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.

    For a few seconds, when I was feeling rather than thinking, I was just living for the fulfillment of this matter, and you have been here, it is a gift from God.

    This is clearly just the director showing his orientation, aesthetics, hobbies, taste and cleanliness...

A Single Man quotes

  • George: [last lines; voiceover] A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp. And the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

  • Carlos: No one has ever picked me up and not wanted something.

    George: I think you picked me up.
