Hollywood star Colin Firth has revealed he accepted to be a part of the hit 2014 film "Kingsman: The Secret Service" without even going through the script.
The 54-year-old actor, who starred in the Matthew Vaughn- directed action comedy, disclosed he took minimal persuasion to accept the part of Harry Hart, a veteran Kingsman agent, reported Contactmusic.
"I think one of the things that Matthew Vaughn seems to specialise in is taking everything he loves; he will pillage from things he grew up with knowing that we grew up with them too. And just from the point of view of an excited fan wants it partly as a homage.
"It is satirical, so he is sending it out without laying into it. By the time he is done with it, it just feels like it could only be him though, you know," said the Oscar-winning actor.
