Colin Firth's painful festive memories
Last updated 22 December 2003
One celeb who perhaps isn't looking forward to Christmas as much as others is Colin Firth.
The 'Love Actually' star admits he still has nightmares about the big day because of a bad childhood experience:
"I remember electrocuting myself on the Christmas tree lights. I remember actually finding a socket and sticking my finger in it and lighting the Christmas tree up - literally."
"I can remember the pain involved in that. I've always associated Christmas tree lights with pain as a result of that."
"I also remember wondering why Santa Claus has such appalling teeth, and realising that this was my grandfather's attempt to disguise himself on his Santa visit."
"He'd got some horrible false teeth from somewhere!"
aw, sucks to be him...it's just kind of funny since most people don't associate christmas lights with pain :(
