‘Pride and Prejudice’ reboot cuts famous wet shirt scene in Netflix move

Netflix bosses have axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice in a new woke move to avoid objectifying men.

In 1995, the iconic image of Colin Firth's character, Mr. Darcy, emerging from a lake was a major hit.

However, the show's executives have stated that it won't reappear in the upcoming rom-com.

The renowned BBC scene reportedly "got millions of women hot under the collar," which will disappoint a lot of fans.

A source told The Sun, “It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen like Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.”

Although it didn't appear in Jane Austen's original 1813 story, the sultry scene quickly rose to prominence as one of the most beloved TV scenes.

At auction, the most famous wet shirt ever worn brought in £25,000, which was double its estimated sale price.

Thirty years later, the shirt’s price skyrocketed despite auctioneers predicting it would fetch between £7,000 and £10,000. The iconic scene also made Oscar winner Firth a sexual icon.

Costumes from the Cosprop costume house, which was established in 1965 by Oscar-winning designer John Bright, went on sale.
