Keira Knightley's Pride & Prejudice connection with a few Matthews, a Rupert Friend, a Tom Mison, and a Colin Firth!
A few handsome Darcys, a couple Wickhams, and a Bingley, please?!
How lucky is Miss Keira Knightley to have worked with these handsome P&P/Austen actors (including a few Matthews: Macfadyen, Rhys, and Goode)? Then, she was (and still is to this day) the only Elizabeth Bennet actress to be the youngest and exact same age (20) as her EB book counterpart when her Pride & Prejudice movie was released almost 10 years ago (in 2005). Now, she's also, the only Elizabeth Bennet to have worked with (most of them more than once) a few Darcy actors (her P&P movie and Anna Karenina co-star Matthew Macfadyen, Colin Firth of Pride and Prejudice 1995 and her Love Actually/Steve co-star, and her The Edge of Love co-star Matthew Rhys of Death Comes To Pemberley), a couple Wickhams (her ex-boyfriend and former P&P movie/The Suicide Brothers co-star Rupert Friend and her The Imitation Game co-star Matthew Goode of Death Comes To Pemberley), and a Bingley (her The Suicide Brothers/Steve short films co-star Tom Mison of Lost In Austen).
