Here is Colin Firth wearing a tragic mustache for a project with Kenneth Branagh. It's a WWI-era movie, which probably explains the facial hair.

Here is Colin Firth looking shlubby-cute in Fever Pitch, and me wishing he could later have starred in the American version opposite Drew Barrymore. Not that Jimmy Fallon was bad in it -- it was, in fact, the last time I liked Jimmy Fallon -- but just because everything is better with Firth.

Here is Colin Firth correctly identifying Meryl Streep (I assume; I feel like it's a safe bet he's not swaying, "Oh, look, it's TV's Joan Lunden!").

## 2010

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_1202970w-1599792024.jpg)

SURPRISE: Here is a GIANT STATUE OF COLIN FIRTH AS MR DARCY that was erected in Scarborough. There is nothing more amazing to me than this man just trying to do his thing on his boat (possibly his job) while a hulking fake Firth chills out with him.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_2662698f-1599792119.jpg)

Did no one think that Fake Firth might TERRIFY small children? It terrifies ME.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_3885836g-1599792129.jpg)

Here is Colin Firth wondering if some dink took his seat at Wimbledon, or if he's counting incorrectly.

And HERE, from a little over a week ago, is the giant Mr. Darcy cake. It was placed at the site where they shot Pemberley, but... to what end, I do not know. Is someone going to eat Mr. Darcy? I assume he's gone rotten by now, but please tell me someone nibbled on this man, even if he is no substitute for the real thing.

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/09/shutterstock_editorial_10764405e-1599792367.jpg)

He does not, to me, look like Colin Firth. But whom DOES he resemble? I think it's the half of his face on our left that's throwing me off. Oh well. Happy Birthday, Colin, and I hope someone sent you your own edible head.
