With his brown regal charm and Princely outfits,  Regé-Jean Page, became the very epitome of the word 'chocolate' when he starred in a not unbeknownst to the masses Netflix regal series. However, it seems that the role did not only cook up for him a highly rated addition to his filmography and a massive fanbase but also, as per speculation, a Martini shaken not stirred. While Amazon continues to tantalize without an official confirmation, Regé-Jean Page may have just taken matters into his own hands to drop a hint.

Currently working with his talk of the town girlfriend, Emily Brown, Regé-Jean Page's next project as a producer has once again brought the James Bond debate to a full swing.

Regé-Jean Page and his producing partner Emily Brown are adapting Elissa Sussman’s acclaimed novel Funny You Should Ask into a television series for Apple. The series adaptation of the book centers on a restless young journalist who interviews a Hollywood heartthrob, only to reunite with him a decade later to uncover his true feelings. Adding a James Bond level plot twist, the Hollywood heartthrob becomes the next James Bond. The symbolism of an actor who in real life is already riding the high waves to play the next 007, to be producing and starring in a role where the actor becomes the next James Bond, is laying it on pretty thick.

The novel's unique structure, alternating between their first meeting and their reunion, offers a rich storyline. It explores themes of fame, perception, and lasting impressions, ensuring a layered and engaging viewing experience. Regé-Jean Page, as executive producer, will undoubtedly shape this adaptation to capture the essence of the bestselling book, but also make it much more.
