Colin Firth set to be knighted

March 4th, 2011

Washington, Mar 4 – Colin Firth may soon be knighted, thanks to his splendid performance in ‘The King’s Speech’.

The 50-year-old actor portrayed Queen Elizabeth’s father King George VI in the movie, and the royal family are said to be so impressed with his performance they are considering making him a Sir.

“Colin has been a great ambassador for Britain throughout his career and his sensitive portrayal of King George VI has won him much admiration among the royal family – and of course, the film’s many fans,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling the Daily Mail.

Although the Buckingham Palace hasn’t confirmed the rumour, Firth will learn if he has made the cut the week before the Queen’s Birthday Honours list is announced in June.

A source said, “The Queen loves a good film. ‘The King’s Speech’ is close to the bone as it is a portrayal of her family in the 1930s. But she found it moving and enjoyable. She was clearly amused by some of the lighter moments.” (ANI)

Colin Firth treats marriage like a marathon

Colin Firth believes that the key to a happy marriage is treating it like a ‘marathon’.
The 50-year-old actor, who is married to Italian film producer-and-director Livia Giuggioli, insists their 15-year relationship is still strong because they always take out time for each other, reports Contactmusic.
Colin – who has two sons, nine-year-old Luca and Matteo, seven, with Livia – said: “You know, we’ve made it 15 years together. I think that’s pretty good going, by Hollywood standards. And it’s going to go on forever. You just navigate things on a daily basis. We are crazy about each other.
“We’re very committed on a daily basis to how we deal with our family lives. But the real secret is time – we have to make sure that we spend enough time together.
“Every relationship in life you’re going to have to take care of, there’s a marathon factor to it,” he added. (ANI)
