Regé-Jean Page is the gift that keeps on giving whether it be on the screen, singing or even reading a bed time story (I’m not kidding). Overnight he proved to be a champion for women — not that we ever doubted him — when he responded to controversy on Florence Pugh’s highly-publicized Valentino dress.

Via Instagram stories in a now-expired slide he reposted a photo of Pugh and captioned it: “What. Is. So. Terrifying?” The Bridgerton actor continued below the image, writing, “Take a look at yourself fellas. Then take a look at your mates and step up when it’s time to step up. When the boys are out of line, have a word.”

“The weird thing about misogyny is men actually listen to other men. So do your bit, cos the next few years in particular are gonna be a really good time to listen, and take some responsibility, for everyone’s sake,” he added, seemingly referring to the recent Roe v. Wade ruling.

For the uninitiated, Pugh was forced to address body shamming comments on social media for a sheer tulle dress she wore to Haute Couture Week in Rome. “It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers, what’s worrying is just how vulgar some of you men can be,” she wrote on Instagram.

The actress received a wave of support in the comment section. Pierpaolo Piccoli, the creative director behind Valentino, wrote, “Respect” with a red heart emoji. Self-confessed feminist Jameela Jamil commented, “You’re a magical fucking queen and we do not deserve you.” Fellow actress Gemma Chan added, “Love you.”
