10 More Actors Who Hate Their Own Movie Performances
8. Matthew Goode - Leap Year
The initial main couple of 2010's Leap Year are Amy Adams' Anna and Adam Scott's Jeremy. Tired of waiting for her partner to propose to her, Anna decides to travel from Boston to Dublin to surprise her beau at a work conference - with the intention to propose to him on 29 February, aka leap day.
In typical rom-com fashion, anything and everything goes wrong for Anna. Her flight to Ireland has to land in Wales, her boat trip across the Irish Sea is hit by bad weather which forces her to take refuge in a small Irish seaside town, she has to thumb a lift to Dublin, has her luggage stolen, and has an all-out nightmare of a trip.
Along the way, though, Anna meets Matthew Goode's Declan, who befriends her and helps her on her journey. And yes, the two, of course, eventually fall for one another.
Goode has admitted how he didn't enjoy his performance in Leap Year, but was more than happy that the shoot allowed him to spend weekends at home.
After panning the film's script to The Telegraph, Goode explained:
"Was it a bad job? Yes, it was. But, you know, I had a nice time and I got paid."
