Colin Firth Just Keeps on Getting Better, and Here's the Proof
For over three decades, Colin Firth has been wowing us on stage and screen. With a résumé that spans everything from period dramas to action films, he's proven that there is nothing he can't do (including tackling ABBA songs in Mamma Mia). For his role in The King's Speech, he became the worthy recipient of an Oscar for best actor (to add to his trio of SAG Awards, his two BAFTA awards, and his Golden Globe). Not many men have played two Mr Darcy's quite so memorably, and Mr Firth definitely knows how to turn on the charm when it comes to his many outings as a romantic lead. As far as we're concerned, this silver fox just keeps on getting better. Don't believe us? Take a look back at his celebrity evolution, including some very memorable roles and red carpet appearances.
