Colin Firth: So why has Mr Darcy gone on a diet? Actor sheds the pounds (DAILY MAIL)
After his turn as Mr Darcy, Colin Firth’s fans were, to put it delicately, rather eager to relieve him of that wet shirt.
These days, however, they are more likely to want to sit him down for a proper home-cooked meal.
The Oscar-winning actor, 52, seemed far slimmer than usual as he attended a launch party thrown by designer Tom Ford in Mayfair, with his face and neck looking a little gaunt.

Firth, who looked smart in a suit and black-framed glasses, has shed pounds to play a prisoner of war in upcoming film The Railway Man.
