Celebrities who have already read the bedtime story include Dolly Parton, Orlando Bloom and David Schwimmer.

In a very different TV appearance, Page leaned into his “extremely hot sex man” role on Saturday Night Live when he made his hosting debut on the show last month.

“You probably recognise me from Bridgerton, the show that made everyone turn to their mums and say, ‘You know what? Never mind, I don’t think we should watch this together,’” Page said in his opening monologue, referencing the series’ graphic sex scenes.
