The Untold Truth Of Matthew Macfadyen
Matthew Macfadyen's performance as cringeworthy punching bag Tom Wambsgans in "Succession" is so convincing that he's, as Thrillist put it, "ruined" the 2005 "Pride and Prejudice" remake in which he starred as romantic hero Mr. Darcy. Luckily, he's far more of a Mr. Nice Guy in real life. In fact, his HBO co-stars can't stop gushing about what an all-round good egg he is.
Sarah Snook, who plays Macfadyen's on-screen wife Shiv, told the Evening Standard in 2021 that although she was intimidated by his body of work at first, her mind was soon put at ease: "He was just so personable and lovely, such a British gentleman and so easy to get along with."
Like Snook, Nicholas Braun — aka the most bumbling member of the Roy clan, Cousin Greg — also revealed that Macfadyen has a great sense of humor, telling the same newspaper, "As an actor, he is always just solid. You can count on him. He doesn't judge his work, which I am not good at. He's a very sensitive, interested and supportive person. And he's funny as hell."
