&#8216;The Gray Man&#8217; Star Rege-Jean Page Says He &#8220;basically grew up as Eddie Munson” at the San Diego Comic-Con

When Rege-jean Page swept Daphne and the viewers off their feet in Bridgerton,
none of us had any inkling that this sexy, suave man would have been an outcast
story in high school. And yet, it’s true. The Gray Man star revealed his
struggling teenage years at the San Diego Comic-Con much to the surprise of the
fans. Additionally, he pointed out that he was just like Eddie Munson! Way to
score points with the Stranger Things fans’ too, Page! 


REGE-JEAN PAGE SHARES MORE SIMILARITIES WITH EDDIE MUNSON THAN MUNSON DOES WITH
JOSEPH QUINN 

The actor was a part of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves panel at the
San Diego comic con. There he revealed his tortured high school years when felt
like a complete outcast. To help fans get a clearer picture of his past, he
said, “I basically grew up as Eddie Munson.”

“”I was picked on at school for being weird and foreign then I went home and
made angry guitar music, played Chrono Trigger and Diablo, you know what I
mean?” he continued.

In Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things], everyone
shunned Eddie [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/eddie-munson] at school and always
misunderstood him. He was weird, had lots of tattoos, was a metalhead, and
played D&D. Unable to fit in, Eddie would channel his frustration in his song
and find an escape from his mean reality in escapist fantasy games. It turns out
that Page was no different.

“I know a little something about escapist fantasy that gives you no limits, that
gives you this big open world of possibility that may not necessarily always be
open in your real life. I’ve’ always found roleplaying games super inspiring in
that way,” he added. 


WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE STAR?
