Biography

Colin Andrew Firth was born into an academic family in Grayshott, Hampshire, England. His mother, Shirley Jean (Rolles), was a comparative religion lecturer at the Open University, and his father, David Norman Lewis Firth, lectured on history at Winchester University College (formerly King Alfred's College) in Winchester, and worked on education for the Nigerian government. His grandparents were missionaries. His siblings Katie Firth and Jonathan Firth are also actors. Firth's first acting experience came in infant's school when he played "Jack Frost" in a Christmas pantomime. Three of his four grandparents were Methodist missionaries and he spent his early childhood in Nigeria, returning to England at age five where he entered a comprehensive school in Winchester. He spent two years at the Drama Centre, then in Chalk Farm, where he was "discovered" whist playing "Hamlet" during his final term. His first professional role was as "Bennet" in the West End production of "Another Country". From this performance, he was chosen to play the character of "Judd" in the movie of the play. He went on to play a variety of character parts in both film and television. For his portrayal of "Robert Lawrence" in the 1989 TV production Tumbledown (1988), he received the Royal Television Society Best Actor award and also a BAFTA nomination. He also received a BAFTA nomination for "Mr. Darcy" in the 1995 TV version of Pride and Prejudice (1995). In 2011, he won the Oscar for Best Actor for his commanding leading role, playing British King George VI in The King's Speech (2010).

To Bridget Jones, with Love and a Glass of Champagne 🥂❤️ 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy' (2025)

“And even though there might be 600,000 words in the human language, the world still struggles to find the right ones when someone you love is gone”. Bridget Jones This article contains spoilers that the trailer let us know right from the start, so don't be too surprised. Anyway, I'll try not to mention too much. :⁠-⁠) I knew who I was from a very early age... A few days ago I went with my mum and aunt to the premiere of the latest Bridget Jones movie. As we do every month, we had our girls' nig

Is There Room for Another Bridget Jones? Turns Out, They Just Keep Getting Better

Are you ready to be ‘cordially’ invited to the next greatest thing since the last royal wedding? Well they're certainly dishing up as much drama, and it's hot off the press! Alright, let’s talk about Bridget Jones' newest instalment, Mad About the Boy. In my opinion its hands down the best movie of 2025... so far, and honestly, the most relatable rom com we’ve had in ages. Why? Because bless her chaotic heart, Bridget isn't living the fairy tale life that Hollywood is trying to sell us; she's li

Lucas.: "love isn’t just one epic romance. It’s a series of loves, losses, and figuring-it-out." I loved that. Also, so glad to hear that Hugh Grant is back!

Bridget Jones at 50: A Life Worth Stealing?

There’s no millennial girl who hasn’t seen Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001), but not everyone has followed up with the sequels. At least, I didn’t. Now it’s 2025, and when Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy came out, I suddenly realized there was a second and third movie that I had completely missed. Where was I all these years? Busy with life, I guess. But jumping straight from the first movie to the fourth? That was a shock. Because in my mind, Bridget was still the slightly chubby, thirty-something

2025 Oscars | Oscars Cheat Code: Play a President!

With less than a month to go until the 97th Academy Awards ceremony, this year’s awards season is in full swing. As a seasoned film enthusiast, I’m already looking ahead to next year’s race. After all, the Oscars aren’t just a celebration of cinema; they’re also a “psychological battle” filled with strategy and omens. So, are there any signs or secrets to a film securing a place at the Oscars? You might say that biopics are more likely to win the Academy’s favor, or that Cannes Film Festival win

Kingsman: My Obsession with The Gentleman Spy

No film has ever taught me what it means to be a gentleman quite like Kingsman. In the movie, Kingsman was originally a high-end tailor shop. After World War I, many bigwigs who had lost their heirs pooled their resources to create this independent, neutral organization outside of government control, with the primary purpose of maintaining world peace. Their agents are collectively known as "Kingsmen," each adopting a codename inspired by the Knights of the Round Table. The agent pictured above

"Kingsman: The Secret Service": How to Kill with Elegance

"Kingsman: The Secret Service" brings back a long-lost yet fundamental cinematic experience for audiences: pure entertainment. This cinematic experience is built on various elements, from storytelling to character development, coupled with trendy and innovative "technical martial arts" action scenes, all packaged in an elegant gentleman's style, outlining the most basic framework of the film. As an adaptation of a comic book, the film's style has to be exaggerated; with a madman-like villain, th

Nocturnal Animals: To Susan, To Those Who Give Up On Their True Love

"When you love someone, you have to be careful with it. You might never get it again.” The line that appears at the end of the trailer is the core of the film. "Nocturnal Animals" seems to be a beautifully designed and profound parable, warning the audience in the most beautiful and cruellest way: if you are lucky enough to have a soulmate, never give him/her up for money or worldly views. As the creator of a fashion empire, Tom Ford is avant-garde and even radical. However, his choice in movies

Mamma Mia 2 : A Drunken Romp that Loves Itself

There’s something deeply moving about a film full of artistry, where the passion and thought involved in its creation is palpable in each frame. Watching that kind of movie, you can’t help but feel slightly heavy once the credits start to roll, left with so much to think about that you don’t know where to begin. Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried, and Christine Baranski being paid good money to point at stuff. Mamma Mia : Here We Go Again isn’t one of those movies, though. It’s spont
