Chatting on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he said: "I think the internet thinks a lot of things, that's one of the more pleasant ones, so I'm pleased as far as that goes. But I think, there might be an element of cultural translation here."

He continued: "If you're a Brit and you do something of any kind of renown, that people regard well, then people start saying the 'B' word. It's like a merit badge. You get a 'B' word merit badge."

Regé-Jean then admitted he was delighted to be considered in the reports: "I'm glad to have the badge, I'm glad to be in such wonderful company of people who have the badge, but it's a badge."
