The Bear star Ayo Edebiri had the most hilarious interaction with Matthew Macfadyen backstage at the 2024 Emmys when she revealed to the Succession star that she was grounded as a child for having a screensaver of him as Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice on her computer.
Edebiri spilled:
"Yeah, so I got grounded, because my dad was like, 'Who's this man?!'"
'"Who's this guy in the coat? With the beautiful hair?'"
Macfadyen later shared their conversation with Entertainment Tonight, explaining:
"She [told me she] was grounded, because she had a screensaver of me as Mr. Darcy on her laptop."
He added:
"Good parenting."
"I haven't heard that [before]."

The Pride & Prejudice film in which Macfadyen starred was released in 2005, when Edebiri was just a wee 8-year-old.
Needless to say, viewers of this clip were in hysterics over the Big Mouth star's confession.
