people - Matthew Macfadyen: Felt miscast as Mr. Darcy

Actor Matthew Macfadyen (49) reportedly felt uncomfortable in his role as Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice." "I felt a little out of place," the British actor told "CBS Mornings." In the 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, Macfadyen played a leading role alongside Keira Knightley. He had thought he wasn't attractive enough for the role as Mr. Darcy at the time, Macfadyen admitted now.

Sometimes he could enjoy filming, the actor explained. "But I wish I had enjoyed it more. I wish I had worried less." He still feels flattered, however, when people mention the film to him today, he said.

The British actor was awarded an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his role in the drama series "Succession." Marvel fans can currently see Macfadyen in the new anti-hero film "Deadpool & Wolverine" in cinemas, starring alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

People in the United States of America and the United Kingdom continue to admire Matthew Macfadyen's portrayal of Mr. Darcy in the 2005 movie adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," particularly alongside Keira Knightley. Despite feeling uncomfortable during filming, Macfadyen has since earned recognition in the Media industry, winning both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his role in CBS's "Succession." Currently, he is featured in the movie "Deadpool & Wolverine," showcasing his talent on the Television screens of Los Angeles and beyond.
