Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush were guests featured on Piers Morgan Tonight.  Colin was in the studio with Piers and Geoffrey was on via satellite from his home in  Australia, and Helena was in London.   Colin was on first in a one-to-on interview with Piers Morgan. Colin, who is 50 has been in more than 30 feature films. When asked what was his favorite, he said, The King's Speech and the Tom Ford film, Single Man. He said, 'the rich pickings are the films that have characters who have problems.' He would not give an answer when asked what was the biggest turkey of a film that he worked on.  He explained, 'since I  am friends with many of the people who are involved with a film, all the way from writers to producers that it is not fair to complain about a project.' Colin has acted with Scarlet Johannson, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson to name a few of the hottest  names in Hollywood.  When asked what is it like to make love to a beautiful actress,  Colin stated, 'it is an odd experience. '  Mr Firth is married for 15 years to who is an Italian producer, and has 2 children. He said that 'the secret to a good Hollywood  marriage is to communicate on a daily basis and spend  a lot a time together.' As for his kids and going into acting, he thinks that' it is OK it is a precarious business.  You need a back up career and then you are OK.'
Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter joined the discussion, and it was clear that the three enjoyed working together.  Geoffrey Rush was the executive producer of The Kings Speech as well as actor in the film. Helena worked on the Harry Potter film at the same time as the Kings Speech.  All three were nominated for an Oscar. Helena said, 'no one would not want to win that statute. '   If Colin Firth wins, Bonham said, the acceptance speech should dedicate it to her since Colin knows that the king cannot be a king without the queen.
