I'm not a pin-up, thankfully. I'm not suggesting I feel unconfident. I am beautiful to my husband. I am beautiful to my friends. I feel sexy and all those things with the people I love. Olivia Colman beautifulfeelfriend Change image and share on social
I suppose I have played a lot of put-upon women, but it's never bothered me. They've never been weak - they've always got steel in them. Olivia Colman botherhavelot Change image and share on social

I love my job and I know I am very lucky but still, if you audition and you don't get it, it still affects you. Olivia Colman affectauditionjob Change image and share on social
I eat a bit too much; my teeth aren't perfect; I've got eye bags. I look like a normal 39-year-old woman - but in England, no one minds that. Olivia Colman bagbiteeat Change image and share on social
