What happened to this guy’s career?
I forgot his name. Had to look up him up from Bridgerton cast, season 1.
shareIt's hilarious. That Bridgerton TV show suddenly became "it show of the month". And he was trending because he was pretty bi-racial man. And he was playing some entitled hot bad boy. So suddenly he became famous and heartthrob. And all that fame got into his head and this tv boy decided that he is now big star and that he outgrew tv and now must transition to movies and became movie star. Because "everyone are lusting after him".
So he quit his successful show despite pleas to stay. And got himself ready to be cast as lead in big movies.
And then..... nothing happened. Hype after him died very fast. Because those women were lasting after his CHARACTER in Bridgerton. Character was hot, not him. And men never cared since they dont watch Bridgerton . After he quit show - everyone lost interest in him.
He was managed to got supporting role The Gray Man and Dungeons & Dragon on the height of hype around him. And then The Gray Man was hated by everyone and it's a tv movie. It was forgotten next week. And Dungeons & Dragon flopped with 93 millions on 150 million budget. And he was not lead in those and no one noticed him.
This guy is the case example of: "Don't bite the hand that feeds you". Bridgerton is still on and popular. And if he would stay - he would still get hype every year when it comes out and be relevant. And could get more roles. But he thought he overgrew it and is mega star. And he wasn't. And it was very obvious back then. I knew he would disappear fast.
He did a classic David Caruso move.
shareThis is a pretty good analysis if you think about it, because Jonathan Bailey is also on Bridgerton but he stayed and used the hype from that streaming series and now he is appearing in more and more things. He had lonely travelers, and Wicked is also coming.
shareIt's interesting that none of the Bridgerton actors actually became stars. It's been 4 years since it came.
I looked up that girl who was lead in season one next to this Rege Jan guy. And her face is all over trailer. Phoebe Dynevor. Nothing interesting she did after Bridgerton.
Then it was another lady all over trailer and promotion in season 2. Simone Ashley. And nothing again.
Shows that people like Bridgerton tv show and that whole aura. And don't care about actors. They change main actors every season and no one misses them.
