Matthew Macfadyen rose to fame in the United States back in 2005 with his portrayal of Mr. Darcy in the film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. One particular scene from the movie, where he performs the now-iconic hand flex, continues to be a topic of conversation even today.
In a recent interview on CBS Mornings, Macfadyen made a surprising revelation about his experience playing the beloved character. Despite the enduring popularity of his portrayal, he confessed that he did not particularly enjoy the role. He expressed, '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.'
