    GQ Awards 2021: Rege-Jean Page and Adrian Dunbar lead the winners at the Men Of The Year ceremony – as the Ted Hastings actor dedicates gong to his mother, 98, who beat Covid last week


    Bridgerston actor Rege-Jean Page and Line Of Duty star Adrian Dunbar led the winners at the 2021 GQ Men Of The Year Awards at the Tate Modern on Wednesday.

    The breakthrough star, 31, looked dapper in a three-piece green suit as he received his gong, after receiving acclaim from viewers and critics for his role as the Duke Of Hastings in the alternative period drama. 

    Meanwhile, Ted Hastings actor Adrian, 63, was awarded the TV Performance Of The Year, after capturing the nation during the sixth series of the BBC police drama earlier this year.

    Speaking after his win, Rege-Jean said he loved being able to portray a person of high status as a Black man.

    Speaking to GQ magazine about his role in the drama, he said: ‘I think it becomes very obvious who was excluded from the game previously. It just became vaguely ludicrous that it was such an issue before. You know, ‘How will this work?’ Um, we’ll do the acting!’

    And of his scenes on horseback, he added: ‘Being on a horse is literally lifting people into a position of aspiration, power, possibility and agency that they’ve not been afforded before. That’s what’s ridiculous.

    That we are not crea­tive enough in the creative industries – that’s the failure. But the second you start doing that? It’s like, ‘This is so easy!’ Yes, it is, so keep doing that.’

    Rege-Jean will not be returning to ‘Bridgerton’ for season two, but has denied rumours he was booted from the production.

    He insisted: ‘No, I respectfully exited. I didn’t want to put them in an awkward situation where they had to kick me out.’

    Meanwhile, as he thanked his co-stars and friends Martin Compston [Steve Arnott] and Vicky McClure [Kate Flemming] during his speech, Adrian also gave a special mention to his 89-year-old mother.

    Adrian revealed he wanted to dedicate the award to his mum Pauline, following her recovery from coronavirus last week after she contracted the potentially deadly virus.

    Elsewhere, Ed Sheeran was named Solo Artist of the Year, while Sir Anthony Hopkins took home the Legend award and Sacha Baron Cohen won the Icon gong.

    There were also awards for the team behind the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, as well as all the Olympic and Paralympic athletes of Great Britain.
