Colin Firth - grrrrrr......!



Colin Firth was born on September 10, 1960 in Grayshott, Hampshire, United Kingdom. His father David is a history lecturer at King Alfred's College in Winchester and his mother Shirley is a comparative religions lecturer at the Open University. Colin describes their influence in his life as "Flamboyance on one side and classically English reserve on the other." Colin has a sister Kate and a brother Jonathan.

LEA: Background yang cukup menarik, I mean - parents dia ala ala well educated la jugak. And I'm sure dia also well educated (tgk muka pon ala ala leh tau, tapi, yer la kan, you can never tell. Heheheh - then again, maybe not kot? Hmmmm) Yang penting he has a brother (pedulikkan the sista... I wonder is it a younger brother or an older brother? Tarkik la u ols. Janji, can diew dak? Hummmm)



Colin lived in Nigeria where both his parents were teaching until the age of five. He also lived in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States, but permenantly settled in England. After returning to England from the United States, Colin was nicknamed "The Yank" by his friends.

LEA: Miss Nigeria katanya. Hehehehehe... kecik2 dia dah travelled the world. Kejap duduk Nigeria until the age of 5, the moved to the States, pastu balik ke England. Mrasalah mek nak tahu, kenapesal diaorang his friends call him YANK? Yankee Doodle tu ke? Hurmmmmm (I mocchhh prefa kalu dioarang call him the WANKER! Hehehe - mesti Segem kan alek dia? NANGIS!!! Size zakar lambang lelaki sejati - NASIK! LOL!!!!)

His first taste of acting was as Jack Frost in a Christmas performance as an infant. At the age of 14, Colin decided to persue acting and enrolled in drama school at the Drama Centre in Chalk Farm. It was here that Colin was "discovered" while doing a production of Shakespeare's Hamlet during his final term. His first professional role was on West End in a production of Another Country. In 1984, he went on to star in the film adaptation of the play. Playing Judd gave him some exposure into films and Colin went on to star in various television shows and films. Including a high profile role in The Secret Garden. Colin started to gain recognition and awards for his talent.

LEA: Wow... bermula langkah dipersada as an infant? Or did they refer infant tu as Colin started in acting career when he was young? Hmmm - apa apa pon, perlu ke jadik JACK FROST? Isk. Tak per la. Suratan dah tentukan dia started his life as an actor by doin' so. Ala ala he I think, mek started noticed dia dalam one of those Cinemax movies when he played this guy yang running to be the next big thing in political history - tah ape citer tah. Lepas pada kes itiew, mek ala ala tasty kat dia but then, erm... mek tak der lah tergila2 kan kat dia until last night mek nengok Bridget Jones Diary (yes, call me past tense for all you want tapi memang semalam baru mek nengok movie itiew - LAZART!!!) I think that movie gave Colin the recognition dalam my life. HEHEHEHE...



Next Colin starred in the 1989 adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses called Valmont. It was during this role that Colin met and fell in love with American actress Meg Tilly. In 1990 the couple had a son, William together. Colin and Meg raised William in Canada in a very reclusive setting. After five years the seclusion proved to be too much for Colin and the couple seperated in an amicable split.

LEA: Perlu ke!?!?!? Meg Tilly itiew siaper u ols? Dinch hui lah. Yang penting, they never mentioned yang dia kawin pong dengan si Meg Tilly itiew, tetiber had a son katanye. Dah la tu, raised William anak diaorang tu in Canada? Binats sangat, dah ade anak tapi dinch kawin. Tapi YANG PENTING, motif seperated? Hehehe - MEK SUKE! That doesn't make him a duda now, kan? Sebab dia seperated dengan Meg, bukannye divorce, kan? Hmmmm...



Colin's fame continued to grow as he took parts in the BBC/A&E version of Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice. The role of Mr. Darcy brought Colin even more recognition and acclaim along with tons of female fans. "Women shout at me in the street and, while I have no objection to it, it's very peculiar."

LEA: Mek dinch nengok Pride and Prejudice - sebab mek nengok ala ala bohsan je? Tapi mek nengok BRIDE and Prejudice, movie si Aishwarya Rai itiew - mek suke!!! Cuba gantikan hero movie itiew dengan si Colin, PASTI SURE MELERTOP! Hehehe... LEBIH meletok kalo gantikan Aishwarya Rai Miss World has been 1994 itiew dengan mek, 1st runner-up Miss World 2004! Lebih confirmasi melerts! Haiyoh, mati la itiew Miss World 2005 yang dari Seychelles itiew! Hehehe...



During this time Colin dated co-star Jennifer Ehle. But in 1996 while filming Nostromo, Colin met and fell in love with Livia Giuggioli an Italian documentary maker. Colin's good friend novelist Nick Hornby describes Livia as "She is joke perfect; PhD, beautiful in that sultry Italian way, funny and vivacious." Colin describes meeting Livia as "It was love at first sight – or lust." The couple married on June 21, 1997.

LEA: Perlu ke setiap movie nak meet and fall in love??? Ish - well, at least this one ended up with a marriage of course. HEHEHEHE....

Colin's role as Mr. Darcy caught the eye of more than one lady, including writer Helen Fielding. She named one of her main characters Mark Darcy after him in Bridget Jones's Diary and also included Colin himself as a character in the sequel to the best selling novel, Bridget Jones's Diary : The Edge of Reason. When asked about how he felt about this Colin answered, "You can't not be enormously flattered to start with, you know, to have made it into fiction, into popular fiction, feels like quite an achievement. In fact, it's one of the biggest accolades, I think, modern society can accord you is that you have now become part of the general canon of popular reference points. And it was delightful. It didn’t happen suddenly because this thing had been growing as a diary column for some time, but I was absolutely thrilled. I felt immortalized."

LEA: Like, duh - whatever... Yang penting, statement, "caught the eyes of more than one lady..." itiew - I'd say that included moi! LOL!

The couple welcomed their first child Luca on March 29, 2001 and their second one Mateo in August 2003.

LEA: Awwwwwww... 2 kiddies? MEK NANGIS!



When asked about fatherhood Colin says "My life revolves around my two boys. Everything else pales into insignificance next to the things you really care about. I'm a dad who goes to work, but I'm a dad. If I do something, it'll have to be something where I can have my children around me."

LEA: Mek pasti dia nih musti a great dad kan?. Harus la kalau mek jadik baby girl dia, mek sanggup incest! Hehehe binatang sangat kan!? LOL!!!

Livia & Colin split their time between Rome & London. "Out of anywhere I've ever been, Italy is probably the place I get noticed least. It's fantastic. I go there and assume that I’ll be able to, you know, pick my nose, or scratch myself, and not have any witnesses. But work was always based here (in England), and friends and family were always here, so it was never my intention to uproot."

LEA: Are they still married? Dang! Bencis nya - tak per, men can kawin 4 right? LOL!!! Mek tarkik jadik medu, janji dia dinch stay sebombong dengan itiew Livia Latvia Lutvia whatever name tu... hehehehe...
