Melbourne
(ANI):
British
actor
Colin
Firth
is
planning
to
take
a
hiatus
from
acting.
The
actor,
who
burned
himself
into
millions
of
female
memories
as
Jane
Austen's
moody
hero
Fitzwilliam
Darcy
in
the
BBC
series
Pride
and
Prejudice
has
a
clutch
of
new
films
that
will
be
released
soon.
And,
he
admits
that
he's
looking
forward
to
taking
a
year
long
break.
"I
just
think
I
would
like
to
do
other
things
for
a
while," The
Australian
quoted
him,
as
telling
Weekend
Australian
Magazine.
"I
would
like
to
not
act
for
a
little
while
and
it
would
be
very,
very
nice
to
take
a
long
breather.
A
year
off
would
be
great
but
it
probably
won't
last
that
long.
It's
precautionary,
really
it's
trying
to
know
when
it
is
time
to
let
things
go
fallow
for
a
bit
before
you
carry
on.
"I
spoke
to
Christopher
Walken
about
it
once
and
he
said
the
more
you
act
the
better
you
get.
I
said,
'Sometimes
I
want
a
year
off' and
he
said,
'That
is
nonsense
someone
is
going
to
give
you
a
year
off
when
you're
not
looking
for
it,
man.
So
maybe
I
am
being
a
bit
precious
but
I
think
it
is
important
to
just
stop
and
sort
of
sit
back
and
get
that
spark
back.
I
don't
want
to
have
a
year
just
sitting
around
on
my
arse,"
he
said.
The
actor
will
now
be
seen
as
a
less-than-ideal
romantic
interest
for
Helen
Hunt
in
'Then
She
Found
Me',
a
movie
in
which
the
Oscar
winning
actress
makes
her
directorial
debut.
