Colin Firth - will he save me?

3 years later - The akward Interview

I am finally happy again. Matilda and I moved to London 4 weeks ago. For both of us, it is a new beginning. As half a British woman, it wasn't hard for me to get used to it. Surprisingly, Matilda also felt right at home. No wonder - we have found a wonderful house. Far too big for us. But it immediately felt like home. Matilda's best friend also lives next door.

She is Christoph Waltz's daughter. He was the one who finally persuaded me to film again. It was my first film after Paul's death. I put all my heart and soul into this role. And my character - Rose - reflects part of my destiny. I didn't care if this film was successful. I wanted to tell my story with it. He became. I'm nominated again for an Oscar, this time for Best Actress in a leading role. The same applies to BAFTA.

So I'm standing here now and I'm supposed to choose a dress. My manager, thank God, made a preselection. I myself am far too nervous. It's my first appearance on the red carpet in so long. I opt for a beautiful red long dress by Armani. Although it is a bit narrow at the bottom, climbing steps will not be easy. But somehow it will work. 

But first I have to go to Graham Norton tonight. I appear on his talk show to talk with Christoph Waltz and Emma Thompson about our planned joint film. I haven't been on British talk shows many times and I'm very excited about what to expect.

Ok - I still don't know what to think of tonight. I rarely laughed as much as I did in this show. On the other hand, it also leaves me a little perplexed. So what had happened.

Graham let us do a little quiz. Each of us had 10 seconds to reply. After Emma - brilliant as always with her answers - has answered Christoph in his emphatically dry humour, so it was my turn.

Graham: Austrian or British breakfast? Me: Austrian
G: why? Me: because British breakfast is actually lunch!?
G: Drama or comedy? Me: play drama, see comedy.
G: Jogging or yoga? Me: Jogging!
G: Singing or dancing? Me: both.
G: Your favorite piece by Jane Austen? Me: Emma
G: Your favorite version of Pride and Prejudice? Me: the BBC's of course!
G: Your dearest Mr. Darcy? Me: Colin Firth no question!
G: Your favorite film with Colin? Me: puh, maybe the King's Speech.
G: Do you think Colin would be a great King? Me: well, he was in the Film, don't think he would want to be in real life.
G: Can you explain why women have a dreamy look when they talk about Colin? Me: um, maybe you should ask him that yourself.
G: Can you understand it? Me: what?
G: the dreamy look? Me: well, he looks very good.
G: In what role would you like to see him? Me: that's a lot of questions about Colin Firth right now?
G: Did you know that there was a recent survey and people want you and Colin to make a movie together? Me: really?
G: Yes, what kind of film would you like to make? Me: an action movie a la Kingsman.
G: not a romantic love comedy? Me: what?

If this show had the purpose of letting Colin Firth penetrate my subconscious, I have to say that this purpose was fully fulfilled. Funnily enough, Colin and I have never met. No award show, no premiere, no gala. Hm, kind of weird. And suddenly I spend an evening thinking a lot about this man. To be fair, I'm a fan of him, not to say I've been raving about him since I saw him as Mr. Darcy. Actually, I prefer blonde men, with blue eyes. But Colin - well, maybe it's the choice of his roles. He implies the British gentleman. But who knows what he really is. Actors often have terrible neuroses. Although he actually seems very sympathetic. humph..
 Why am I even worried about this man? As far as rumours are to be believed, he is still recovering from the separation from his wife Livia. So I can well imagine what it looks like in him right now. OK - enough thoughts now about Mr. Firth. If I don't fall asleep soon, I'll walk the red carpet tomorrow with deep eye rings.
