Lynn Hirschberg's Screen Tests: Colin Firth
Starring: Colin Firth

[@extenebrislux]

I mean, I don't know him personally, but I'm absolutely convinced he's a truly perfect man in every way.

[@Olivia_Neumann]

He voted for Brexit, other than that, I agree with you.

[@extenebrislux]

@@Olivia_Neumann I can't believe that. He's always described Brexit as disastrous.

[@Olivia_Neumann]

@@extenebrislux omg I'm so sorry, I have read that completely wrong somewhere! I see now that it was the exact opposite way around. That's on me, so sorry.

[@extenebrislux]

@@Olivia_Neumann phew! lol no worries

[@CalmNDN]

He's annoyingly handsome. He seems perfect. I know I am not the only one.

[@cruzzo260]

His face is just so adorable when he smiles..

[@inspiritGalaxy]

hye taeyang !!!

[@elizabethbennet392]

He is my perfect man

[@barblibrarian]

I find it fascinating that he prefers the quiet heroes. I am sure he would be surprised to find that he is a quiet hero himself. He lives such an admirable life. Faithful and supportive husband, attentive father, responsible caretaker of the earth, well-spoken and concerned citizen, etc. And always a man of calm, diligence in his work, with a humorous view of himself and the world. Yet, he is a great reader and obviously a deep thinker. Quite the man to be regarded as a hero by the world...

[@christiinejoyce]

Whenever this guy played a grumpy role he is absolutely nailing it, but when he smile, it is completely another story. Gosh. This guy is just so beautiful. 😍❤️

[@ladybruin12]

"I'd probably cry if...I got a splinter or something. I fell off my bicycle a couple of years ago...I almost cried recently in New York cause it was so cold" LMAO This man is great!

[@TheYunikey]

I listen to this before I sleep. His voice is so soothing.

[@tosiaspica9324]

I feel I want to hug him. now.

[@TheBeautifulBecs]

I don't why or what it is... but I find him EXTREMELY attractive

[@prettyvisionsx]

he's one of the most attractive men in the world mainly because of his personality.

[@LisaWatsonFilm]

He's so adorable when he smiles and handsome and I just cant stop staring haha

[@AnimalChiko]

Oh, the smile and the nod at the very end!

[@lillisuelacey3958]

Am I the only one who finds his voice satisfying and dreamy

[@ColinandMe]

What an engaging speaker. He can talk about anything and I would be completely captivated. His voice, his choice of words (he admitted in an interview how punctilious he is and I had to look up the word in the dictionary) and the sincerity comes right through. I gotta get his audio book. Thanks for posting.

[@fleurvanboven680]

Oh Colin Firth, you are so fascinating..

[@laurenvanloo5558]

I love him! He's a wonderful actor and so charming. I iterally swoon when I see him.

[@cbgirl77]

where did the 1 dislike come from ... Hugh Grant?

[@rumblefish9]

Hugh Grant is lovely and utterly charming

[@lacasadichef]

he touches me every time. Prince Charming.

[@catzenhouse]

How can I put this without gushing? I am inordinately grateful to this man for his kindness and graciousness to my dear late friend in England who passed away suddenly last March. She spoke to him several years ago at an Italian Institute event in which he was the main speaker. My friend worked as an au pair in Italy after high school so spoke fluent Italian. So when she met Mr. Firth they happily chattered away in Italian until his wife dragged him away. When she was leaving he saw her, stood up and wished her "Buona Serra!" What a gentleman! Thank you, sir.

[@OliveLouisa]

OMG I almost died at the cuteness of the list of things he'd cry at, getting a splinter and because it was cold! Marry me already Colin!

[@filipinaporcelina27]

the thing that makes him sexier is the fact that he seems to be totally unaware of how sexy and dangerously charming he is.

[@JuneGrippin]

Oh that smile at the end.... I just melted:)

[@tashamiel]

omg Jesus, the older he is, the hotter he gets dammit.

[@Luke-tt7wx]

God he is so handsome and charming. The way he talks so interesting

[@tosiaspica9324]

All I can say it's : I love him.

