THE KING’S SPEECH: LOOKS AREN’T EVERYTHING
When a film deals with real characters, it’s always fun to compare the actors with the people they portrayed. The Hollywood Reporter dug up photos of the stars of “The King’s Speech” and it’s evident the actors weren’t cast with much regard for for their looks – Colin Firth bears scant resemblance to King George VI, Geoffrey Rush isn’t nearly as handsome as speech therapist Lionel Logue, but Helena Bonham Carter DOES manage to look a little like Queen Elizabeth.
