Colin Firth Believes it’s Hard Being Beautiful

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Colin Firth says being good-looking is a hindrance in modern society. The Oscar-winning actor - who is a sex symbol for many women - believes beautiful people are often dismissed as being vacuous and stupid by others just as much as they are celebrated for their attractiveness. Colin thinks the stereotype leads to beautiful people having to work extra hard to earn respect for their intellect.

"There was a time when a beautiful person was considered something fine and to be celebrated. Now a beautiful person is assumed to be shallow and flaky. If you are beautiful in today's society, you are presumed to have no substance. I think a lot of talented and very bright people who are also physically beautiful have to work very hard if they don't want to just lean on their looks ... I think someone that has the mind of a professor and also looks like they're in Baywatch would just p**s people off because they don't want them to have all of that."
