Phoebe Dynevor is opening up about working with Rege-Jean Page on Bridgerton.
The 25-year-old Daphne Bridgerton actress spoke with Glamour in a new profile and shared that Rege was the “perfect Simon.”
“He’s very polite and gentlemanly and all the things that Simon is…” Phoebe continued. “Well, Simon’s a lot more than gentlemanly and polite. But Regé definitely had that composure of a Regency man. I saw it straight away.”
She also says that she has learned a lot from working with Rege so closely on the Netflix show.
“I think we worked really well together, and I learned a lot from him. We have different acting styles, so we bounced off each other in that respect,” she says. “We both were on the same page about the characters and what their relationship was. I loved working with him.”
A big question that Phoebe is getting a lot with many of her interviews about Bridgerton is what Rege smells like, too.
“Why have so many people asked me that?” she mused in the interview. “He smells really, really nice. He never, ever had bad breath, and he doesn’t smoke or anything like that.”
Phoebe added, “We both drink a lot of coffee, so sometimes we both smell like that, which was fine. He’s unscented in a good way.”
Previously, Rege opened up about how coffee was his “vice” on the set of the show.
“I’m a being of caffeine when I work. It is a vice, but as far as vices go, I’ll take it,” he recently told Netflix Queue. “We had a very, very nice coffee van that had very, very friendly people in it. It was my escape spot at every given moment of the day.”
