Matthew Trivia

Little Gems of Information About Matthew Macfadyen

• Matthew is allergic to cats (according to the audio commentary on Spooks series 2)
• He is a fantastic cook (this is from his wife....)
• The big walking out of the mist scene in Pride & Prejudice had Matthew following a red flag held by director Joe Wright and trying not to fall over as he has very bad eyesight!
• According to the Joe Wright audio commentary again, Matthew is afraid of horses and one of the scenes in Pride & Prejudice was shot with Matthew and Simon Woods on ladders not horses (mind you he has had to be on a few horses in his roles over the years...).
• Matthew was nearly banished from the set of Perfect Strangers for laughing so much!
• David Oyelowo showed a new use of the Spooks briefing table which Matthew started. Body surfing!
