LOVE!!! What a great way to have my breakfast cereal, across from Mr Firth. Swoon!
PS – 21) Loves his wife (at least it seemed so in an interview I once watched where the interviewer asked about all the lovely ladies he’s been with onscreen and he talked about his wife). 🙂 That is another great reason to love him!
Thank you!

Wow, what’s not to love about Colin Firth?! You have inspired me to watch Pride and Prejudice today, in honor of his birthday, Jama. I love that line “perhaps a little less formally attired”! 🙂

I need to watch P&P again too . . . as well as Bridget Jones. 🙂

I cannot say I’m as big a fan of Colin’s as you, Jama, but this version of P&P is, indeed, one of my favourites. It’s a great story.

Definitely a great story — Colin’s the best Mr. Darcy among all versions. But I’m only slightly partial . . .
