As any Jane Austen<\/u><\/a> fan will tell you, the dark, brooding, but also incredibly selfless Mr. Darcy is the epitome of smoldering romance<\/u><\/a>. I mean, have you seen the literal swoons that erupt from that iconic hand flex <\/u><\/a>from 2025\u2019s Pride & Prejudice<\/em><\/em>? Woof. <\/p>

However, there are so many other equally romantic gestures offered in everyday life that deserve to be celebrated just as ardently. And that\u2019s exactly what folks are doing with the oh-so wholesome \u201cNot Mr. Darcy, but\u201d trend going around on TikTok.<\/p>

The concept is pretty simple. People share videos of their partners practicing caring, selfless, but altogether mundane acts\u2026all set to a musical bit from the movie soundtrack.<\/p>

Here\u2019s one example below, where a woman named Charlene (@char.takes.shots<\/a>) records her husband walking over with a $1.50 Costco hotdog, complete with a side of chopped onions, just for her.<\/p>

As to be expected, real fans of the movie did not disappoint with their comments.<\/p>

\u201cYou’ve bewitched him body and soul.\u201d <\/p>

Others simply gushed over how simple, yet how touching this act of love really was. <\/p>

\u201cMay this type of love find us all.\u201d<\/p>

In another clip, below, another \u201cNot Mr. Darcy” is seen walking up with takeout fried chicken. <\/p>

And they say the fastest way to man\u2019s<\/em><\/em> heart is the stomach. Women love food!<\/p>

\u201cWhat excellent fried chicken. Many years since I\u2019ve had such exemplary poultry,” wrote another well versed P&P fan. <\/p>
