'Bridgerton 3': Regé-Jean, Jonathan had these tips for Luke Newton
What's the story
Luke Newton, known for his role as Colin Bridgerton in Netflix's popular series Bridgerton, has sought advice from former male leads before stepping into the limelight in the upcoming third season. The new season will focus on Newton's character's romantic involvement with Penelope Featherington, played by Nicola Coughlan. So, Newton had turned to Regé-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey for guidance, revealing that Page advised him to take a "big holiday before all the madness starts."
Mentorship impact
Newton shared profound influence of Page on his journey
Newton, in a conversation with InStyle, shared the profound impact Page had on him. He fondly remembered how Page embraced him and asked, "Are you ready for this, bro?" To recall, Page played Simon, the Duke of Hastings in the debut season of Bridgerton, but did not return after the first season. Newton's interaction with Page provided him with valuable insights as he prepared to take center stage in Season 3.
Constant support
Bailey: A steady pillar of support for Newton
Bailey, who remained a constant presence in Bridgerton and led the second season, has been a steadfast source of support for Newton. Describing how Bailey has been "there kind of the whole way for me," Newton shared that they "talk all the time." He found it inspiring to observe how Bailey conducted himself on set during Season 2, knowing that he would be next in line for the lead role.
