Rom-com favourite Firth, 63, played Jamie in "Love Actually" who, after finding his wife cheating on him with his brother, retreats to his French cottage and falls in love with the Portugese housekeeper, Aurélia, who does not speak English.
Fresh from his role as Mark Darcy in "Bridget Jones", he reprised the character for the two follow-up movies after "Love Actually". He went onto star in iconic films "Mamma Mia" and "Mamma Mia Here We Go Again" as Harry Bright, and gained critical acclaim for his acting in "A Single Man" and "The King's Speech", the latter of which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2010. The dad-of-three recently starred in "The Staircase", a true-crime miniseries, alongside Toni Collette and Sophie Turner.
