Colin Firth’s real name is actually Mr Darcy, at least, that’s how most slavering British women see him, desperate to plunge their lips onto the peachy cheeks of the handsome man who played Elizabeth Bennett’s intended in Pride and Prejudice and who got all wet and blustery in that lake. He also played a lawyer called, confusingly, Mark Darcy, who was the boyfriend of Bridget Jones, who was obsessed with Pride and Prejudice. Oh it’s all very meta. But the long and short of it is that - according to one of his Chiswick neighbours - despite being happily married with several children, things can still get pretty lairy for him at the school gates. Owns an eco shop in Chiswick, which has had a bike made of bamboo for sale since it opened. In 2011, Colin won approximately 2 million awards for his role as George VI in the Kings Speech.
