Keira Knightley: [Matthew MacFadyen] is just such a nice man. I think that helps [when someone is your love interest]. I think that helps when you meet somebody [who will potentially be your cast mate] and you think, "Well, you're just lovely." And is also such an amazing actor. So, what fun. Rosamund Pike: And when he can completely mask the niceness and put it under the arrogance and standoffish-ness that Darcy appears to have. And then [you] melt. Oh, so good. Pride & Prejudice (2005) Dir. Joe Wright Matthew Macfadyen for CBS Mornings (2024) Keira Knightley and Rosamund Pike for Vanity Fair (2025)
