One of the most successful actors today is Colin Firth. He is interesting in the versatility of his roles. Having started acting in films back in 1984, today he continues to do what he loves. Today, Colin Firth is probably known all over the world.
Brief information from the biography
The actor was born in 1960 in the English county of Hampshire. He grew up in the countryside with his parents and brother and sister. However, in 1971 the whole family changed their place of residence. Now they lived in St. Louis (Missouri). Interesting fact: Colin Firth was taught to play the euphonium during his school years.
The college, which the young man entered immediately after graduation from school, was graduated in 1982. And already in 1984, Colin Firth was approved for the role of Tommy Judd in the film Another Country. His successful acting career has begun.
Famous films with Colin Firth
For about 10 years in a row, Firth starred in a variety of films, but they did not bring him much success. "The Puppeteer", "Valmont", "Femme Fatale", "The Lady of the Camellias" and a few other very little-known works were seen, perhaps, only by the most devoted fans of the actor.
However, in 1995Colin Firth was invited to play the role of Mr. Darcy in the film adaptation of Jane Austen's famous novel. When the Pride and Prejudice tape was released, the number of fans (or rather, female fans) of his talent increased rapidly. In addition to success among the audience, the film and Firth's performance itself was noted by many critics.
However, after that, oddly enough, a large number of offers did not fall on the actor. No, he starred in some films, but they remained little known. The only exception is perhaps The English Patient. However, there Colin Firth plays the role of the husband of the main character, and does not appear on the screen often.
Another success for the actor was brought by the comedy romantic picture "Bridget Jones's Diary". Coincidence or not, but here the name of his hero is Darcy. One way or another, but after this work, he starred in several more fairly successful films. "The Importance of Being Earnest", "Conspiracy", "Londinium" came out in 2001-2002.
After that, Colin Firth played another of his most significant roles. Girl with a Pearl Earring was released in 2003. Colin's partner in the film was Scarlett Johansson. Here he played the artist, a real person, Jan Vermeer. The film tells the story of the painting of the same name, which is currently kept in the Mauritshuis Museum.
After that, Colin Firth's career took off. He starred in many films, including the sequel to Bridget Jones.
The most scandalous, but at the same time successful work of Colin is the role in the gay drama "A Single Man". Released in 2009, it became an occasion for rumors and gossip. Critics noted the excellent acting, as well as excellent directorial work, but many fans and fans did not like that their favorite decided to play the role of a homosexual. Be that as it may, but Colin Firth (you can see the photo in the article) was awarded the Volpi Cup for Best Actor, and was also nominated for an Oscar.
As for his personal life, now Colin Firth is officially married to Livia Giuggioli.
