He would be the best choice for Darcy next to Colin Firth, he's perfect for it

Do you have the whole interview. I'd love to see the rest. Might also go back and watch N&S again. Such a great movie.

He is my Darcy, and Daniela is my Elizabeth!

Eu sou do Brasil,por incrível que pareça eu conheci Richard Armitage vendo North and Soul no fim de 2019 e adorei a série, ele fez um magnífico MT Thornton e a Daniela perfeita como Miss Hale. Um lindo casal. Depois dessa série que fui pesquisar sobre seus trabalhos. E já tinha assistido Hobitt, mas não tinha prestado atenção nele, talvez porque não gostei tanto do filme. Depois que fui assistir novamente só para prestar atenção em Richard. Ele é um grande ator, mas seu personagem MT Thornton é inesquecível, acho que ele estava em estado de graça.... tudo muito natural, elegante e simples...e uma química perfeita com a atriz...

I think if I were him I would have been a little bit annoyed at such tired questions. I mean, showing the N&S clip is fine but the Darcy comparison? I love both films and honestly I never once thought of comparing the two. Maybe it’s different in Britain.
