[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*

Well, I think it's a very cool quote. [snicker] And although I had to look Colin Firth up on IMDB to see who the heck he was, I think he's reasonably attractive. I've seen a few of his movies, but they were long enough ago that I don't remember him, specifically, in them. But the pic on his IMDB page isn't bad. He looks like a cuddly sort, you know?
