From the moment he emerged from the lake, dripping & indignant, Colin Firth has held the heart of a nation. The iconic scene, in 1995, set him on a path from sex symbol to national treasure, with roles as Hugh Grant's love rival in Bridget Jones's Diary, the grieving son in When Did You Last See Your Father? & an Oscar-nominated turn as a gay university professor in A Single Man. Then came The King's Speech. His portrayal of stuttering monarch George VI finally laid to rest the ghost of Mr Darcy &, with a string of awards cluttering his mantelpiece, the Best Actor Oscar was the jewel in Colin's crown, elevating him from British star to Hollywood royalty. However, this most English of gentlemen had a nomadic childhood, spending much of his formative years in Nigeria & the United States. The transient lifestyle, & brief spells in state schools in Britain, left him desperate to fit in with his peers & it was this that sowed the seed of his acting ability. But while success came relatively easy, Colin was a reluctant star, running away on the verge of a Hollywood breakthrough to spend his 'wilderness years' in a log cabin in Canada.
