- Colin Firth wants to become Italian. Academy Award-winning star Colin Firth wants to become Italian. The 56-year-old actor has applied to the Italian embassy in London for citizenship following the United Kingdom’s decision in 2016 to leave the European Union, which is commonly referred to as Brexit. A source told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Colin was horrified by Brexit and is worried about the consequences.” The Oscar-winning actor is married to Italian film producer Livia Giuggioli and Colin speaks her mother tongue fluently. Colin – who has children Luca, 16, and Matteo, 13 – currently lives in London with his wife, but has previously criticised the decision to leave the European Union following a referendum last year. Speaking to an Austrian newspaper, Colin said: “For me this is a disaster of unexpected proportions. Brexit does not have a single positive aspect.”
