Still on Bridgeton stars, the Duke of Hastings has caused quite a buzz on social media.
He is young, he is famous and he is rich and definitely hot. Regé-Jean Page is a British-Zimbabwean actor who was born in 1990.
He has proven that in the history of all black actors he has something all ladies want and that’s the good looking face that comes armoured in a good body.
He is no stranger to stellar performance and any role he plays he embodies it. Whether it is playing the shrewd lawyer on ‘For the people’ or what he currently plays on ‘Bridgerton’ that has brought him more stardom and global recognition his way, he is just a genius who also looks fine.
