Shonda Rhimes Praises Reg��-Jean Page's Decision To Exit 'Bridgerton': 'He's An Enormous Star Now'

Shonda Rhimes is addressing Reg��-Jean Page's exit from "Bridgerton." She spoke with Variety about how the actor won't be returning to play the Duke of Hastings in the upcoming season of the hit Netflix show, and why she thinks it's the right move. "He's an enormous star now. As I like to say, the idea that we would write Reg�� to stand around in the background doesn't make any sense at all to me. 'What would he do?' is what I like to say," she shared.