[@Presca1]

I'd love this, having him sitting across from me immersed in deep conversation about everything and nothing at all. I think he'd be fascinating to talk to. Lovely man. And not solely because of his looks - but his intelligence, charm and kind nature. Very compelling.

[@catzenhouse]

A friend of mine has met him and talked to him. They spoke in Italian even though she is English as well as she had mentioned to him that she had worked as an au pair in Italy after finishing school. I don't remember the jist of the conversation but he was very kind and gracious. He even said "good night" to her in Italian when he saw that she was leaving the function they were at. sigh...

[@PradeepSingh-ei5es]

I don't miss a movie of Colin Firth. Wonderful actor !!

[@perfect0nly]

I know how it sounds.. but it's like.. I see him, I can clearly see his soul and it's beautiful

[@miaoxu8448]

so nice..... and so funny when he said he almost cried because it is too cold.hahaha

[@KR-xr4yc]

Hahahah i loughed so hard that i had to cry when he said that😂

[@eternalrose98]

His voice is the perfect British voice let's be honest

[@anastasia6790]

Nowadays people tend to forget what the words "soul" and "personality" mean. But I can see both his soul and personality. And it's so beautiful! I'm absolutely in love! Now I'm dreaming of meeting him in person!

[@sarahmcquade544]

I've always thought he was attractive in his roles....but this video.....it just made me realize how utterly adorable and beautiful he is!!!

[@clarabattaglia4733]

there's something about this man.. I think perfection it's the right word!

[@Astrosassy]

3:26-the end= my favorite clip on youtube. ever.

[@nisadwyz]

i need to listen to his voice before i go to sleep 💤

[@giarooz7]

Yes one Colin Firth for marriage, please. Thanks.

[@cadyam]

Funny thing is that I've been living in the UK for ages and no one speaks like him. This is what I call a 'neutral accent' and I BLOODY LOVE IT!

[@Limsueyoun]

haaaaaaa why he becomes more and more attractive

[@tomcruisemiddleteeth]

So eloquent and just so AMAZING!

[@cristinacf9820]

He is soooooo adorable!!!

[@SuoBella]

oh my gosh...he is such a pleasure to listen to and watch.....*squeal then sigh*

[@kellymendozan]

I love this guy♥...

[@wang9190]

These are some extraordinary footages of great interviews!! It is so interesting to hear from you the dichotomy of British poitics in its apologetic side and the other domineering side. Aa always, Love your film, Colin!

[@ddelfao]

absolutely adorable.

[@YourAchillesHeel]

he's looking at my lips... then my eyes

[@olgas2917]

Улыбка искренняя. Добрые глаза. Жаль, я не смогу с ним познакомиться лично.

[@Sophie-qy4cm]

I love this man's smile

[@nganle-qk1qv]

You can live with me, Mr.Colin Firth. Here is never cold.

[@Kasturi1857]

I love the way he laughs ..that haah haaah makes me melt :)

[@libbylaughsable]

God, his voice is amazing!

[@DAVAMARC]

his voice is so soothing

[@olgas2917]

Обожаю Колина Ферта. Для меня это идеал человека и мужчины.

[@candaceroberts3238]

Beautiful smile.

[@polmayoneso1711]

Amo todo de ti, tan precioso actor. Tú eres una gran persona en este mundo. ❤

[@gillianschuurman]

I can't stop watching these screentests.

[@Tora0dead]

I've never thought about the English character this way, what an interesting point he makes.

[@cumbercollective565]

Oh,I love him, I love Mr.Darcy!!!!!!!

[@dalangie]

I loved when Alan Rickman wrote in his diary about him something like "Colin was as inclusive and open like always."

[@1rimi21]

It is much colder here than it is in England at times. I want to cry everyday because the cold just doesn't seem to want to go away. He is the quiet hero that can get me to cry with just a look.

[@GorgeousColinILoveU]

@cbgirl77 I think so as well.... Colin Firth - brilliant, brilliant man :ö))). He's is sooooo charming and sooooooooo delightful. So - I can't understand as well, how anybody can dislike this lovely Interview...

