An Audi – and it’s not even a Q007! If Bridgerton’s dashing duke Rege-Jean Page is the next James Bond, where’s his Aston Martin?
Even the most casual film fan knows that James Bond prefers one particular brand of car above all others: an Aston Martin brimming with gadgets.
So the decision by Rege-Jean Page, widely tipped to replace Daniel Craig as 007, to star in an advert for the rival Audi marque might cause a bit of a stir in Q Branch.
Dressed in matching navy-blue trousers and jacket, the actor, who shot to prominence last year as the Duke of Hastings in the Netflix period drama Bridgerton, was pictured next to one of the company’s £40,000-plus Q4 e-tron cars.

He was accompanied on the shoot in Docklands, East London, by his real-life duchess, Emily Brown, 30, with whom he shares an £800,000 flat in the capital

The Audi deal is thought to be the 31-year-old’s first endorsement project since he was catapulted to fame, thanks largely to a series of steamy love scenes with his Bridgerton co-star Phoebe Dynevor.
As the face of Audi’s fully electric new model, the actor has already featured in an achingly woke promotional film entitled A Story Of Progress.

During the two-and-a-half-minute clip, he doesn’t mention the name ‘Audi’ but instead appeals to viewers to improve themselves.
‘There is an element of the work I do that feels like a constant love letter to the people that I see in the world,’ he says in sentiments rather unlikely to be uttered by James Bond.
‘That’s the thing that inspires me most – it’s finding people who have a story to be told. And thinking how can I contribute to that?’
