Oscar-winnerOlivia Colmanmay have played the Queen of England, but she has also considered sending “anonymous” poo to some of her critics. In a revealing section of her interview with Josh Horowitz for hisHappy Sad Confusedpodcast, the actress explained how one of her children gave her the idea, and she actually Google’d it to see if it was possible.
Wicked Little Letters
Olivia Colman is one of the world’s most versatile actresses, but even the most lauded stars can get a bad review occasionally. Different people react to this kind of thing in different ways, and while Colman may seem like an exemplary Brit that would never do anything as outrageous and react by sending feces to a critic that annoyed her, the thought had crossed her mind in the past. When asked by Horowitz whether she had ever been tempted to send a letter to a critic of her work, the actress made the admission that she had almost taken things one step further than just a strong set of words. She said:
“Well, I’ve been tempted to send anonymous poo to a critic. I was so cross about two critics, and it was one of my kids who went apparently you’re able to send poo. I went, oh? The part of the, you know, the sort of catharsis of just getting over it was just looking it up, going oh, yes you can.”
Although Colman did not evidently go through with the act, it seems that there is now a sense of the idea being out there in the world, meaning that those critics who enjoy delivering a harsh word or two in their reviews should maybe watch out for squishy packages in the future.
