Colin Firth

I just don't get it with Colin Firth. What's all the fuss about? The new Bridget Jones movie is out and every woman I know is giving it "oooh, Colin Firth". It's even crept into the comments on my blog. I mean look at the guy. He's not what you'd consider attractive, he's just a plain, ordinary bloke. I can understand when women go on about Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, even George Clooney, but Colin Firth? He's like the back end of a bus. I guess there's just no accounting for taste.
(BTW, if you click on the picture you'll get a nice big image of Colin. See, I am kind after all)

COLIN FIRTH FILM QUESTION
Anyone know the name of a film about a fellow (American I think) who forges an ancient Rembrandt, is arrested for a murder he did not commit, and is exonerated eventually by the Colin Firth character who witnessed the murder, was coerced into keeping mum about it, but who tells the truth and identifies the murderer at the trial.
Many thanks.
David Larousse.

I read the plot summary of every one of Colin’s movies on IMDB and none of them looked like what you describe. Maybe it wasn’t Colin Firth after all…?
BTW, in doing this I've found out that Colin was in an awful lot of crap movies that probably no one has even heard of!

[Steve]

Actually that movie sounds like "Incognito":

"Incognito", Warner Brothers, 1997, Color, Filmed in Panavision and presented at measured aspect ratio (DVD) 2.32:1, Surround Sound, DD, 1 Hr 48 min, Rated R; Jason Patric, Irene Jacob, Rod Steiger;
Harry Donovan (Patric) paints counterfeit masterpieces for money while he waits to win fame for his own works. When a one-man-show fails to materialize, he decides to accept a $500,000 offer to paint a lost Rembrandt, which will be accidentally discovered in the basement of a Spanish peasant. He meets a Rembrandt expert, Marieke Van Den Broeck (Jacob), who is the only one not fooled by the forgery. Harry is framed for a murder when the perpetrators of the scheme decide to auction the fake painting instead of selling it to a rich Japanese art patron. The police chase Harry and Marieke from France, to Holland, and England, during which the two fall in love. Finally, Harry is caught and goes to trial, where he must convince the court that he actually painted the fake masterpiece. The trouble is, the forgery is so brilliantly done, even the Rembrandt experts refuse to believe him. The story has its exciting moments, but never really goes deep enough to grip viewers by the throat."

Colin Firth isn't in it though... IMDB lists even the smallest and most insignificant of appearances, even uncredited ones.

Oh my gosh i watched trauma last night and guess what colin firth looked sexy then ever. I really like him a lot and think he is a very good handsome man. I love all his films especially What a girl wants. He sounds very caring and kind. My other film i like is bridget Jones Diary The edge of reason. My Mum and Aunt Kay both like him a lot. They have watched a lot of his films as well.

Firstly real men don't blog, little thirteen year old girls keep diaries let alone on-line diaries for the whole world to read. Secondly real men eat meat. And thirdly Colin Firth has more than just sex appeal, or good looks. He's a damn good actor. Sure, Sure Brad Pitt, and Tom Cruise Have their moments but their talent is not consistent. I have'nt seen a movie with Colin Firth in it that wasn't good. So why don't you take your stupid vegetables and stick em. You wouldn't know talent if it came up and bit you square in your pasty, no talent having ass. P.S. You are one goofy looking S.O.B.

[Lisa]

Steve,
I think that Colin Firth is a heck of a lot more better looking than you. What makes him attractive to most women is his normal appearance. AND the fact that he looks great wearing a wet white shirt!

[MAI]

HELLO! My name is Mai. I like Colin in Bridget Jones. He acted in Mark Darcy. Mark Darcy is a perfect man. His habit brings he looks so good. Thank You. Bye By

[debbie]

Just check out his face..his eyes, his mouth, his gorgeous smile. You are right he's not good looking he is very sexy and gorgeous. He has a wonderful little smirk he does, a sigh to die for and just a gorgeous body..long legs, fingers and all.

He is also a wonderful person, devoted husband and a fantastic daddy. Just read around and you will learn who he is by his interviews as well as others that know him.

He is the perfect, perfect man...

[kay pantoll]

Why do you have to dig holes in colin firth .
He is just someone who enjoys being an actor and enjoys his jobs
It is just cheap to dig holes at him and some would say your jealous of him and his good looks

[Sanjay]

He also same to this carrot his face is very beautifull That's great man

[Debra A]

It is the eyes. There is not a sexier man out there. Every woman in the world wants a man to look at her the way Colin Firth looked at Renee Z. in Bridget Jones. His acting in Girl with the Peral Earring was outstanding.

[jackie martinez]

Colin firth, just saying his name,is almost all i can take. He is beautifu,gorgeous.too muck to descrbe him, he is all of it, any man that sayd diiferent is JEALOUSE, ask his wifE????

[Therese]

[jessica friars]

i think colin is the best, i love his looks and his eyes, and everything about him, but im content, that he has a wife and kids and im happy if he is. he is a true good looking man, but i agree P&P was amazing, but mamma mia, oooooooo

lol he was amazing, love u colin, ur the best

[jessica friars]

hey, ur just jealous, he is attractive, if u have a wife, if u r lucky, she probably fancies him, more than she does u, and that is what is anoying u. so there. leave him alone.

[shazzo]

he is pretty attractive i likw him so does my nan and both of my aunties.
Brad Pitt aint bad but colin fith does it for soz.

[Maeve]

Most women love Colin Firth. I am one and I love him - whenever I mention his name to other women, the usual reponse is 'Oh I love him too'. He is understatedly gorgeous, a gifted and unusual actor, a good family man and genuinely committed person to causes like fair trade and the rights of asylum seekers (in other words he's not just doing it for publicity). This type of man is what most women want. In summa, he is absolutely not a bastard. Most men seem to think women like them - they don't - which is why most of the good men like him are usually snapped up quick by savvy women. That said his wife Livia is pretty gorgeous too.

Steve? I don't care your name actually.
Are you an actor? How many films you made? How can you say that to a wonderful actor?
You jealous Colin Firth, I can't blame you after that photo, but, this 'thing' you wrote is miserable and I feel sad about you.
Watched, Pride and Prejudice, Shakespeare In Love, Hope Springs, Trauma and look to diffrence between his roles, and maybe you'll understand, his an amazing actor. And he can do it with his face. You don't have to find him handsome -his more than handsome, of course- and you can jealous him, his perfect, but if you found Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise handsome and, can say his not, its weird.
Also, you're a man, right? If you saying this actor is handsome, this look like back of a bus all the time, maybe there's a problem with you? Right?
Don't eat carrot all the time, if you want, be like a grow up, drink milk before go to bed, like a 5-6 yeaars old child, because you make an impression like a child.
