'Pride and Prejudice' star Matthew Macfadyen reveals the story behind the famous hand flex.

In a recent interview on NPR's Fresh Air, Matthew Macfadyen spoke briefly about his iconic performance as Mr. Darcy in the 2005 adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. Mr. Darcy is one of the most notable romantic figures in modern media and throughout the past 200 years since Jane Austen first brought him to life. The character has been played by numerable talented actors throughout history, including Colin Firth in 1995, and Sir Laurence Olivier in 1940.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Macfadyen spoke about how Darcy keeps all of his emotions so close to his chest: "He's so buttoned up, he can't show a thing." Davies shares some laughs about how beloved this moment is among Pride & Prejudice fans, going on to say he's even seen someone get Macfadyen and Knightley's hands tattooed on their body. Davies goes on to ask Macfadyen if that moment was planned all along, and he finally reveals that it wasn't.

Macfadyen also shared his feelings about taking the role in the first place, sharing his concerns saying, "I think inevitably you worry about getting it right...It was a lovely thing to be a part of."
