I was delighted to become a popular-culture reference point. I'm still delighted about it actually, and I still find it to be weird.
Colin FirthI don't know if this qualifies as gentle reassurance, but right now this is all that stands between me and a Harley-Davidson.
Colin FirthI find that at almost every press junket I get that comment, "this character's different from what you generally play..." And that's OK! But I think "generally play" stems back to Mr Darcy. I'm fine with it but I tend to find that if it's a departure, which in other people's words it always is, it's always a departure from that.
