The BEST Of Olivia Colman On The Graham Norton Show

so Emirates day one had to finger me sort of avoid finding anything that you shouldn't have because it's sort of under the sheets like that and she said little bit worried about her weight that way I'm well I know I know it so I asked makeup Titan if they had a sponge and so I put Spanish there the fungus sponge it was a big wet Spanish picture just going up my leg and shoe it Olivia just where do you stand on the whole kit off thing I rather not yes that's a totally respectable choice in fact it might even be respectable was the audition where you went you had to dress all sexy oh yeah I mean it was very early on so maybe my third or fourth ever audition and I was going to see a really well-known well-respected theatre casting director and I was so excited and I had this script sent through and the character was quite a raunchy hooker so I bought some fishnets and I had a top as low as I dared and the short skirt and I wore a big duffle on the way there when I got there I took off what did you think about the character of Matilda or something and I was thinking don't think that was the character I was looking at that sort of half an hour sort of trying to pretend that I knew what she was talking about and then she realized I haven't got the same script that she had and passed over the real script which is about nuns [Applause] there was a slight road rage incident and you know those crossings whether absolutely I don't know if it's the same rules apply but they're not staggered they're straight cross road thing no idea what you're talking about right you have to turn in front of each other not behind each other on a staggered crossing no and you've got to go behind it yes okay so this one was coming towards me and wanted to go right her right and I was going right so I I turned to go in front of her and she and as if I had tried to drive into her and I thought okay well there's no one else coming in so just to keep her happy I'll do what's wrong but I'll go behind her and she was doing in the car and it was started to really piss me off cuz I was right and now is helping her out and then I suddenly got this red mist just as our cars were coming next to each other I said just as she was doing that red [Laughter] every the 14 Valentine's Day Olivia : what will you be doing on Valentine's Day oh I'll be watching film your film comes out oh my god hi pulling teeth okay wait cuz I thought you meant cuz it's a perm years before that so I'm actually watching on that day I thought you meant what would I be doing and I was thinking I'll be sitting with millions of others in a cinema watching my new film Cuban fury this is a human fury a new British comedy with yourself a Nick Frost could be you with a leg in the air now I can safely say later without fear of contradiction it is the best British based salsa rom-com no it's a really funny sweetville is it lovely film now who are you and I can't let you remember the name of my character [Laughter] laughs sex law is promoting absolutely didn't know who she was playing in the film it was finished it was in the cinema it was a long time after we'd before you came on a chat show [Music] I have no idea why this the also cause contractually no offense but we sort of asked to come and [Applause] doesn't one day to be here there great but I do wonder why they asked me to do it thinking she's never been one of my phone she's good and now how much preparation goes into well obviously put a nose on but what else goes on preparing for cowcatcher I should make up some but when you're playing it at something like a detective do you do like for broadchurch did you do preparation David did and I could ask him questions it seems silly doubling up to defend my actions I think my character spoken the same sort of rhythms as detectives so I thought it'd be better if I didn't have that influence well Nick Frost is the lead guy and he as a child I'm his sister and as children he was South's a champion and endless cups and awards and things and we used to go off and do competitions and as his dance partner and then something happened and his life changed and Sauza wasn't for him after that moment and then cut to Nick Frost present day or whatever his characters called and he's called Bruce [Applause] the names of people you film something yes Nelson Mandela we know you're not into big do you not it makes preparation but you must have had some down - yes - I was forced to because I had to dance on screen so I had to practice do you look good though well there is as you know they have people who actually can dance yeah who cuz I can only spin three times before I vomit so we do we do have a picture of you in rehearsals where it doesn't look like it's going that well ever like a full sweat suit and heels it's just amazing it's wonderful you know that that you know you're very successful in this country and much beloved but now you see kind of the world discovering you and but like but now you see you in things like Vogue and all these things doing high fashion shoots and stuff like is this what you dreamt of this very high at last no I love my job very much I love it I love going to work which is I know very lucky yeah yeah but the other stuff is a bit bad what do you have to do it do you have to kind of rock up you have to do it I think I've been sort of persuaded to do it I definitely know do you know if you have to do it yeah we don't have to do it but do they say but they person oh you have to yeah cuz like I don't know that I do but then suddenly find yourself it's important tries it yeah they say that yeah they do you say that a lot I said you had to do this right yeah even I've been told I have to do this this is genuinely one of the things that's really enjoyable to do [Applause] [Music]
