TV & Movies
Because they have way more in common than you think.
At first glance, Matthew Macfadyens most iconic roles are two very different men.Tom Wambsgansis a long way fromMr.
Darcy,the actor himself toldNPRlast year.
For starters, theyre both obsessed with status.
Heres a look back at all the times Tom fromSuccessionwas way more like Mr. Darcy than expected.
Toms First Impression
Tom and Darcy make a biting first impression.
But the thing about me is that Im a terrible, terrible prick.
Toms Early-Morning Jaunt
Tom and Darcy are also aesthetic twins.
Id Castrate You & Marry You In A Heartbeat.
Remember when Tom was super worried about going to prison?
When Tom Kissed Greg On The Forehead
A tender, Austenian moment if there ever was one.
That Memory With Shiv
Greg isnt the only one to benefit from Toms Darcy-esque gestures.
In fact, a recent scene with Shiv is maybe one of Toms most swoon-worthy moments yet.
Id sent you all those handwritten notes, he recalls.
And then the first time, you were wearing that very fine silk shirt.
And I put my arm around you.
And I kept asking, Do you like this?
Do you like this?
And you said, eventually, I like it all.
Toms Squabble Era
OK, not every moment can be that touching.
But, like Darcy, Toms squabbling is pretty romantically charged.
Your earlobes are thick and chewy, he says.
Yeah, like barnacle meat.
Plus, Toms reaction to Shiv saying she prefers Lukas Matssons broad body?
Its very much Darcy getting jealous of Wickham inPride & Prejudice.
I think I want you.
Even the placement of Toms head on Shivs is straight out of the 2005 film.
You cant get more Darcy than that.
