My friend and fellow
P&P 05 fan,
Sharon Lathan (author of
The Darcy Saga novels) brought to my attention (via her
facebook) our favorite
Matthew Macfadyen aka
Pride & Prejudice (2005) film's very own
Mr. Darcy, reading the original
first proposal passage of
Jane Austen's
classic novel
Pride and Prejudice! on a
podcast from
The Carte Noire Readers.
Thanks Sharon! MM sounds AWESOME! I love the sound of his voice. His voice is so sexy and soothing to listen to...I was
"bewitched body and soul" listening to him, lol. To quote Lizzy's aunt
Mrs. Gardiner from P&P,
"There's something pleasant about his mouth when he speaks." He should've read the entire book and I wouldn't mind just
melting to the lovely sound of his voice listening to his
darcylicious voice all day and night, 24/7... :)
Here's
the link to where you can listen to Matthew reading P&P novel. You can also
download the
podcast episode (for
free) as well on
iTunes (if you have one...if not, be sure to download
iTunes to download and listen to
MM!) I love it when
Matthew asked: "Are you sitting comfortably? Then, I'll begin..." I have and I am now indulged in this very moment, sitting comfortably and listening to him on my
podcast player on iTunes iPod (on repeat too, hehe!) as well as reading along the first proposal excerpt from the P&P novel. :)

Check out and listen to a
new interview of Matthew from The Carte Noire Readers on Classic FM:
Fresh from
Cannes Film Festival,
Matthew was
interviewed about his reading the
excerpt of P&P, why
he read that particular scene (The
First Proposal scene), if he has read the
P&P novel prior to filming the
P&P movie, his
Sheriff of Notthingham role in
Robin Hood movie, and his children, etc.
