It’s fair to say Olivia Colman has become somewhat of a national treasure.
The actress has a career that spans two decades – with Olivia shooting to fame thanks to her role in Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show in the 2000s. Fast forward to now, and she has starred in countless movies and bagged endless awards, including an Oscar and BAFTA.
She played Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix smash The Crown, a vile step-mum in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag and detective Ellie Miller in intense drama Broadchurch. She even took on the role of a bear in 2022’s Shrek spin-off Puss In Boots: The Last Wish.

In 2022, Olivia starred in romance drama, Empire Of Light. The film, directed by Sam Mendes, is set in Margate in the 1980s and follows Olivia’s character Hilary, a cinema manager who develops a relationship with her employee Stephen, played by Michael Ward.
But it’s been reported Olivia was “embarrassed” when she had to film sex scenes with co-star Micheal – who is 23 years younger. Speaking on Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg, the film’s director Sam revealed: “She [Olivia] was very embarrassed about performing the sex scenes, as is often the case.
“You’re seeing people at their rawest, at their most emotionally vulnerable.” He continued: “It’s like anything, you’re trying to push a little further into the places that you’re not normally allowed to go into, you’re going behind the curtain as it were, and I wanted to see their physical desire.”

Olivia also reflected on filming the sex scenes with Michael. She admitted she was left mortified after they shot one particular raunchy scene.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, The Crown star said: “There was one particular moment when I was astride Micheal in a compromising and slightly embarrassing situation.
“And he said, ‘It’s my mum’s birthday today. When he said she was 43, I was like, “OK, stop talking!’

In 2019, Olivia bagged an Oscar award for her role in The Favourite – and it appears she celebrated by getting down and dirty with her husband. She and husband Ed Sinclair share two sons and a daughter.
A year later she presented the Best Actor award at the 2020 Oscars where she hinted that she romped her hubby after her win the year before.
“It ended up being the best night of my husband’s life,” she joked. “He actually says that, and I’ve given birth three times.”

Olivia took on the role of Queen Anne in the 2018 flick The Favourite. The film follows frail Queen Anne as England wages war with France, while her close pal Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) rules the country for her ailing friend.
When new servant Baroness Abigail Masham (Emma Stone) turns up, Sarah takes her under her wing – and she’s determined to return to her aristocratic roots. And the movie had its fair share of racy sex scenes.

During the lesbian fingering scenes in the film, Olivia struggled not to giggle. She told The Sunday Times: “We had two or three weeks’ rehearsal and so we couldn’t be embarrassed in front of each other.
“We had rolled on the floor, and giggled, and eaten together and shared everything. We’d become very good friends.”
She added: “Snogging is fine, because snogging Rachel Weisz is like you’ve won the lottery. The other bit – being fingered by Emma Stone – we really struggled with not giggling at that.”
