Pride & Prejudice (2005) Official Trailer
Anti-Israel protesters claim they unleashed maggots, crickets at Israeli delegation's hotel ahead of Netanyahu speech Matthew Macfadyen was most known for his role as Mr. Darcy in the 2005 adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” opposite Keira Knightley.
Despite fans swooning over his portrayal of the brooding love interest of Elizabeth Bennet, Macfadyen, 49, revealed he “didn’t really” enjoy playing the part in the adaptation to“I feel bad saying that,” he admitted. “There were moments I had a good time, but I wish I’d enjoyed it more. I wish I was less worried about it.”“I just felt a bit miscast. I’m not dishy enough, or I’m not, you know,” he continued. “But it worked out.
Despite his reservations about the role, the actor said, “The most flattering thing that happens to me now is people say, ‘Were you Mr. Darcy?’ It’s a good 20 years later. So I think, ‘I can’t be aging that badly.’”“I think Matthew is obviously less of a star than Keira, and so if she hadn’t been playing Elizabeth, I’m not sure I’d been allowed to cast Matthew ,” Wright, 51, stated. “So, it kind of worked like that. You try to balance it out as much as you can.
“He’s the least vain actor you’ve ever met in your life and he wasn’t coming onto this trying to portray an icon, he was coming on to play a character in the same way he would, had he been approaching Hamlet or any other great role,” the director detailed.“Pride and Prejudice was so amazing because I’d been obsessed with it since I was about eight,” she said at the time. “I think that was really fun because it was this group of girls that were all together and that was amazing.
