1 Miss FIFA of this year's World Cup in South Africa, and the Swedish beauty supermodel Victoria Silvstedt (Victoria-Sisterd) participated in the audition of "Single Man" in 2009.

2 At first, Colin Firth had no schedule, but the film adjusted his shooting plan for him. When the British Oscar (BAFTA) awarded him the Best Actor Award on February 21, 2010, Colin Firth mentioned that he had planned to abandon the film, and even the rejection email to director Tom Ford was lying in his outbox. To be issued. But a mechanic came to repair the refrigerator for him, during which Colin made a new decision. He especially thanked the "refrigerator man" in his award speech.

3 Tom Ford mentioned that Kenny’s role was meant to be given to a more famous actor (E! Online confirmed that the actor was Jamie Bell, who moved Europe with his debut "Billy Elliot"), but 5 days before the shooting, Jamie Bell still did not catch up. Go to the crew to try on costumes. Only then did Ford pull out Nicholas Hoult's audition tape to reconsider him.

4 In the film, Jim's cousin Hank Acherley, who has only voice and no picture, is voiced by Jon Hamm, the leading actor in the famous American drama "Mad Men". Jon Hamm won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series with Mad Men.

5 Don Bachardy, the same-sex partner of the original author, Christopher Isherwood, shows his face in the film. When Colin Firth walked into the English department office, Don Bachardy was sitting on the sofa with a pair of lucky red socks on his feet, which belonged to Isherwood himself. In addition, as a famous artist and painter, a large-scale painting by Bachardy appeared on the wall of Charlie's supporting actress.

6 In the original work, George only appears first name, not last name. Tom Ford completes the name in the script: George Carlyle Falconer. Among them, Carlyle is Tom Ford's middle surname, and Falconer is Tom Ford's first love, the surname of illustrator Ian Falconer, and the brand name of the sunglasses produced by Tom Ford's company.

In the 7 film, Nicholas Hoult used Sean Talor as a stand-in for the nude swimming part of Nicholas Hoult, so the final crew list indicated the existence of Body Double in the role of Kenny.

A Single Man quotes

  • George: It takes time in the morning for me to become George, time to adjust to what is expected of George and how he is to behave. By the time I have dressed and put the final layer of polish on the now slightly stiff but quite perfect George I know fully what part I'm supposed to play.

  • George: For the first time in my life I can't see my future. Every day goes by in a haze, but today I have decided will be different.
