00:00You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you.
00:06Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice may have been universally loved,
00:09but one person who has a bone to pick with the role is Mr. Darcy himself, Matthew McFadden.
00:14The Emmy-winning actor looked back at the 2005 film he starred in opposite Keira Knightley
00:19during an interview with CBS Mornings and admitted that he didn't really enjoy his role.
00:24I feel bad saying that, but I did, I, I, there were moments I had a good time,
00:28but I wish I'd enjoyed it more, I wish I was less worried about it.
00:31McFadden added that he didn't feel like he was the right choice for the role of Mr. Darcy.
00:35I just felt, maybe I felt a bit miscast, or I'm not dishy enough, or I'm not, you know, but it worked out.
00:41And it sure did, as the movie went on to score four Oscar nominations and a strong fan base over the years.
00:47The British actor also confessed that he still gets excited when he's recognized as Mr. Darcy in public.
00:53Probably the most flattering thing that happens to me now is people say,
00:55were you Mr. Darcy? And it's a good, good 20 years later. So I think I can't be aging that badly.
01:02The film, based on Jane Austen's novel of the same name, centers on the developing relationship
01:06between Elizabeth Bennet, played by Knightley, the daughter of a country gentleman,
01:10and Mr. Darcy, a wealthy English aristocrat.
01:13Forgive me. Madam, for taking up so much of your time.
