'Bridgerton' star Regé-Jean Page can't help but smolder in his 'SNL' monologue

It's not his fault that he looks, sounds, and probably smells like the duke.

'Bridgerton' star Regé-Jean Page can't help but smolder in his 'SNL' monologue

Everyone knows that actors aren't really the characters they play on TV, but in the case of Bridgerton's breakout star Regé-Jean Page that's easy to forget. He looks, sounds, smolders, probably smells like Duke Simon....sorry, that got away from us. Mmm. Simon.

Page played up the misconception that he's just like the duke in his Saturday Night Live monologue, insisting at every moment that he's just a normal, nerdy guy even as the women of the show fall apart just being near him and he keeps staring deeply into the camera with those soulful brown eyes...

What? You're still here. He also sings a little in this, with a really beautiful voice. That part's great. Anyway, just watch it. We're fine over here. Totally fine.
