Regé-Jean Page opens up about reprising 'Bridgerton' role: "I'm very happy to support everyone who's in the show"
Regé-Jean Page, known for his breakout role as Simon Basset in Netflix's Bridgerton, has addressed the topic of returning to the show.
In a recent interview promoting his new film Black Bag, Page revealed that while he has immense support for the cast, he is currently focusing on his evolving career rather than a return to Bridgerton.
'I'm very happy to support everyone who's in the show,' Page shared with Entertainment Tonight. 'Everyone's finding fantastic success, but with the show and personal projects, I'm just super happy to say that.' His comments highlight his ongoing support for the Bridgerton cast, despite shifting his focus to other projects.
Although he has frequently been linked to the idea of playing the next James Bond, Page clarified that he's not actively pursuing the role. Instead, the actor is focusing on his current roles, including his appearance in the upcoming spy thriller Black Bag.
Following his success in Bridgerton, Page's career has flourished, with prominent roles in The Gray Man (2022) alongside Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) alongside Chris Pine. In Black Bag, he stars as Col. James Stokes, alongside Cate Blanchett, Pierce Brosnan, and Naomie Harris.
While Bridgerton fans eagerly await news of Simon Basset's return, Page's current focus is on his rapidly expanding career. With his latest projects gaining attention, it seems the actor is ready to explore new horizons.

R Truth released: WWE veteran leaves company, alongside Carlito of Judgement Day
WWE veteran Ron Killings, widely known as R-Truth, has announced his departure from the company after nearly 20 years of on-and-off tenure. It comes on the heels of Carlito, member of the Judgement Day, also announcing his contract won't be renewed. The 53-year-old performer confirmed the news on social media Sunday, saying he had been released from his contract. 'I want to thank WWE for the ride,' R-Truth wrote on X, 'but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride.' Im sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE.

R-Truth's departure follows a brief yet headline-grabbing storyline with John Cena, part of the latter's ongoing farewell tour.

A two-time United States Champion and multiple-time tag titleholder, R-Truth is best known for his comedic timing and record-breaking reign as WWE 24/7 Champion—having won the belt an astonishing 54 times. He first joined WWE in 1999 under the name K-Kwik and returned in 2008 after a stint in TNA Wrestling. Carlito, who had also returned to WWE in recent years after a long hiatus, also announced that his contract won't be renewed by WWE. My contract is up in 2 weeks. It will not be renewed. On top of that, WWE is demanding I pay back the $ they paid me for apparently 'stealing money' from the company.

Both exits come at a time of transition within WWE, as the promotion continues to reshape its roster following WrestleMania 41. R-Truth's next move remains unknown. At 53, he remains one of the sport's most enduring entertainers, with fans and colleagues expressing widespread admiration across social media following his announcement.
