I still think he’s perfect for the role. Great age for reboot.”
Prior to starring on “Bridgerton”, Page has already been known for his role as Chicken George on 2016’s miniseries “Roots”. He also starred as a regular cast member on ABC’s legal drama “For the People” from 2018 to 2019.
