Published 2020-09-13
Colin Firth turns 60! ET spoke with the Oscar winner in 1984 about his acting philosophy and the important quote he learned in drama school that helps bring his characters to life. Firth was just 24 years old in this rare interview, and the British actor had just received rave reviews for his role in ‘Camille.’ The fresh-faced thespian opened up to ET about how he uses real-life inspiration so his acting ‘becomes real.’ Before he skyrocketed to fame with roles in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary,’ Firth shared that his acting career at the time felt ‘incredibly exhilarating.’

    Has anyone written yet that he's like wine -- better and better as he ages?:) But the voice and the smile is the same. Adorable!

    Everybody here in the comment section are like he looks like "any young actor's name". No bitch they all look like him. He is the OG.
  • @blairknight8615
    he is so good in romances... whether it is a romantic comedy such as bridget jones diary or a romantic drama such as girl with a pearl earring... you really get the feeling he puts his female co star at ease and the chemistry is so believable. also something so inherently sexy in a scene that you wouldnt expect to be... the way he just looks at his female co star can make you melt
