The Bear star Ayo Edebiri had the most hilarious interaction with Matthew Macfadyen backstage at the 2024 Emmys when she revealed to the Successionstar that she was grounded as a child for having a screensaver of him as Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice on her computer.

Edebiri spilled:

"Yeah, so I got grounded, because my dad was like, 'Who's this man?!'"
'"Who's this guy in the coat? With the beautiful hair?'"

Macfadyen later shared their conversation with Entertainment Tonight, explaining:

"She [told me she] was grounded, because she had a screensaver of me as Mr. Darcy on her laptop."

He added:

"Good parenting."
"I haven't heard that [before]."

The Pride & Prejudice film in which Macfadyen starred was released in 2005, when Edebiri was just a wee 8-year-old.

Needless to say, viewers of this clip were in hysterics over the Big Mouth star's confession.

Vance Cites ‘Traffic Violations’ To Help Justify Sending Migrant Dad To El Salvador Prison

Vice President J.D. Vance was criticized after he doubled down on his insistence that a Maryland father who was accidentally deported to an El Salvadorian prison due to an "administrative error" was a criminal, justifying the move—much to the anger of social media users—because the man had "traffic violations" that warranted his removal.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.
