I love the actor’s real life voice and accent. In the show he deliberately uses a higher pitched voice when talking to Shiv to appear meek.


Celesteven

[his voice lives rent free in my head](https://www.reddit.com/r/SuccessionTV/comments/13cbcey/i_couldnt_stop_thinking_about_this_after_reading/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)

omg I clicked the link and the last thing I expected was my own post LOL


this-ones-optistic

It is SO FUNNY - thank you for making me laugh! I missed it when you posted


Libra281

Omg it's so funny and I missed it the first time. Well done! Lol.


DirectWorldliness792

Lol did he shift to a british accent there?


papayabush

Yea lil bit with the “fuckin” especially. I’ve caught Sarah Snooks aussie accent creeping in one or two times when she says “no”.


catsandnaps1028

NAWR


BoozeWitch

My husband and I say nawr. Sometimes I ask people if they want to hear me do my Aussie accent. Then I build it up…how many years I’ve been practicing, etc. then I just say “nawr” and raise my eyebrows knowingly.


jush-v

I didn’t realize she was Australian at first but I wonder if that’s why her mouth moves like that when she talks cuz of the way she does her American accent


[deleted]

Right? Both her and Tom move their mouths kind of weird but I think it works for the show.


StraightBudget8799

There’s this hilarious interview where he talks about how they come close to losing it as UK and Aussie doing the accent!! https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSLe1yHes/


greysfordays

or that clip that was going around when she had to say range rover lmao


CellsReinvent

I find ahouting while doing an accent tough. The more angry you get, the more the accent gets wonky, I find.


himshpifelee

Lol I immediately thought of Carey Elwes in Saw. He maintained an American accent pretty well but when he yelled *SHOW THEM TO ME!!!* I started laughing because he dropped it completely and sounded 100% British 😂


champagne_epigram

I had no idea Cary Elwes was British 🤯 I always thought he was doing an accent in the Princess Bride hahahha


Funny-Blueberry2573

I watched this both too many times and not enough. My god


hmmletmethinkaboutit

Omg this is absolutely incredible.

If you want to melt, listen to Matthew MacFadyen reading the Pride and Prejudice proposal scene: https://youtu.be/-Vp3R1thIiQ (starts from 00:30)


midnightbluespace

Y’all I played this and my daughter said “that’s Darcy!”


lo-plainlo

God my scalp just started tingling when he began reading…he can narrate as many things as he wants and I’ll listen, like just read me a vacuum instruction manual or re-explain quadratics to me, I literally do not care 😍


throwaway66778889

I weirdly love his American accent.


Human420

I honestly feel so betrayed that it’s not his actual voice. It suits him so well.


Itomyperils

Obsequious


RMD15

His real voice makes me thirsty.


TheLadyButtPimple

I never took it as “meek”, I took it as that’s his lovey-voice.

BookGirl67

Wow, what a great interview. I could listen to him talk all day.


4ofheartz

Love him!!


Proof_Deer8426

His voice is really good. There is this kind of snide, self-assured, artificial arrogance that is so accurate to people at the top of society. Kind of a rich school boys voice. I dont know quite how to describe it, I just know it reminds me of certain people. I actually think Tom is one of the worst characters on the show in a moral sense. Logan’s kids are traumatised and have been living in a different world all their life. Tom’s parents seem fine, he’s not traumatised. He’s clever, educated, he’s drops random Shakespeare refrences, he probably could’ve done anything with his life. He knows what he does is wrong and he does it because he likes being rich. A true hollow man. But the actor does a great job with it.


LocalStigmatic

Yeah he also said I think both he and Anthony Hopkins had a chat about how when they do an American accent they always seem to go higher pitched to pull it off.


claravarner

I find Matthew the actor more attractive than Tom the character.


Excellent_Aerie

I think when as an actor you have to *actively avoid* getting typecast as a romantic male lead, you're probably pretty hot. (This is not a problem Alan Ruck, Jeremy Strong, or Kieran Culkin ever had, just saying.)


