Star says shots of her handsome colleagues make women jealous
GRANTCHESTER actress Morven Christie has told how middle-aged women “develop an immediate hatred” for her when she posts images on social media of her handsome co-stars.
The Scottish star, 35, accused female social media users of being “creepy” online.
Christie had showed off a snap of her Grantchester co-star James Norton, 31.
Christie told the Radio Times she was only trolled when she had worked “with quite well-known men, who middle-aged women really fancy”.
“They develop an immedi- ate hatred for you and your character,” she said.
Talking about working with Norton, she said: “It’s amazing. We were on set on Grantchester, and James was talking about selfies. I put a picture of him on Instagram, and the comments underneath... ‘Oh, what lovely long fingers he’s got’. ‘Why are you photographing him, you harridan?’
“That’s the amazing thing about social media, the creepiness of women.”
Christie added: “One of the things that shocked me, when I was playing Alison... was the judgment of mothers on other mothers,” she said.
“It’s so under-the-skin nasty. I think it comes from the fact that there’s maybe nothing quite like motherhood to make a woman feel that she’s failing.”
