Colin Firth appeared a shadow of his former self as he showed off a slimmed-down look at the 'Devil's Knot' film premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
His weight loss is all in the name of art though - he shed the pounds to play a prisoner of war in Second World War film 'The Railway Man'.

The film, scheduled to be released in Britain in January, sees Firth play Eric Lomax, a real-life railway enthusiast from Scotland, still struggling to cope with his previous brutal treatment when incarcerated in Burma. A young Lomax is played by Jeremy Irvine.
Eric's wife Patti Lomax is played in the film by Nicole Kidman.
