Colin Firth & Emily Blunt Go American in the 'Arthur Newman' Trailer by Ethan Anderton March 27, 2013 Source: EW (FIRST SHOWINGS)

Sometimes people fake their own deaths to escape danger. In the case of Arthur Newman, he's just escaping his disappointment of a life. Colin Firth plays a has-been golfer who fakes his death, abandons his family, and takes on the new titular identity. On the path to his new life, he encounters a young woman (Emily Blunt) who's running from problems of her own. The two fall in love as they take solace in pretending to be married, or engaged or whatever feels right, seemingly living the dream. But they can't pretend forever. It's strange to hear Firth as an American, but he works well with Blunt in this first trailer.

Here's the first trailer for Dante Ariola's Arthur Newman, originally from EW:

Colin Firth has played in a plethora of different roles and always seems to be lucky enough to star amongst the greatest actresses in Hollywood. Here are a few of our favourite Firth on-screen romances!

- Renee Zellweger - Bridget Jones's Diary

Colin Firth’s most famous on screen romance is in the hilarious British romantic comedy, Bridget Jones's Diary starring Oscar winner and Oscar nominated (for her part in this role) Renee Zellweger.

Bridget Jones's Diary follows Zellweger’s character Bridget Jones as she falls in love with her boss (played by Hugh Grant) who is ex-friends with family friend (played by Colin Firth).

Her boss’s playboy attitude makes their relationship not work in the end but her relationship with Firth proves opposites attract and that it is for the best. They both deliver an excellent and hilarious performance.