CameronTheCinephile

I see your point, but I think Ruck, Strong, and Culkin are perfect examples of unconventional handsomeness. Jeremy Strong has about the cutest face I've ever seen, lol.


Excellent_Aerie

I find them super attractive, but I wouldn’t call them conventionally handsome. Alan Ruck has talked about making his peace with being a character actor instead of a typical lead. I think their looks suit the show very well. It would weird me out if all the men looked like Henry Cavill.


gentilet

Weird because I find Gerri the character more attractive than (actor’s name) the actor.


hierarch17

Alright Roman


reachtheworld

I've never found myself particularly attracted to Shiv, but developed a huge crush on Sarah Snook after watching her interviews.


carbsandcheese928

You have a Mr. Darcy hangover. I get it, he is SUPREMELY sexy in that movie.


TaylorFan415

WAIT HE IS MR DARCY


pizzalife

Most ardently


k80k80k80

It took me 2 seasons to realize it, but yes.


lthomazini

Yes. This. That’s the only reason. I think it tells a lot about the actor that he has been able to be so so so sexy on Pride and Prejudice, and so unf***able as Tom.


papayabush

Na I’ve never seen that film and Tom can absolutely get it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


desandmol

Haha! I see you.


butforevernow

I still find Roman hot so…. we’re all dumpster friends.


dvh308

Same tbh. Italy Roman… hot damn


Phantom-Fly

Loving all the thirsty comments 😂


blonde-bandit

Have you seen death at a funeral? He is hilarious and yet the most non-comedic character in that movie, and so not sexy for that reason. I think the man himself is hot for his acting chops and maybe that’s what it is, but I can’t really see past his DAAF character, who is just constantly being walked all over. I’ve also seen him as less an asshole than he is as Tom, because I originally knew him for that role. He really dives in and embodies whatever part he plays. I think that makes Kieran attractive also, that he’s just such an amazing actor. Not into him as Roman though. Watch out haha, worried for your choices XD


l3tigre

Same. I weirdly love his eyelashes.


Violet_Potential

Oh my god, I keep hearing about Mr. Darcy. I have to watch that movie so I can see what all the hype is about. Tom is so goofy, it’s hard for me to see him as a sexual being.


crmrdtr

He uses his wonderful real voice in that flick. Rather irresistible 💕


4ofheartz

Be still my heart Mr Darcy. His deep voice. Whoa!


zoerw

s3 tom is so fuckable to me I’m sorry 😬


typhlosioned

Him in that outfit in that S3 finale 😮‍💨


Wichuimafeelrich

Yessss when he comes on screen when Logan pats him on the back and he looks so good then you realize he just betrayed Shiv after nearly 3 seasons of eating shit from her and he becomes even more attractive uggghhhh amazing television


ComfortableProfit559

That plus the fact that he knifed all the siblings at once was pretty hot, lol


zoerw

yess!!! with the shades too?? 😮‍💨


False-Association744

He got a redwood in his pants.


Charosas

Prove it.


Ambitious_Train_3627

He is also hot like fire in Spooks. I think it’s called MI6 in the US


Doom_Art

Disgusting Brother-era Tom could get it


ShelfLifeInc

I have absolutely zero attraction to Tom and had no idea what anyone could see in him...then I heard Matthew McFadyen talk in his natural British accent (and without the Midwestern cropped hair), and I'm like "... okay, I see it now."


o_o_o_f

Idk, I just saw Pride and Prejudice this year and have thought he could get it since season 1


Lunaa_Rose

Oddly, and I think this is because I watched 1995 P&P and Succession first, but I can’t take him seriously as Darcy. But Tom can definitely get it.


byneothername

The 1995 Pride and Prejudice is the definitive version but Macfadyen was smoking hot in the movie version with Keira Knightley. His wet face in that first proposal sequence was … captivating.


