Colin Farrell Once again Mistakes Himself for Colin Firth at Recent Awards Bash

Colin Firth being Henry VIII

In a scene that was cut from television footage of the ceremony, Colin Farrell committed another serious media boo-boo by bounding on stage at the Golden Globes to collect Colin Firth's award for feature length Tourist Information Centre promo The Kings Speech. "Both of our names are Colin" apologised Farrell  on stage "It's not a huge mistake to make."

It's not the first time Colin Farrell has managed to mistake himself for the Bridget Jones 2: The Edge of Reason star. In 2008, Farrell turned up on the set of Michael Winterbottom's unremarkable Genova and insisted that he was there to play the part of Joe, even going so far as to introduce himself to a bemused cast and crew before Firth showed up to set things straight. "Both of our names are Colin and both of our surnames start with an F" Farrell continued after the awards ceremony. "We both have names that start very similarly. Also we are both actors so we move in the same circles so to speak"

Firth was mostly untroubled by the mix up but later commented "Farrell has two syllables and Firth has one, it's not a case of mishearing - they have microphones so it's not mishearing." Does Firth suspect that Farrell is doing this on purpose? "No"

Commentators await the Oscars to see whether Farrell will once again mistake himself for Firth or whether Firth will purposefully mistake himself for Farrell to even things out.
