Even though British actor Colin Firth did not take home the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama for his role in Tom Ford’s A Single Man, he still went home a winner. He was photographed alongside his statuesque bride Livia Giuggioli during The Weinstein Company Golden Globes after Party held at BAR 210 at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 17, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California.
Firth recently spoke about all the obstacles he had to go through to be accepted into Livia’s family when he first courted her.
He said: “When I first met my wife’s family, I’d shown up as this very, very dodgy commodity, attached to their darling daughter. When we got together, she told them, ‘I’ve got this English chap now’ – one strike against me.
‘He’s an actor – hmmm, oh, dear. ‘He’s nearly 10 years older’ – oh, boy.
‘And he’s got a kid with someone else.’ I had a mountain to climb to win everyone over.”
He indeed overcame her family with his obvious charm and good heart. The couple married in 1997 and have two sons, Luca, eight, and six-year-old Matteo.
They make a very handsome couple and are both winners everyday.
