Happy birthday,Colin Firth!
The British actor turns 61 on Friday, and his ex-wife Livia Firth is celebrating with a silly picture of him.
The post shows Colin wearing a rainbow-feathered coat, a head covering and colorful glasses.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN,” Liviawrote, adding rainbow emojis to match his colorful outfit in the shot. The look comes from when Firth stole the Elton John costume while filmingKingsman: The Golden Service, Livia explained last year when she shared the picture for the first time. The singer had a cameo in the 2017 sequel.
Colin and Liviaannounced their plans to separatein December 2019 after 22 years of marriage. The former couple share sons Luca, 19, and Matteo, 17.
“They maintain a close friendship and remain united in their love for their children,” a rep said at the time.

Last year, Livia called Colin “the best partner in crime” while celebrating his 60th birthday.
“happy birthday to the best partner in crime ever (for the last 25 years and counting) 🦋🌈,” she continued. “(this is when Colin stole Elton John costume on theKingsmenset … 😂)” Livia wrote.
Their split announcement came almost two years after the pair revealed that Liviahad a relationshipwith another man, Italian journalist Marco Brancaccia, while they were briefly separated.

Livia accused Brancaccia of stalking her after their 11-month relationship ended in 2016 and, together with Firth, sued him in an Italian court for carrying out a “campaign of harassment.” (Brancaccia denied the accusations, and the case wassettled out of courtin July 2018.)
The amicable exes appeared to have remained close despite announcing their split last year, with Colin and Liviaringing in 2020 togetherin a New Year’s Eve photo shared on Instagram.