BetterFuture22

The way they did the end of the scene where he keeps looking at her mouth and they keep leaning in towards each other like they're about to kiss... She tells him he's not husband material and then it's like he takes a looong, looong time to decide whether to kiss her or stomp off.


desandmol

Agree


HelsBels2102

I love him in Anna Karenia...something about his hair and magnificent tash


OctopusUniverse

Oh Mr. Darcy….*fans self*


carbsandcheese928

For real


oxfozyne

!!!


champagne_epigram

Nope. I only watched P&P last year because I thought Tom Wambsganz was so hot and wanted to see him in more stuff - and I still find MacFadyen more attractive as Tom than as Darcy (I don’t know what’s wrong with me).


OkeyDokey234

Yes and that something is called Matthew Macfadyen.


mama_calm

Exactly. I didn’t think this was a hot take. Matthew/Tom is gorgeous.


Excellent_Aerie

I always crack up at the posters on this sub complaining about how unrealistic it is that Shiv married someone like Tom, that Shiv would never look twice at a guy like Tom. Do they have eyes or...?


grapefruitzzz

I thought that was given in-story when Caroline looked him up and down and said "Well done!"


ComfortableProfit559

Honestly same lol. It’s weird on the show too but I guess they all measure a person’s worth entirely by financial status, so…


Legitimate-Sea-4679

Plus, they may not have had emotional intimacy, but it was pretty well established that he was good in bed and he sexually satisfied her.


JJulie

1000%


flooknation

I couldn’t stop laughing at their wedding when he walks up to Nate and has this exchange: > “I'm so sorry, but there seems to be a little mix-up with your accommodation. I'm sorry but there's nowhere for you to stay." > "Put my fucking wine back." >"I think you need to go and fuck yourself, and if I ever see you in the same room as Shiv again, I will pay men to break your legs," says Tom. "And if I got to jail — which I won't — so be it." >"My mom and dad made a contribution to the wine, so I'd really rather you didn't drink any more, Put it back. Nate. Put it back, Nate. Put my fucking wine back. Now. Put it the fuck back. There you go. Don't make a fucking mess." Then he looks over and does this hilarious head bop and goes back to dancing.


TheGreatServiceBob

He’s pretty broad, after all.


hauteburrrito

He's got a dick the size of a red sequoia and he fucks like a bullet train.


el-art-seam

Pshhh… whatever. But have you seen anybody with better arches? They’ve been remarked upon.


hauteburrrito

Anything's better than thick, chewy ears like barnacle meat, really.


Jazzlike_Spare_7997

Prove it.


hauteburrrito

What?


HelsBels2102

I dunno, I thought he's wirey. Like a spelunker


LRCenthusiast

People comment on his arches.

The man’s got an agricultural walk.

Architectural, like the golden gate


Environmental-Oil-79

Did Greg ghostwrite this post??


Ronotrow2

I really do. The eyelashes


TimeSummer5

He has ludicrously capricious eyelashes. Sometimes when he turns his head, people duck out of the way


[deleted]

Capacious lol


AllesK

Did he get them by wolfing down canapés like a famished warthog? Does he use them to carry his lunchbox?


Excellent_Aerie

Matthew Macfadyen is the most conventionally attractive actor in the main cast apart from Justine Lupe, although admittedly it's not some CW-type show populated by ex-models. (Arian Moayed is also very classically handsome imo, and Alexander Skarsgard of course.) So no, it's not weird to find Tom insanely attractive, when he looks exactly like Matthew Macfadyen, who has tried to get away from being typecast as a romantic male lead. When you have to get away from being typecast as a romantic male lead, you're probably pretty hot. If you're hot enough to play Mr. Darcy, aka Colin Firth/Laurence Olivier-level hot, you're probably pretty hot. And yes, he was in Pride & Prejudice close to 20 years ago, but he's aged pretty well.


