BAFTA Colin Firth The Daily Star The King's Speech

According to a rapidly spreading rumor, Colin Firth enjoyed his BAFTA win for “The King’s Speech” a little too much over the weekend.

The Daily Star reports that “King of Boozers” Firth “drank so much champagne” at the event, he “left his iconic award on the bar as he staggered off home.”

Firth’s “minder” then allegedly had to run back and get it.

A number of outlets, including PopEater and OK!, picked up the story of the forgotten BAFTA statuette… but forgot to find out whether it was accurate.

A rep for the actor tells Gossip Cop the report is simply “not true.”

In all fairness, it’s not like the Daily Star has a ton of experience taking home trophies.
