Anna Karenina Interviews

Kelly Macdonald on Matthew's Oblonsky

Kelly Macdonald calls onscreen husband Matthew Macfadyen a ‘hoot’ in the role of Oblonsky, Anna’s brother.
“He’s played Oblonsky in just the right way: charismatic, frustrating, lovable – and selfishly addicted to passion.”

Anna Karenina opens in the UK on September 7th.  Click on this page to if you want to see Matthew Macfadyen in action.

Red Interview: Kelly Macdonald on Matthew Macfadyen (Aug 2012)

Kelly Macdonald (Dolly Oblonsky) was interviewed this month for Red Magazine and had the following to say about her onscreen husband, Matthew Macfadyen (Stiva Oblonsky), in Anna Karenina:

Matthew Macfadyen: An Improbably Romantic Hero (Oct 2011)

Luce found an interview in Spanish, where Matthew Macfadyen discusses being Mr Darcy, the movie The Three Musketeers, and his upcoming role in Joe Wright's version of Anna Karenina.

Briton Matthew Macfadyen, Athos, brings to life the umpteenth version of 'The Three Musketeers', which opened in theaters yesterday with an abundance of visual effects and 3D zeppelins. But first was the best Mr. Darcy of "Pride and Prejudice 'and Prior Philip of 'The Pillars of the Earth'.

It was hard to imagine that director Joe Wright chose such a guy to give life to Mr. Darcy, the romantic hero par excellence, who stars in Pride and Prejudice. But he did: Matthew Macfadyen (Great Yarmouth, England, 1974), with his sad eyes and good-natured behaviour, became one of the best leading men of the movies recently. And will be again soon, working with the same director and facing the same woman, Keira Knightley, in a new version of Anna Karenina.
