What did Colin Firth think of Matthew Macfadyen's performance in the 2005 version of 'Pride and Prejudice?' “I had to write a fan letter,” Firth tells JoyPress. “Definitely my favourite Darcy.”
In real life, Macfadyen has none of that Wambsgansian volatility or douchiness. He is entirely chill and smiley when I meet him in Birmingham, best known on television as the setting forThe hotel bar feels like the library of a British country house merged with a moody French bistro—all dark wood paneling, red velvet, and marble columns. I find Macfadyen in a corner, clad in a dark blue sweatshirt and jeans, hair askew as if he’d recently woken up.
Not that Macfadyen lazed around. At 20, he went straight from RADA to the prestigious Cheek by Jowl theater troupe, starring in the company’s traveling production of the Jacobean tragedyHe expected to carry on in the theater, but then Marcia Gresham cast him in the 1999 BBC dramaabout U.N. peacekeepers in Bosnia.
Macfadyen recalls showing up late in an unironed shirt to an event for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association—the controversial group that runs the Golden Globes—where an old gentleman told him, “You won’t be nominated. Keira will be nominated.” He winces slightly as he continues, “I had a little baby, and I just wanted to be at home. I wish I’d had someone to [tell me]: This is how this works. This is the game.
Macfadyen brings up the “homoerotic overtones” in Tom’s reference to Nero and Sporus, which adds fuel to audience fantasies of a Tom-Greg romance. “That’s great fun to play,” he says. “But again, that’s projection. If I look at Greg, I’m justat him. I mean, all I’m doing is just gazing at him.” You’re gazing at Greg the same way that Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy gazed at Miss Elizabeth Bennet, I point out.
Macfadyen does have a very British approach to acting that doesn’t require him to marinate in his own wellsprings of emotion and experience. When I bring up’s Jeremy Strong profile, which portrayed the actor as someone who stays inside the bubble of his suffering character while others decompress between takes, it’s the one time in our nearly three-hour conversation that Macfadyen gets visibly irritated.
