Colman: I won’t bare Ol

Olivia slaps down director as he asks her to do nude scene

ACTRESS Olivia Colman was asked to bare all for hit movie The Favourite but told the director: No wahey! The Broadchurch star piled on almost three stone to play stout Queen Anne in the 18th century comedy drama – but drew the line at going naked. Olivia, 44, was asked to go LIV-ID Olivia kept her clothes on nude for lesbian romps with co-star Emma Stone, 30.

Mum-of-two Olivia, who played DS Miller in ITV crime drama Broadchurch, said: “There wasn’t actual nudity. He (the director) asked and I said I abso- lutely won’t. There is no way. I think he said it would be great if everybody was able to. And I said, ‘No’. And he replied, ‘Right’.”

Olivia, who plays Queen Elizabeth in Netflix drama The Crown, has unpleasant memories of baring all in the low-budget film Confetti in 2006.

She described it as the worst experience of her life and claims she was betrayed by film-makers.

The Favourite is up for five Golden Globes, including best actress for Olivia. Co-star Emma had no such concerns about peeling off and admitted: “As we were shooting it, I said: ‘Can I please just be naked’?”