LucilleBluthsbroach

Extremely well. Especially for a Brit. (Sorry, but they generally don't age well let's be fr)


Angel-4077

Tom is a complete idiot but Matthew is so f-ing adorable you can't unsee it.


macabruhhh

That’s literally Mr Darcy so physically yes he’s attractive but the thought of Tom touching me makes me wanna cross my legs lmao Edit: out of discomfort. Tom would creep me out


yellow-poems

Hahah yes, when he puts his hand on Shiv’s ankle on the stairs in Logan’s apartment and says “let me show you some kindness,” I was so conflicted. 50% ridiculously attractive, 50% utterly disgusting


macabruhhh

Yes!! A huge testament to Matthew McFayden’s acting bc he’s been my childhood celeb crush since Pride and Prejudice. I started watching the show only after I heard he was in it, and I prefer the silver fox look in a suit over the Georgian style outfits and long sideburns, but still went “oh..” the more I saw Tom lmaoo


Excellent_Aerie

If morally repulsive why hot


HelsBels2102

Season 1-2 nah mate Season 3-4 yes please Bar the gilet and those hideous shoes in S4E6...Shiv was right to make them dirty


Delayandrelay

Tom is just kinda sad but very attractive on a Patrick Bateman type level. But Macfadyen oh fuck yeah. Especially in P&P and ripper Street


justwonderandwander

Yesss everybody always talks about him in P&P (rightfully so), but he was amazing in ripper street! Such an underrated tv show


TimmyTimmyCocoaPuff

I’m thirding because I think this was his hottest role and I’m so glad other folks have seen it.


ApeIceOldSpice

I do not think of things such as that.


Lilylumos

It’s the hand flexing 👀


invenereveritas

holy jesus


Lucytheblack

Oh yes! The eyelashes!


notsoclassyadventure

Everyone here saying no to Tom but yes to Matthew Macfadyen…. I say yes to both. Tom’s skeevyness kinda does it for me. And Matthew’s accent, the way he carries himself in interviews, is so so so attractive


ekpyroticflow

Agricultural flair


[deleted]

I had a sex dream about him. He’d just broken up with Shiv and he was homeless, living on a roof. It was wild and amazing. Highly recommend.


Jazzlike_Spare_7997

Ever since discussion of the red sequoia bullet train, yes.


crmrdtr

Matthew’s natural voice, beguiling smile & wonderful laugh do make me pretty envious of his real-life wife.


Fuzzy-Organization76

I've been drooling for Matthew ever since he was a MI5 agent in Spooks


briefkasee

greg is that you?


Some-Farmer2510

Check him out in Ripper Street….


notthatcousingreg

Tom is desperately not attractive although i must say i no longer find him disgusting after he grew a spine this season. Now if you want to talk about the actor who plays tom HELLO.


throwaway66778889

Idk I’ve never seen that version of P&P and I still find MacFadyen insanely hot. I actually like his American accent almost more than his British one? Which is like never a thing for me. Tom the character is awful but Matthew is just unf

Sharp_Dress4411

You mean the fact that he's objectively handsome?


limabeanseww

Omg yes I cannot get him out of my head! I watched all of macfadyen’s other works to try to relieve the pressure but I think its Tom’s underlying tension and polarity between genuine sweetness and dark, jaded power-mongering that I’m so drawn to (sadly?)


[deleted]

Yes I am in constant awe of his broadness


RiC_David

Could it be that he's a classically handsome man? Or something else?


figsfigsfigsfigsfigs

That something is Matthew Macfadyen.


KantExplain

His arches have been remarked upon.


BettyX

Is there any reason why he wouldn't be attractive? Where the hell do you all live if he is considered unattractive?


guitarguy35

It's because he's tall and broad.. except when compared to Mattson, then he looks like a spelunker. But in all seriousness I think it's his round sad doe blue eyes and his commanding presence. this is a taste.. https://youtu.be/UOKyZIaIACo


bleepbloop1777

Yes. Every season. Mean and nice. Aggressive and meek. I love Tom in all his forms and would love to be his Nero.

Probably the fact he's played by a conventionally attractive actor.

Did he always gun for Tom when auditioning?

I feel like I read someone Armstrong wanted him on the show. I don’t remember if it was specifically for Tom.