[@onmyway1957]

it's may not proper, but i gottta say, he's so beautiful!

[@dramaadictisback4986]

He’ll always be Mr Darcy for me ♥️

[@applemintcoffee]

I wish to see him on this screen test soon!

[@shakspawn]

I keep expecting for him to stutter!:)) Such a great actor!

[@rampageclover9788]

Love me some Colin Firth

[@iamnotconceited2270]

It is universally acknowledged that Colin Firth is forever will be Mr. Darcy.

[@thegirlwhoharnessedthesun3803]

Lovely gentleman ❤️

[@yasinitavashaev]

I love him

[@elizabethbennet392]

I love him🥰😘

[@judyxu37]

Colin is sooooo handsome 🔥🔥love him with all my heart💋❤

[@xanseviera]

awww my baby..

[@jelena6230]

Is he aware of his awesome personality? I am quite sure that every woman is looking for a man like him. Insane Colin.

[@SkinnedLynryd]

The first time I saw him in A Single Man I was mesmerized. I was again blown away by him in Kings Speech... He definitely needs to be in more films. Truly brilliant actor

[@XXXBO444]

A very very nice person !❤ Mr. Darcy !!!

[@vivienbagtasos7508]

Sooooo Handsome!

[@ennayak113]

i love what he says about quiet heroes

[@jd90024]

Love this man. :)

[@user-xg5ll5nx3k]

Прекрасное время❤прекрасное оно из-за того, что нам посчастливилось жить вместе с таким замечательным Человеком и Актером!! Мистер Колин Эндрю Ферт❤ не просто актер, это просто не объяснимо, играть и передавать так эмоции глазами, его скромность, обоняние, сдержанность, необъяснимый коктейль красоты, такие карие глубокие глаза, ямочки и уголки губ, просто не забываем о, низкий поклон

[@mrssyringa]

Now I truly feel like Colin Firth was actually talking just to me. Heaven.

[@blueshoelace1000]

Why, WHY hasn't Robert Downey Jr done one of these secreen tests?!

[@Lubbylove89]

Ok ovaries exploded at his smile near the end. He's really too handsome.

[@aichagermany]

I love Colin, and it´s so right what he said about King George VI as a quiet hero, because with Edward VIII as King maybe World War II has a another, a terrifying ending

[@skye1624]

I adore this man.... :-)

[@DutchGirlJay]

Colin...

[@kayasaki86]

3:40 so cuuuuuute jajajajaj

[@jagerann]

Why is he so perfect?

[@irenaszczepanska2530]

Ulubiony doskonały ColinFirth ❤❤❤❤

[@athina663]

I'll have mine wrapped and ready to go, thank you.

[@rladnsdud66]

British accent❤❤

[@hayalistanbul5418]

"l llike you just as you are."❣️

[@ro5marinu5]

How can his wife cheat on him? Is she blind of something?

[@teeger66]

@1959Shay Absolutely and totally agree!!

[@tatongt]

He's so cute, smart, cool, handsome.

[@nganle-qk1qv]

I hate to say but in my opinion, he is more perfect than Mr.Darcy. More handsome, beautiful, charm, posh, cute, lovely, gentle.........

[@SkinnedLynryd]

@666brandohill1 Yes but none of the others ever piqued my interest. I only saw A Single Man by accident when it was on once late at night, then, I was thrilled to hear he was in The Kings Speech, only to watch it become best picture. I may have to go check out some of his older films when I get around to it... I really can't get over how much he makes you connect with his characters (even only having seen two of them lol).

[@EGlVM]

OMG I love the Insect play!

[@666brandohill1]

@SkinnedLynryd Where have you been Colin has been making films for years. Ever since the late 80s

[@sasaonfire]

I could hear his voice until I die

[@edithpalacio]

Es viejo esto. De ahora no hay nada

[@JungianHeights]

The Insect Play sounds like Metamorphosis by Kafka
