We have some seriously exciting news. Bridgerton star and talk of the ton, Regé-Jean Page is currently in Ireland.
Reports shared online have spotted the actor, who plays Simon, the Duke of Hastings in the Netflix period drama, arriving in Belfast. The 31-year-old is here shooting a new film here in Ireland, Dungeons and Dragons.
The popular fantasy game has been adapted into a film and is set to star a number of other A-listers including Chris Pine, Justice Smith and Michelle Rodriguez.
This news comes just after Regé revealed that he will not be returning to Netflix’s Bridgerton for season two. In an Instagram post the actor shared a snap of him in character captioned; “The ride of a life time.”
“It’s been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to be your Duke. Joining this family – not just on screen, but off screen too.”
“Our incredibly creative and generous cast, crew, outstanding fans – it’s all been beyond anything I could have imagined. The love is real.”
Since the show has been confirmed for a second season most fans assumed that he would be back on our screens, so this news came as quite a shock.

The news was also revealed by none other than Lady Whistledown herself, in a society page posted on the Bridgerton Instagram account reading; “Dear Readers, while all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s quest to find a Viscountess, we bid adieu to Regé-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings.”
“We’ll miss Simon’s presence onscreen, but he will always be a part of the Bridgerton family. Daphne will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer – more intrigue and romance than my readers may be able to bear.”
Although we won’t be spotting him in Bridgerton anytime soon, our Belfast readers might get an IRL sighting. If restrictions weren’t in place we’d be off to Belfast stat.
