While fans love his brooding performance, he wishes hed done one thing differently.
For a generation of viewers,Matthew Macfadyens Mr. Darcyis the definition of swoon.
Maybe its thetension-filled hand flex.
Or his sweet, Yes, I know!
when Lizzy says shes very fond of walking.
But playing him was another story, Macfadyen recently toldCBS Mornings.
I wish I was less worried about it.
Maybe I felt a bit miscast, or Im not dishy enough.
In fact, Macfadyen is still approached by fans for his performance in the beloved period piece.
The most flattering thing that happens to me now is people say, Were you Mr. Darcy?
And its a good 20 years later, he said.
So I think I cant be aging that badly.
Which I didnt like and I didnt understand, he added.
Macfadyen didnt feel very Mr. Darcy-ish, he told the magazine.
Its as if he needs to reset his body after such an electrically charged moment.
I remember him just going,Get that.
So they just did an extra shot on the hand, he recalled.
And thus, romance history was made.
