So, after ten minutes of forcing myself to think of someone who doesn't play hockey, I've decided on someone who is popular right now and more than worthy of the honor.
Colin Firth
Claim to Fame: Actor (Pride and Prejudice, Love Actually, The King's Speech)
Birthday: September 10, 1960
For me, Colin Firth is the British George Clooney. He is classically handsome, hilarious, and an incredibly talented actor. He stole my heart as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. He re-stole it in Love Actually, as the English-speaking writer who falls in love with his Portuguese housekeeper. We got to hear him sing in Mamma Mia! He was nominated for an Academy Award last year for his role in A Single Man. Then, he won it this year for his portrayal of the stammering King George VI in The King's Speech.
Since we here at Man Meat Monday appreciate a humanitarian, I'm obligated to tell you that Colin is quite the human rights' activist. He supports Survival International, a non-governmental organization that defends tribal groups. He has also worked to stop the deportation of a group of people from the Democratic Republic of Congo seeking asylum.
On Friday, my favorite comedian, Bill Maher, made a new rule about Mr. Firth. He explained Colin's perfection so much better than I ever could. "New Rule: Colin Firth has to admit that he's not a human being, but a robot designed by women as the perfect man. He's handsome, charming, witty. He's got that accent and a gay best friend. The only way he could be any better is if he ejaculated Haagen-Dazs."
Random Tidbit: He is married to an Italian woman (Livia) and speaks the language fluently.
Only downfall?: He's married, has children, and we have a 27-year age difference. Love knows no age, right?
I very seriously contemplated posting a video of Colin doing a certain something-something to himself while in the bathtub from And When Did You Last See Your Father? Ultimately, I decided against it...because you might be at work or in class. If you want to see it (and I assure you - YOU DO), youtube search 'Colin Firth in tub.' Instead, here is Colin's perfect Golden Globe acceptance speech. Keepin' it classy.
So, readers: It's your turn. Would you drink Colin Firth's bath water?
