Matthew Macfadyen as Mr Darcy in Pride & Prejudice
Summary Pride & Prejudice star Matthew Macfadyen reflects on his role in the film two decades later. Macfadyen played the male lead, Mr. Darcy, in the 2005 Jane Austen adaptation. Mr. Darcy is one of the most iconic love interests in literature, pulling at the heart strings of those who root for his romance with the lower-class woman, Elizabeth Bennett. Playing the role of Elizabeth was Keira Knightley, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Pride & Prejudice.
I feel bad saying that. 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. But it worked out. probably the most flattering thing that happens to me. It’s a good 20 years later, so I think I can’t be aging that badly.
After Pride & Prejudice, Macfadyen went on to star in a number of other notable films, including Frost/Nixon and Robin Hood. His most notable role came in 2018, when the actor made his debut as Tom Wambsgans in the hit HBO show Succession. Playing Tom was pivotal in Macfadyen's more recent career, earning him Emmy wins in 2022 and 2023 for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He also won two BAFTAs for his work in Succession.
