Rege-Jean Page is considering growing his hair long like his 'Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' character

However, the one part of his costume he was glad to take off after a long day on set was his armour.

He told Best UK magazine: "Yeah, it's a fun look - the long wig, especially. I feel like I could rock that hair in real life. Maybe if we do another one of these, I'll grow it for real. And the armour was pretty heavy - it was hot under there and it took way too long to go to the bathroom."

The movie star - who has been tipped to play James Bond but has denied this to be the case - suggested he's not against the idea of reprising his 'Bridgerton' role.

Asked about fans being eager for him to return, he said: "I take that as a compliment but I don't know if that will happen. I feel like Simon and Daphne got their happily-ever-after. But I loved my time on Bridgerton.

I'm very grateful for the opportunities it opened up for me."

Rege-Jean also admitted he likes having a varied career.

He said: "I honestly like both. Villains are always fun - you tend to have more freedom with what you can do. But I love playing the hero, too. I'll take everything!"

It comes after a source said he wants to mirror the career of Robert Downey Jr.

Since leaving 'Bridgerton', he's gone on to forge a movie career with blockbusters 'The Gray Man', and most recently, 'Dungeons and Dragons'.

And an insider claimed the 'Mortal Engines' actor would like to have a "versatile" career like the 58-year-old Hollywood veteran - whose movie credits include 'Iron Man', 'Dolittle' and 'Richard III'.

A source told Us Weekly: "He's shaping his career along the likes of Robert Downey Jr., who is someone he admires. He wants to be known as a versatile actor and refuses to be pigeonholed in any one genre."
