Colin Firth's Leading Ladies (FEMALE FIRST)

To celebrate the release of Gambit starring Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, and Alan Rickman out on DVD and Blu-Ray 4 March 2013 courtesy of Momentum Pictures we are going to examine the on-screen romances of Colin Firth and the most powerful women in Hollywood who Firth has co-starred next too.

Gambit follows Harry Deane (Firth) an Art curator for media tycoon Lord Lionel Shahbandar (Rickman). In a devious plan to con his boss Deane partners with the beautiful rodeo star PJ Puznowski (Diaz) but things go awry when Lord Lionel Shahbandar begins to fall for Puznowski.

Watch the brilliant performances by Firth and Diaz in this deceitful, lovely, charming comedy.

Cameron Diaz is not the first beautiful woman to star along Colin Firth.

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.

And that wasn’t his only pain as he continued with the story adding: ‘Cameron Diaz, being the kind and sweet and supportive colleague she was, assured me there was nothing to worry about with my legs, and they were magnificent specimens. Actually, she burst into a spontaneous belly laugh!’
With friends like Cameron who needs enemies…

To which the A-lister felt the need to defend herself so Cameron told us: ‘I think I pointed when I was laughing, at your knees particularly!’
