All of rege’s old interviews are suddenly being recommended to me🗿😭

[@may_yositah5240]

Couldn’t agree more ! 💗

[@bluv1602]

Watching him here and how he presents himself not so grand and now years later after Bridgerton he commands his presence no man what interview he is in. Greg work in all that he does!

[@bluv1602]

Not Greg but Great

[@Beomgyushousew1fe]

@@bluv1602 absolutely agree

Malachi Kirby put on an excellent performance, like seriously. He moved me to tears several times throughout the series. I hope to see him do big drama roles in the future. Rege was really good too, and he showed a lot of range. This was a brilliant remake.

[@tatianarice-mckenzie6797]

Rege was the best !

[@Empressive]

I thought they equally did great. I really hope they get more major roles.

[@thewokesquad6925]

Malachi was the breakout star for me in this film. He has such a huge burden on his shoulders, being a relatively unknown actor in the states, and taking on such an iconic role. He really delivered. This takes nothing away from Rege, because he too was amazing and captivating, but I found myself actually missing Kunta when he was no longer on screen to the point where I was excited to see him again as his spirit guiding Tom to George in part 4.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I loved both, they both brought something different. For me, Rege stole the show though. His performance stayed with me for weeks, but Malachi has a quiet soulfulness and strength I appreciate.

[@gkawrbool]

+The Woke Squad asf i was like tf is kunte at i was hoping george met him and taught him how to fight

[@ChristiLuv]

I love Malachi's spirituality & "Know that our history does not begin at slavery. Be proud of your ancestory. Don't think that it's a negative thing to be African. It's a beautiful thing. A positive thing. Those people who were enslaved were not weak. So it's nothing to be ashamed of. Those were strong people. If they weren't they wouldn't have been slaves. They woulda just been killed. They were taken because they were so strong. And they survived." --Malachi Kirby "Preach!" --Rege-Jean Kirby Erica looks so pretty! :) All of them were excellent and I thought Malachi did a spectacular job as Kunta Kinte and I'd like to see them all get more QUALITY work. I want to see Rege in more romantic/leading roles! ;)

[@lunenoire7238]

totally agree with you

[@lyttle1832]

As an African born and bred Malachis splew brings me to tears. Such respect my goodness. And Rege touching on it truly as an African that’s how we feel and for Malachi to mention and speak of our being my goodness that is such a respectful and heartfelt wisdom so thank you. Born in a country which was one of the biggest slave trade ports oh we do have a history, slavery is not our history we had and have history before that ... oh! Haven’t seen the remake but I remember the first make being played on tv as a child and it really terrified me my goodness ... thank you

[@floBar51651]

Rege-Jean Kirby?

[@karenrenford]

Regarding Rege in more romantic roles...welp! You definitely got that with Bridgerton!

[@meandemjay]

Malachi Kirby.....you are a BEAUTIFUL creation, inside and out....outstanding job!

[@beyonceschild]

Malachi Kirby is so handsome I can't take my eyes off of him

[@tatianarice-mckenzie6797]

I like Rege. Did u see how he was looking at Erica?

[@beautybyatrain9126]

So much elegance and intelligence in each of them. I love it

[@XiggyJ]

I didn't know Rege-Jean had an accent. How the hell are you able to fake a southern slave accent? Brilliant.

[@genevievemorgan7821]

He doesn't have an accent, he was was educated in the UK and has a British father

[@karenrenford]

@@genevievemorgan7821 wow...what a silly response. Everyone has an accent. Your response shoulda been "yes he did an amazing job portraying a southern american accent as an african- british actor. He carries both accents as a result but his british born accent is more dominant.

[@genevievemorgan7821]

@@karenrenfordno it's not a silly response. I was pointing out that the comment arose from a profound and sadly, unabashed ignorant perspective that considers the American accent to be the default and the rest of the world somehow have the accent. The English accent came first.

[@jl4073]

@@karenrenford thank you Karen - great response!!! Of course he has a British accent!! ✔️😊

[@abradley8008]

Malachi words really moved me ( almost cried) he's deep!

[@olarinoyedorcasoluwanifemi8790]

Bruh if somebody was looking at me like that for more than 30 seconds. I swear, I will put my fingers in your eye.

[@kmags8065]

With the way he looks I would be blushing like crazy 😝

[@elrod2747]

Thanks to these wonderful actors for bringing us Roots. Their acting brought the suffering so vivid and alive. Painful to watch.

[@Rosannasfriend]

There should have been loud applause for both Malachi and rege . Rege didn't get any at all when Sunny said his name .

[@lornalaura9345]

But now he’s blown up because of Bridgerton ❤️

[@Alagiebabylon]

Malachi, love your personality handsome and clever

[@BlackBusyBody]

I think Rege loves Erica...look how he looks at her! He thinks she's just so beautiful

[@tatianarice-mckenzie6797]

:o thats what i was thinking... I hope Its not just an act

[@BlackBusyBody]

+Tatiana Rice-mckenzie he's said on numerous occasions how he feels about her

[@tatianarice-mckenzie6797]

Enormous occasions? Can you share me the link?

[@tatianarice-mckenzie6797]

Wait a minute i read that wrong? What did u say about HER? I only saw this video and the video when he said he starstruck by HER and thats ALL. What info do u have?

[@lmc1839]

I think you're right. The way he cant't take his eyes off her is beautiful. I've only seen one other man look at his wife like that recently Russell Wilson looks at Ciara the same loving way. That's magical and I love it.

[@abbyboyd1931]

Rege’ is undisputedly one of the most BRILLIANT ACTORS of his generation. Without a doubt…it’s unfortunate yet a tremendous blessing that Bridgerton/Shondaland gave him the ATTENTION that was somehow buried most likely in his roles as American and his American accent. I have watched everything that he starred in. And he has been A-Mazing. God bless Rege’. The rest of the cast were brilliant and we know them. And now we KNOW Rege’! Thank you Shonda❣️

[@akale63]

The director expressed himself really well. I never saw the original with the exception of clips but I really like the remake and prefer the casting(Tge makeup department needed some help though lol) This was a needed remake to me.

The way rege was starring at Erica, when the interviewer asked her question. that was hella awkward

[@rhondaherbert9282]

Maybe he was figuring out how to be a woman...one day he will come outta the closet...sorry but he gives gay vibes

did the person recording this give a big yawn???

[@tatianarice-mckenzie6797]

I cant tell if rege likes erica or if this his one big act to get people to think he likes HER so They are more into the show :/

[@afrogalp2102]

I think it’s a look of admiration and respect actually. She looks like she carries herself with a lot poise and elegance which in turn probably forces him to just be in awe of her and how she carries herself. She looks like she plays zero games lol 😂 sorry to bore with my long comment

[@karenrenford]

@@afrogalp2102 your comment is the only one that makes sense with all these interpretations of him looking at her. I think he admires her and her work.

[@zhannageskin3304]

Page was amazing then why people did not see him like after Bridgerton???
