Regé plays Simon Bassett in Bridgerton, the Duke of Hastings who is involved in a romantic storyline with Daphne Bridgerton.
Speaking to Heart.co.uk about his relationship with Daphne, Regé said: "I like that there’s a complication to the romance between these two characters.
"I think that they’re both very intelligent, very precocious characters that are used to being the smartest people in the room, and the moment they meet someone else who can stand up to them, and kind of match wits, I think it’s very exciting for them.
"And then figuring out how they can help each other grow into each other is very exciting, often difficult, but I think sometimes you’ve got to fight for this love. It’s just one of them."
