AceShowbiz – Rege-Jean Page opened up more about his shocking decision to leave “Bridgerton“ after just one season. In a new interview, the actor, who played Duke Simon Basset on the hit Netflix series, revealed that the reason for his departure was not a complicated matter.

“I signed up to do a job and I did the job and then I did some other jobs,” he told Vanity Fair for their Hollywood Issue cover story. “That’s it. That’s the story. I wish it was more glamorous than that.”

The British star went on to say, “We finished the story. The temptation would be to roll with the distractions and go, ‘Oh, well, the story went really well so we can kind of change this up and make some other stuff up, I guess.’ That was never what we’d signed up to do.”
