Colin Firth has revealed that his life hasn't changed since he won the Oscar at the beginning of the year.
Firth picked up the Best actor gong for his role in The King's Speech, a year after he received his first nomination for A Single Man.
But the Brit actor reveals that nothing has changed.
Speaking to USA Today the actor said: "I get more phone messages. That's about it, really. Whatever else you may be asked to do, you can't do all of it.
"You choose the people around you for what you're looking for in certain ways. My wife doesn't take any crap. We go back quite a ways now.
"None of my friends take me particularly seriously. My life is founded fairly solidly in what I have outside this profession.
"You come back quite dizzy from awards season, and it's quite good to have something solid to come back to."
Firth followed up the award winning performance with another great turn in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - joining an ensemble cast that of Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch.
He will next be seen on the big screen in a remake of Gambit. He is currently filming Arthur Newman, Golf Pro.
