If you have been on the internet recently, you may have noticed fans speculating and hoping that he will become the next James Bond.
If it isn’t going to be Idris, I fully support Rege-Jean Page as the next James Bond.
Well, the British-Zimbabwean actor recently entered The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he addressed the rumors.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how unbelievable he looks with that high collar ?? If that photo were the poster for your James Bond film, I guarantee that half the country would broadcast it.
“The internet thinks a lot of things, and this is one of the most pleasant. So, I’m satisfied with that,” he said with a smile.
“I think there may be an element of cultural translation to be done here. If you are a Brit and do something of any kind of reputation that people consider well, then people start saying the word B. the merit badge with the word B, “he continued.
“I am very, very happy to have the emblem. I am happy to be in the wonderful company of people who have the emblem. But it is an emblem,” he concluded.
Am I the only one who is super disappointed to hear that ?! Regé would make a beautiful Bond! Are you listening, casting agents? LOVELY!!
Netflix
I think I could always watch again Bridgerton for the third time while I wait for your future projects to come out!
