July 24, 2024 Matthew Macfadyen reveals that he felt he was miscast as Mr. Darcy in 2005's "Pride & Prejudice"
"I didn't really [enjoy it], I feel bad saying that. There were moments I had a good time, but I wish I enjoyed it more. I wish I was less worried about it."
"I felt a bit miscast, like, 'I'm not dishy enough. But it worked out. Probably 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.'" "
