Where Is the ‘Pride & Prejudice’ Cast Now? Inside Their Lives Today

Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet

Knightley played the lead role of Elizabeth in Pride & Prejudice. Her portrayal of the second-oldest Bennet sister earned her Golden Globe and Oscar nominations.

“Pride & Prejudice was so amazing because I had been so obsessed with it since I was about 8,” Knightley told BBC Radio 1 in January 2019. “Also it was the first time that I’d worked or been around a load of people of my own age … so I think that was really fun because it was this group of girls that were all together and that was amazing.”

At the time, Knightley had already starred in a few cult-classic films, including Bend It Like Beckham, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Love Actually. She has gone on to star in several other successful films such as Atonement, Anna Karenina and The Imitation Game.

Off-screen, Knightley has been married to her husband James Righton since 2013. The couple share two daughters: Edie and Delilah.

Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy

Macfadyen had his breakout role in Pride & Prejudice, playing Mr. Darcy, the intense love interest of Elizabeth.

While the character is one of his most famous roles, Macfadyen revealed on CBS Mornings in July 2024 that he “didn’t really” enjoy his time making the film.

“There were moments I had a good time, but I wish I’d enjoyed it more,” he said. “I wish I was less worried about it. I just felt a bit miscast or I’m not dishy enough or I’m not, you know … but it worked out.”

Macfadyen later worked with Knightley on two other projects, Anna Karenina and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. He’s best known for his role as Tom Wambsgans on Succession, which ran for four seasons and earned him a Golden Globe.

The actor has been married to his wife Keeley Hawes since 2004. They share two children: daughter Maggie and son Ralph. Hawes also has a son, Myles, from her first marriage.

Rosamund Pike as Jane Bennet

Pike portrayed the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, in Pride & Prejudice. 

She rose to fame with her role as Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day and has starred in several other films since then, including An Education, Jack Reacher, A Private War and Saltburn.

The actress earned an Oscar nomination in 2014 for her role in Gone Girl and won a Golden Globe in 2021 for her performance in the Netflix series I Care a Lot.

She shares two sons, Solo and Atom, with her longtime boyfriend, Robie Uniacke, whom she has been linked to since 2009. Pike was previously engaged to the director of Pride & Prejudice, Wright.

Simon Woods as Mr. Bingley

Simon Woods had a few TV acting credits under his belt before landing his role of Mr. Bingley in Pride & Prejudice.

Woods went on to star in projects such as Penelope, Rome and Cranford before transitioning to working as a writer and director. Woods’ debut play, Hansard, premiered at the National Theatre in 2019, and his short film, Such A Lovely Day, was released in 2024.

The former actor married his husband, fashion designer Christopher Bailey, in 2012. The couple share two daughters: Iris and Nell.

Talulah Riley as Mary Bennet

Talulah Riley’s role as Mary Bennet in Pride & Prejudice was one of her first acting jobs.

She’s since starred in several films and TV series, including Inception, Bloodshot, Westworld and Pistol. Riley also wrote and directed her first film, Scottish Mussel, in 2015.

The actress married her Pistol costar Thomas Brodie-Sangster in 2024. She was previously married to Elon Musk from 2010 to 2012 and 2013 to 2016.

Carey Mulligan as Kitty Bennet

Mulligan’s first film role was in Pride & Prejudice as Kitty Bennet.

“I mean, it was the dream job,” she told Indie Wire in March 2025. “I felt lucky at the time, obviously, but I look back now and think, ‘You lucky f—–, that you managed to land that as your first gig.’ It’s extraordinary. And then what a cast to have gotten to learn from.”

Mulligan went on to star in several other successful films, including An Education, The Great Gatsby, Saltburn and The Ballad of Wallis Island. She received an Oscar nomination in 2021 for her lead role in Promising Young Woman and again in 2024 for Maestro.

The actress has been married to her husband, Marcus Mumford, the frontman of Mumford & Sons, since 2012. They share three children: daughter Evelyn, son Wilfred and a second daughter whose name hasn’t been revealed.

Jena Malone as Lydia Bennet

Malone had already been nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in Hope before she portrayed the youngest Bennet sister, Lydia, in Pride & Prejudice.

Most fans know Malone for her role as Johanna Mason in The Hunger Games franchise, but the actress has also starred in projects such as Sucker Punch, The Neon Demon, Nocturnal Animals and Love Lies Bleeding. In 2023, Malone performed her first-ever stand-up comedy routine.

She was previously engaged to photographer Ethan DeLorenzo. They share one son, Ode Mountain.

Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennet

Sutherland portrayed the patriarch of the Bennet family, Mr. Bennet, in Pride & Prejudice.

Before his death in 2024 at age 88, Sutherland had an extensive film career starring in projects such as M*A*S*H, Klute, Casanova, Horrible Bosses and Ad Astra. One of his most famous roles was as President Snow in The Hunger Games franchise, where he reunited on-screen with Malone.

The actor also had several TV credits, including The Undoing and Swimming with Sharks.
