Rege-Jean Page has a nice interview in the current issue of Elle Magazine. He’s promoting The Gray Man (directed by the Russos) and his new endorsement deal as the face of Armani Code (the cologne). Usually, when actors are tasked with promoting their cologne endorsements, we get some bonkers interviews about how they don’t bathe and they think their asses are self-cleaning. Thankfully, Rege-Jean is not like that. He side-steps the interview traps and talks about how he’s all about sleep, hydration and good vibes. Some highlights:

Describing Armani Code: “I would describe it as multifaceted. I think one of the things that excites me about it most is that there is a very intense initial presence, kind of traditional strong notes like the bergamot and then beneath that, in concert with it, you have softer, more floral notes like the Iris that allow you to have a lot of different angles to experience the fragrance from. So as different as you are yesterday to today, to tomorrow, there are different assets, facets of this fragrance that you can discover from day to day with yourself, with your different moods, with the different versions of yourself, you know?

His self-care routine: “It’s very simple. Sleep, water, good vibes. That’s it. Those are the most… Sleep, water, good vibes, moisturize. There you go, I’ll give you that much.

Does he use SPF? “SPF somewhere in the mix. I’m not very disciplined with that, but I’m gonna have to be.

Minimalist self-care: “No but genuinely, I’m something of a minimalist with this. I think: keep things simple, but do them well. And sleep is one of the most underrated things in the world. If you’re well hydrated and you’re well rested, then the good vibes kind of take care of themselves. If you feel good, you will look good. That’s both kind of weirdly holistic, but also biologically sound, like when you feel good, when you are rested, your body can take care of itself. You know?

He can’t talk about The Gray Man: “Kind of, maybe, not really? I can put out that this guy is the head of the CIA clandestine services. So there’s a lot of sophistication, a lot of power to this character. There’s a lot of shadow and contrast to this character, it’s something that I don’t think people have seen a lot of from me specifically before, which was great fun for me to play with. But beyond that, not a huge amount. These people live in the shadows, you kind of gotta discover them in the movie.

Men really have it so easy. I mean, he’s not wrong – quality sleep and hydration go a long way towards making you feel and look good. But if a woman said “I look this way because I sleep a lot and drink a lot of water,” we would roll our eyes. Rege-Jean looks like the kind of guy who tries different products and probably has a few shelves full of skincare, lotions, colognes, etc. And there’s nothing wrong with that! He looks like a guy who takes good care of himself in every way, more than just sleeping and hydrating.
