Birth Name: Colin Firth

Birth Place: Grayshott, Hampshire, England, UK

Height: 6'1''

Why he is a Golden Beau: Mr. Firth has been around for a while, but his turn as Mr. Darcy ensured that he would have no shortage of female admirers in the future. In my humble opinion, he is only getting better with age.
