The actor, who also starred in legal drama For The People, said he was interested in exploring the particular breed of masculinity of such a character.
He said: “He can do better than your least objectionable option I suppose but that’s kind of the journey we take him on through the series. I was very interested in kind of examining what makes this tall, dark and broken archetype attractive to begin with, what is attractive about our Darcys and our Heathcliffs and how can we bring a 21st century conversation into that.”
Page also spoke about his recent role as Prince Charming in BBC Two’s Cinderella: A Comic Relief Pantomime For Christmas, which also starred Olivia Colman, Helena Bonham Carter and James Bond star Daniel Craig.

You guys set out a mean tea spread! (Although your take on fish and chips is a little odd…) And since I’m assuming that I would only meet you if you were sheltering me, a Daughter of Eve, from the White Queen, it’s fair to say that I’m a fan of yours.
But. None of that will matter in the moment when I have to stand face-to-face with a toddler-sized mammal with teeth the size of my fist. I love you Beavers, honestly, but I don’t think I can watch you eat a scone.
