Colin Firth is in the news for several reasons at the moment. On the first announcement that he is becoming an Italian citizen, due to Brexit fears, would at first seem to suggest that he has gone off the rails. Others would say that to hold the same nationality as his wife is just a sensible precaution whether or not Brexit were to be happening.
Our first headline explains Colin's move to become an Italian, and the second piece of news which rotates around Colin Firth is what he did with Elton John's costume (Scroll Down to read)!
British actor Colin Firth becomes an ITALIAN CITIZEN after being ‘horrified’ by Brexit
The famous British actor Colin Firth has confirmed that he has decided to become an Italian citizen as he has been ‘horrified’ by Brexit.
This has been made possible as he is currently married to an Italian lady, Livia Giuggioli, and he says that the current circumstances made this a sensible decision.
The couple have two sons, and they divide their time between homes in West London and the Umbria region of Italy.
According to a report in the Daily Mail:
In a statement, the 57-year-old said: ‘With some of the uncertainty around, we thought it sensible that we should all get the same.’
A source previously revealed to the Daily Mail: ‘Colin was horrified by Brexit and is worried about the consequences.’
Firth began to learn Italian after he started courting Livia and speaks the language fluently.
In an interview with an Austrian newspaper last autumn, he said of Brexit: ‘For me this is a disaster of unexpected proportions. Brexit does not have a single positive aspect.
‘Many colleagues, including Emma Thompson, are, like me, enthusiastic Europeans, and we still cannot believe it.’
Despite growing up in the picture-postcard village of Grayshott, said to have inspired sets for the BBC’s Lark Rise To Candleford, Firth has said he does not consider himself rooted in Britain. via British actor Colin Firth becomes an ITALIAN CITIZEN after being ‘horrified’ by Brexit
What Colin Firth did with Elton John's costume in 'Kingsman' sequel
Academy award-winning actor Colin Firth has spilled the beans on what he did behind Elton John's back.
Days after the debut of the spy comedy film "Kingsman: The Golden Circle," Firth, together with other lead stars Taron Egerton and Mark Strong, gamely shared with ABS-CBN News in Seoul, South Korea just what happened both on and off-screen in this gutsy, cartoonishly violent and bodaciously entertaining sequel.
All three actors agreed that Elton John stole the show but what was more surprising was Firth's revelation.
He said: "I tried on his costume when he wasn’t looking. We were on the set doing the scene in the bowling alley, and he was wearing those feathers, and when he wasn’t there, the costume was hanging up. I just couldn’t resist it".
The actor, who plays British superspy Harry Hart, also teased that since the secret is out, he may just have to share the photo. via What Colin Firth did with Elton John's costume in 'Kingsman' sequel
