Fictional Lover of the Week; Mark Darcy, day 1

Sorry for not posting these fictional lover of the week things for a while. Like I previously said, I am busy with the school work and that is the reason I haven't posted much. I found some time now to spend on computer and I decided to post something about this weeks lover, Mark Darcy from the Bridget Jones's diaries. :)MARK DARCY
-Fictional character created by Helen Fielding -Fielding named Mark Darcy after the Pride and Prejudice character Fitzwilliam Darcy -Fielding described him exactly like Colin Firth (played Mr. Darcy on BBC's P&P miniseries) -works as a lawyer -Mark's parents are friends of Bridget Jones's parents -A lot like Fitzwilliam Darcy; proud, handsome etc. -Colin Firth plays Mark Darcy in the Bridget Jones movies

COLIN FIRTH
-Colin Andrew Firth -Born in September 10, 1960 -British television, movie and stage actor -First gained wide public attention at 1995 when he portrayed Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy at BBC's Pride and Prejudice TV adaptation -Currently lives in both London and Italy -Is married to Italian film producer/director Livia Giuggioli -My favorite Colin Firth movies are: Pride and Prejudice mini-series, Shakespeare in Love, Bridget Jones's Diary, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Love Actually, What a Girl wants, The Accidental Husband, St. Trinians
Colin Firth has always been the "true" Mr. Darcy for me. I simply adore him. He is one of my favorite actors and I love to watch his movies. I am really looking for to see A Christmas Carol and Dorian Grey. At least A Christmas Carol is currently at Finnish movie theatres, I think I will go to see it before Christmas. Dorian Grey is coming to the Finnish theatres at the end of December. There is also going to be a sequel to St. Trinians which I hope is as funny as the first movie.
What do you think about Colin Firth? Have you seen any of his movies? Which one is your favorite? I would love to hear your opinions and comments.

  4. Sometimes I look at Colin Firth and think he's only okay looking. Then other times I look at him and thing "yummy!" I think it has a lot to do with the characters he plays and what a great job he does with them.
