Regé-Jean Page wants to set the record straight about his steamy scenes.
Recently the “Bridgerton” star, who portrays the Duke of Hastings in the hit Netflix series, appeared on “Access” and laughed off rumors about dating co-star Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Bridgerton).
“I think everything you need to know is on camera,” said the 31-year-old. “That’s why we presented it so beautifully for you.”
“All the sparks that flew came off of the beautiful scripts that we were handed, and so I think that the sparky words of the scripted material are more than enough.”

Dynevor told “Access” it was Rhimes’ Shondaland production that inspired her to take on the role.
“I knew that the women were gonna have real agency,” explained the 25-year-old. “They were not gonna be, you know, timid women… so that was the thing that really excited me.”
