Can't remember if this has been posted or not...

[during press for Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan's latest film - Where the Truth Lies - starring Kevin Bacon, Colin Firth and Alison Lohman.]

[The Globe and Mail]

Obviously the Firth role was cast somewhat against type, and an Englishwoman asked if after being known as a "rather nice romantic hero," he minded playing "a pill-popping, oversexed bisexual."

"It's a role that's not really a stretch for most actors," Firth answered.

*Jay falls out*

ETA- and now my slashy wee brain pipes up to remind me that this is a man who has worked with Rupert Everett... *drools*

*sighs* Jess, hon... I'm gonna have to call a 'you're a lesbian' flag on this play. Colin Firth= teh hawt. And you know I'm not huge on guys who are all that very much older than I am. You've got decent 'straight cred' in general when it comes to seeing the pretty, but this once, it's letting you down. Don' worry though- I still love you. Here- you can look at this instead, and Janine and I'll keep Colin for ourselves.

*Agrees with Jess* He is pretty yuuurky.

What is wrong with y'all! See- this is when I need Janine here to back me up. *glares, swats*

He's weird looking. And a guy.

He is not weird looking. He is, however, a guy- I'll grant you that one. And you two do bend for the pretty fairly often, if it's Marton or Hugh Jackman anyway, so I'll let it go. THIS time.

Still - the quote is cool.

Yeah, the quoteage rawks. But he is weird looking.

*tries to justify, fails*

All right, I don't know where (or who) Janine is, but I've definitely got Jay's back here... Colin Firth is mad sexy in that "You only THINK I'm an uptight Englishman" kind of way.
