Queen Charlotte’s Corey Mylchreest Got Advice From Regé-Jean Page & Jonathan Bailey

Before his reign as the Bridgerton universe’s newest heartthrob, Queen Charlotte’s Corey Mylchreest consulted those who burned hot before him. The 25-year-old actor, who plays a young, newly crowned King George III in the Netflix prequel, got this advice from Regé-Jean Page (aka Season 1’s Simon Basset): “Anything that's outside out the stuff that will help you between action and cut doesn’t exist, and everything that will help you, it does,” Mylchreest shared in a recent Today interview. “Let that stuff in, but everything else, just let it slide off you.”

He also had a few conversations with Jonathan Bailey, who took center stage as Anthony Bridgerton in Season 2, but he joked that “it would take a long time to sum up” his advice. “They are both very lovely people. They are also incredibly beautiful. And I’m very aware that they are running different races to me,” the London native added.

A relative Hollywood newcomer, Mylchreest also reflected on his breakout Queen Charlotte role in Man About Town magazine’s Spring/Summer 2023 issue. “It’s such a joy to play someone, especially for your first big job, that has such a huge, magnificent spectrum of places that he inhabits almost daily,” he explained. “[George is] confident, charming and charismatic, way more than I would ever be able to be, but the reason for that is because of how vulnerable he is.”
