Fitzwilliam Darcy
- Has fled England, broken-hearted, after Elizabeth’s harsh rebuff of his proposal at Rosings
- Returns after two years abroad, thinking he is a changed man, no longer arrogant, conceited, or selfishly disdainful of the feelings of others
- Remains obsessed with love and desire for Elizabeth
- Possesses a fierce need to protect Elizabeth, and
- Still has a lot to learn about himself.
Colin Firth is and always will be my Mr. Darcy! He smolders with unrequited passion, revealing supposedly hidden feelings with a simple air or expression. He carries himself as Darcy would―strong, confident, and manly. He’s gorgeous, and then, there’s that British accent. What can I say? When I write about Darcy, Colin Firth appears.

Jan: I always picture Colin’s Darcy when I read your stories. We are on the same page!
Jan Hahn
Glad to hear that, SeldomKate!
Stephanie
I’ve actually never read this. Will definitely add it to my list 🙂
Jan Hahn
Wonderful! Thank you so much, Stephanie, and hope you like the book.
Regina
Love your books, Jann, and Colin Firth is ALWAYS my go to for Fitzwilliam Darcy. No one does it better!
Jan Hahn
Ah, Regina, now I’m hearing Carly Simon singing our song! Thanks so much for your comments.
Suzan Lauder
I love this promotion! I can’t enter, but I don’t care. My reasons are to see all 12 of the Darcys picked by the Meryton Press authors. Sigh. Colin.
Jan Hahn
Me, too, Suzan! Can’t wait to see the photos of our favorite Darcys. They’re all scrumptious!
Jeannine
I look forward to buying any book by Jan Hahn., Colin Firth is a gorgeous Darcy.
Jan Hahn
Oh, Jeannine, you’re so kind! And, may I say, you have excellent taste in Darcys.
Megan Wilkins
Matthew Macfadyen is Mr. Darcy to me! This book is going in my tbr pile!
Jan Hahn
MM is a fantastic actor and his Darcy in the rain gives me goosebumps. Thanks for commenting and hope you enjoy my new book.
Linda Beutler
Congratulations on a new title forthcoming, Jan! I always love your stories! And I agree completely about Colin Firth.
Jan Hahn
Thanks, Linda!
Maura
Colin Firth is always the image in my mind when ever imagining Darcy. I think Jan Hahn is a terrific writer and I am looking forward to the new book!
Jan Hahn
Thank you so much, Maura! I’ve enjoyed almost all the actors I’ve seen portray Darcy, but when I escape into my writing world, Colin’s mannerisms, walk, and looks take over.
Jessie
Congratulations on your new title, Jan! And Colin Firth gave my favourite performance of Darcy of all the versions I’ve watched 🙂
Jan Hahn
Thank you, Jessie!
Audrey Ryan
I’m excited to read your new release when it comes out! For me like many others, Colin is my first and favorite Darcy. It’s all in the “heart eyes”. Swoon!
Jan Hahn
I agree, Audrey. Colin shows his feelings in his eyes just like I imagine Darcy would.
Claudine
I love anything that Jan Hahn writes and I have heard this upcoming story is amazing!!
Colin Firth will always be my Mr. Darcy!
Thanks for sharing this post!!
Jan Hahn
Thank you, Claudine! Such kind comments about my forthcoming book! And not surprised you appreciate CF as Mr. Darcy. 😉
Margie Darcy
I love both Matthew and Colin although I would love a reboot of Mr. Darcy ala Henry Cavill. 🙂
Meryton Press
If you’ve ever read Boots & Backpacks by KC Kahler, Henry is definitely the inspiration for that Darcy.
Jan Hahn
Thanks for your comments, Margie! Good to see you’re an equal opportunity Darcy lover. Believe me, I’d be first in line to see a new movie with Henry Cavil as Darcy. Well, maybe not first in line. I know someone else who will reserve that place. 😏
Chelsea
Colin Firth was the first on screen Darcy I saw and he played the role perfectly! He will always be who I picture as Mr. Darcy.
Jan Hahn
You and me both, Chelsea!
Jeanna Massman
I love this picture. My favorite Mr. Darcy!
Jan Hahn
Isn’t it cool! Jennifer Ehle is with him in the original photo, but I stole him away for this post.
BeckyC
Colin Firth was my first and will always be my Darcy, however….would love to see a Richard Armitage version!
Jan Hahn
Ooh, RA is a favorite of mine, too, Becky!
Janet T
Colin Firth is who I see when reading anything about Darcy. He will always be Mr. Darcy to me. As you mention, he can say so much with his mannerisms, his eyes, and a simple movement. Good choice for a picture! Looking forward to the release of ‘The Child’.
Jan Hahn
Thanks, Janet. I know how hard it is for you to type right now. Thanks so much for commenting.
Meredith (Austenesque Reviews)
I’m such a fan of Jan’s writing and her Darcy’s are especially swoon-worthy! Loving the sound of this upcoming release! Thank you for sharing! I really do love Colin Firth as Darcy, I’m not sure if he is m quintessential Darcy, but I love his confidence, integrity, and honor – I think Colin Firth exudes those traits very well.
Jan Hahn
Oh, thank you for those kind comments, Meredith! I love Darcy’s confidence, integrity, and honor, too. He’s just a good man.
Dung
Colin Firth definitely is my go to Darcy. Love your work! Looking forward to reading your upcoming release.
Jan Hahn
Thank you, Dung!
Jami
Oh, how can we not swoon with Colin Firth as the perfect incarnation of Darcy? He plays the role so beautifully and all through subtle nuances and, of course, those feeling eyes!
Yay about a new book. I’ve love love loved all the others.
Jan Hahn
Oh, Jami, you and I are on the same page about our Darcy! Thank you so much for loving my books. You’ve made my day!
MissLaurie
Colin Firth really will always be the golden standard 🙂
Jan Hahn
What a great way to put it, MissLaurie!
Judy pociask
Matthew McFadden often appears in my head while reading a story, unless Darcy is really stuffy then it’s Colin Firth.
P.s. I have been hunting for your book, The Child for a while now. I hope it will be availability on Amazon soon.
Thanks so much for sharing your stories with the world. They take me away for a short time when my life gets to be too much.
Jan Hahn
Thank you so much, Judy! The Child is in edits right now and is scheduled to be published by Meryton Press in early spring. I think a lot of us read to escape life when it gets to be too much, and I agree: Colin Firth does stuffy quite well. 😆
Barbara Thompson
Jan, there is just no other Darcy for me. When I read authors who write that Darcy has blue eyes, I have to always change it to brown in my mind. Luckily for me, when I read your stories, it is always the right Darcy.
