Colin Firth Hates Plastic Surgery For Actors But Would Get It Himself
Colin Firth was on BBC Radio 5 Live which is different from BBC Radio 4 Tape Delayed. He was asked what he thought about plastic surgery. I think he started to give one answer and realized he would probably tick off most of his actor friends and so then hedged on what he said so it appears he is both for and against something. Whatever it is, at least it gave me something to write about and having more Colin is always good for the site.
"Botox is a disaster for actors. "Your face is supposed to move if you're going to act," he said. "Why on earth would you take a violin and make the strings so they don't vibrate? Injecting something into your face so it's paralyzed, or cutting bits of it up so that you take any signs of life out of it is catastrophic if you're going to express yourself in any way at all."
Realizing that many of the people he work with probably have had Botox or some other form of plastic surgery, he then said, "I'd do it tomorrow if I thought it would look good, but I haven't seen anything that I think really works that well."
Huh? He really should be come a politician.

Colin Firth equals SWOON. Here's to his face moving forever.
Giving thanks that fall film season is here. With Colin in at least one pic scheduled for release - DORIAN GRAY and maybe two - A SINGLE MAN.
I'd need to see the transcript for the entire interview to conclude he was being contradictory, because what's included here makes it sound like he doesn't think it works at all.
I own Nanny McPhee because of him. I really like him.
Doesn't really sound like he's contradicting himself. He's saying he doesn't think it looks good, but IF he thought it would look good, he'd do it...
Heck, if I wasn't afraid of looking like a trout, I'd probably get my lips done. Then again, shelling out cash for filler injections? Yeah, guess I've got better things to spend my money on...
I love him in everything! Earnest, anyone?
I'm with you, linnea. Earnest!
I hated him in Circle of Friends, cause he was such a jerk. Then I've watched his other movies, and SWOON.
He makes no sense in this interview, but he's so damn cute that it's OK.
It doesn't seem like he's backtracking. Rather he says it's not good then says if it was good, he'd do it. Easy peasy.
What? Did Enty write something to go with this picture? I got distracted... Mmmmm, Colin Firth. :-)
I like him just the way he is :)
Can't wait for Bridget Jones #3

Yummy!!!
Colin really did it for me as Mr. Darcy. Other roles not as much. Please don't mess with a good thing, Colin.
Really, can there ever be too much Colin Firth in anyone's life? I think not...sigh :)
Love 5Live - it's the best use of the money the BBC leech from me every year.
I reckon he was probably having a bit of side dig at Rupert Everett..? yeh, I reckon, Rupert and a few others were targetted.
enty you listened to the people! <3
a colin post! i love you enty!
*sigh*
No... I get it. It doesn't work, but if it DID work, I'd do it. Or... sounds good in theory, but it doesn't work in real life.
A SEXY politician.
That gorgeous man better not touch anything with a scalpel or needle!!!
And early Happy Birthday to Colin - Number 49 .. and me for that matter .. tomorrow - September 10th!
Nice blog it is according to me Dallas plastic surgery-Center for Body Contouring, or liposuction, is a procedure that can give you quick, effective results. For Center for Body Contouring you not meant to replace diet and exercise, Here in Dallas plastic surgery-Center for Body Contouring, is a great solution for those areas of the body that resist exercise and other methods of fat reduction.

Why, yes, Colin, I would fancy a shag! My phone number is 555-1234.
LOL.. that's what I thought too when I read the interview. I think it's not an issue he's got his heart dead set against, it's probably just like an offhanded comment to him. But you know how the media got a hold of something, turn it into a headline and run away with it all the way to the moon. He said something again about it in the GMTV interview (uploaded at youtube).
Colin Firth is the best argument against plastic surgery ever. As he ages he gets hotter and hotter, and his acting is getting even better. He can show the most extraordinary things in his face. Yup, stay away from all that cosmetic hoo-ha.
