What was Regé-Jean Page questioned about?

First of all, it was Regé’s first time on the show in person. Before this, he was interviewed by Jimmy Fallon online. Regé said, “It’s a huge relief to be here in person. Cause last time we did this I was in my living room and I got torrents of abuse from the public for my cushions.”

He quoted further, “Everyone was shocked that I was not actually British Royalty. And, it’s like, “No, this is what poor LA actors look like. We’re dirty, we’re broke. That couch has ramen on it. That’s how it works.”

He went there with the Dungeons and Dragons. That is “pretty much the heart of Comic-Con,” as Regé said. He premiered the trailer for Dungeons and Dragons there.
