Sterling K. Brown Reveals Wife's Crush on 'Mr. Darcy' Matthew Macfadyen (Exclusive)

“American Fiction” star Sterling K. Brown was feeling “blessed and highly favored” at the 2024 SAG Awards!

“Extra’s” Melvin Robert spoke with Sterling, who reacted to receiving his first-ever Oscar nomination, calling it “nutty.”

Brown commented, “I did not anticipate it in the least. There was such an incredible group of men in my supporting category and incredible performances that didn’t make it so the fact that I’m here… I feel blessed and highly favored.”

As for who he’s excited to see, Sterling shared, “I know most of the ‘Succession’ people, but my wife hasn’t met Mr. Darcy [Matthew Macfadyen]… She watches ‘Pride and Prejudice’ like at least once a year, and as he's walking up with this little coat flying through the thing, you see her like crying. So, I’m gonna introduce her to him. That’ll be a nice moment.”

Brown was referencing “Succession” star Matthew Macfadyen, who played Mr. Darcy in the 2005 film adaptation of the book.

He also joked about recovering after this “Hot Ones” episode, saying, “I’m hydrated… I’ve since had some sort of dairy product that like ease everything… the recovery was not terrible.”
