Colin Firth sick to death with Mr Darcy tag
February 18th, 2010 - 1:36 pm ICT by ANILondon, February 18 (ANI): Oscar nominee Colin Firth has confessed he is sick and tired of being repeatedly referred to as Mr. Darcy.
The British actor expressed his fury at being stuck with the name of the Pride and Prejudice character that he played 15 years ago.
“I’m not remotely interested in Pride and Prejudice in any way and haven’t watched it since doing it,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
“But the word Darcy is like a phantom that won’t leave me alone, like a school nickname that sticks with you for years afterwards.
“It was as if I hadn’t existed before Pride and Prejudice. I was hailed as a new arrival even tough I’d arrived ten years earlier,” he added. (ANI)
