On Sunday Firth spent time mentoring an exclusive group of Brisbane actors in a Q&A session with actress Sigrid Thornton at the Cremorne Theatre, QPAC.
Sunshine Coast actress Meisha Lowe won a ticket to the event after applying through Actors Equity.
Lowe told Confidential Firth labelled his role in The Railway Man "emotionally challenging."
She said Firth told the audience he decided as a 14-year-old he wanted to be an actor and still "wondered when he should grow up and get a real job".
Following the Q&A, Firth, Thornton, director Chris Brown and a group of friends dined at Italian restaurant Tartufo at Emporium in Fortitude Valley, a haunt often frequented by celebrities.
Tartufo owner Tony Percuoco has met Ethan Hawke, Kate Hudson and Michael Buble at his restaurants but Mr Darcy had him "starstruck".
Living up to his sex-symbol status, Percuoco told Confidential Firth was without his Italian-born wife but spoke perfect Italian to the waitresses.
"Very rarely do I get starstruck but last night he had the whole persona. He spoke Italian perfectly."
