Beginning his acting career a few decades ago, English actor Colin Firth is now a well-established actor who has received numerous prominent awards, including an Academy Award. He has starred in several successful movies and TV series, including Shakespeare in Love, Mamma Mia!, 1917, The King's Speech, and Mary Poppins Returns.
Just like how Colin captured the hearts of many, his son, Matteo Firth, is on the way to doing the same but with a musical approach. Matteo is an aspiring musician who plays the drums for the musical band Strange Child. If you want to know more about the young Firth, stick with us until the end of this biography as we learn about Matteo's personal life and professional career.
Is The Youngest Child
The drummer was born in August 2003 in the region of Umbria in Italy and is the youngest kid of the renowned actor and his ex-wife, Livia Giuggioli. His mom is a well-known Italian film producer, recognized for her work in The True Cost, In Prison My Whole Life, and Amá. Before his arrival into the world, Matteo Firth's parents had welcomed a baby boy, Luca Firth, into their family.
The Firth siblings are only two years apart, with Luca being born on March 29, 2001. Both of them are blessed with musical talent, as Matteo Firth's brother is also an aspiring indie folk singer, songwriter, musician, and artist. The duo also uploaded a video of them covering Billie Jean by Michael Jackson back in 2011. Unfortunately, their mother and father are no longer together. Colin and Livia met when both of them were working on the series Nostromo. They married in 1997, and after staying together for almost 22 years, the former pair divorced in 2019.
Anyway, Matteo and Luca have an older half-brother, William Joseph Firth, who is older than them by over ten years. Willam, also known as Will Firth, was born to Colin Firth and the well-known actress Meg Tilly on September 20, 1990. Despite having a huge age difference, all of them have a close bond. Will is also involved in the entertainment industry as an actor, just like papa Firth.
As for the drummer's educational background, regrettably, it is unknown where he completed his high school studies from. Likewise, there is no information regarding his higher studies.
What Is Matteo Famous For?
The Umbria native started his musical journey with the band Strange Child in 2015. As he is still young and considering that it hasn't been long since he started his music career, he is yet to gain world fame and make a name for himself in the music industry. At the current time, Matteo is known to the public as Colin Firth's son.
Meanwhile, the Oscar-winning actor rose to fame after his breakthrough role as Mark Darcy, aka Mr. Darcy, in the 1995 TV series adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, originally written by Jane Austen. Since then, Matteo Firth's father has starred in several hit projects, playing more prominent roles. Many of his projects include The Staircase, The Secret Garden, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and many more.
Moreover, the 1917 star has even earned the title of CBE and has bagged numerous awards. Hopefully, Matteo Firth will also rise to prominence just like his dad in the soon future.
Matteo Joined The Band At 12
As already mentioned above, the 2003-born musician joined the band Strange Child in 2015 when he was only 12 years old. Formed in 2015, the musical group is a four-piece indie band based in Chiswick with influences of soul, funk, and jazz. It consists of Max Park as vocalist and bassist, Stanley Fleet as lead guitarist, Harry Smith as rhythm guitarist, and Matteo Firth on the drums.

Strange Child play at various venues in Chiswick, The Basement Door in Richmond, and the Half Moon in Putney on a regular basis. They perform their own compositions as well as a mixture of covers in their own style. They have performed at the Hanwell Hootie, one of the largest rock music festivals in London, since 2017. Their performances in 2018 included a slot on the Platform One Stage at the Isle of Wight Festival in June. Furthermore, the same year, they supported another British rock band, Alexis Kings, at the O2 Academy Islington.
Matteo must have earned some amount of money for these gigs and other performances. A musician in the UK earns about $22,752.89 (£19,365) annually on average. Hence, Livia Giuggioli's son must make a considerable amount within the range. Well, since his career has only spanned over a few years, his income will surely increase in the days ahead. While it will take him a long while to reach the level of his dad's fame and riches, we don't doubt that he will someday catch up to Colin.
Meanwhile, Colin Firth has a fortune worth $25 million. Hopefully, Matteo Firth's net worth will match that of his old man in the upcoming days.
Is Matteo Firth Dating Anyone?
It is difficult to comment as the drummer appears to be a person of privacy. Due to this reason, he has not revealed anything regarding his love life and past relationships. In addition, he doesn't have any social media accounts except for a private Instagram handle. However, we can see that his profile picture on his IG is that of a girl kissing him on the cheek. It is hard to identify the young women in the picture. Could she be Matteo Firth's girlfriend?
Well, we wouldn't know unless the young man speaks out about it. Hopefully, he will disclose more information regarding his personal life and relationship status soon. Nonetheless, Matteo appears to be leading a great and happy life with his loved ones. We wish him more fame and fortune in the future.
