LONDON - Hollywood actor Colin Firth has admitted he is not a fan of the royal family because he has a problem with unelected bodies.

The actor is nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of stuttering King George VI in acclaimed royal drama “The King’s Speech”, while he also won a Golden Globe award for the role earlier this month, reports dailystar.co.uk.

Firth recently admitted he had little knowledge of the story of the troubled monarch before taking on the job, as he is “not a royal watcher” and now he concedes the concept of the royal family makes him uncomfortable.

“I think they seem very nice… I really like voting. It’s one of my favourite things,” he said.

“The problem for me is… unelected bodies,” he added.
