Cool ‘Woke’ Netflix Axe Iconic Scene Pride & Prejudice Remake to “Avoid Objectifying Men"



The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy – played by Colin Firth – emerging from
a lake was all the rage in 1995.

But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming
version of the rom-com.

According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC
scene is said to have “got millions of women hot under the collar”.

A source told the Sun: “It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments
of male objectification on screen – likes Aidan Turner’s famous topless
scything scene in Poldark.”

It’s claimed that Netflix bosses “don’t want a repeat”.

Oscar-winner Firth played Fitzwilliam Darcy in the 1995 BBC adaptation of
Jane Austen's novel, opposite Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet - who is
surprised when she visits his estate, Pemberley, to find him wet and not
properly dressed.
