Olivia Colman: “I’ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man.” 🙄

Olivia Colman is currently on the press tour for her new film Jimpa and has come out with some absolute corkers in an interview with them "magazine" including:

"Throughout my whole life, I’ve had arguments with people where I've always felt sort of nonbinary. Don’t make that a big sort of title! But I’ve never felt massively feminine in my being female. I’ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man. And he goes, “Yeah, I get that.”"

Which I can only assume means he likes it when she pegs him.

And a dig at some undefined group of naysayers and haters and meanies:

"Most of the actors were from, particularly in the Dutch side of things, from the queer community there; I’ve never been part of a more welcoming group of people. For all those naysayers or haters or meanies, if [only] they could spend the time with the most welcoming, kind bunch of people. I kind of want everyone to just come and say hi and actually feel total love."

Jimpa stars Olivia Colman as Hannah, mother to the non-binary Frances (played by they/them, non-binary, queer, transgender daughter of the film's director, Aud Mason-Hyde) who go to Amsterdam to visit Hannah's gay HIV positive father (John Lithgow, currently simultaneously scorned by the queers for daring to be in the new Harry Potter series, any by the meanies for talking shit about JKR). I'm sure it will be a hoot.

Congratulations Olivia on your brave coming out as a queer, non-binary, gay man, spicy-straight woman. You're so late to the party all the cool kids will find your identity embarrassing now.

YANBU. What a fucking embarrassment. Homophobic, incoherent nonsense.

ConstantlyFuriosa · 07/02/2026 01:44

Ah non. Le cringe.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 07/02/2026 01:45

Don’t they talk shit when they haven’t got a script?

It’s like they lose the ability to formulate sensible thoughts into coherent sentences. They should have a scriptwriter behind the scenes at all times, working to the brief, ‘Make me seem less of a berk.’

DreamTeam20 · 07/02/2026 02:17

I like her less and less. And Emma frownhound Thomson for that matter. Two PITA.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 07/02/2026 02:23

I like her acting too but she’s fucking insufferable, isn’t she? Much like Emma Thompson.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 07/02/2026 02:24

Haha x post

BlueEyedBogWitch · 07/02/2026 02:34

Frownhound 😂😂😂

Dawnintheageofaquariams · 07/02/2026 05:39

Just. Fuck. Off.
Olivia Colman is the new Stephen Fry, and the old one was bad enough.
She'll be loving Palestine, hating Tories, and avoiding any overt criticism of China next...

She's old enough to remember that back in the 80s when many of us had short hair and wore clothes that made us look like we were in the Workers Revolutionary Party, that look was just so mainstream it didn't need a name. Wise up Olivia, you're not a gay bloke ffs - you're a middle aged woman, and as you well know we come in all different shapes, sizes and colours. You don't become a gay bloke because you have short hair, you idiot.

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't feel quite as bad as the dreadful 'I'm a lesbian trapped in man's body' joke but it still feels cringe & tone-deaf.

Steve Buscemi did it better.

I love Steve Buscemi!

No need to bash all actors though... Several I like seem pretty sensible. As a rule, character actors & ones who keep pretty low-key public image except when necessary are the most sensible.

Bringemout · 07/02/2026 05:54

I’m not like the other girls doncherknow…I’m speccccial.

I feel like there more internatised misogyny now than there was before.

Once upon a time she was quite refreshing. I remember an interview where she admitted she didn’t do any research and it was an antidote to actors going a bit heavy on all the work they did and sometimes thinking they had the intellect of the person they were playing. But I suppose even late-onset fame will send anyone up their own fundament.

Actors aren't necessarily airheads, especially ones focused more on character & theatre work rather than photogenic main leads.

I agree that people who inflate their work are annoying, you can take it seriously without doing that.

Ironically, Olivia Colman is arguably a character-focused person generally promoted on acting ability rather than looks,,but she seems to have unluckily become preoccupied with being down with the kids

wow, what a deeply misogynistic and hate filled thread.

How is it misogynistic?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 07/02/2026 06:10

It’s not misogynistic to think Olivia Colman is an idiot. I think lots of people are idiots, many of them are men.

😂

And/or she likes it up the bum. She does have children, so they must've agreed to be a het couple at least three times 😏

Obviously, she can't know what it feels like to be a gay man. It's a homophobic statement, just as men claiming to feel like a woman are sexist. Actors can be such prats! I often cure myself of a crush by finding interviews with the man, who, surprise, surprise, turns out to be just another woolly-brained ego fest.

crumpet · 07/02/2026 06:18

Well for someone one non binary she doesn’t half love a giggly, flirty, feminine persona.

loislovesstewie · 07/02/2026 06:23

I've gone right off her and Emma Thompson. ET for flying into the UK to protest about climate change started my dislike of her. And now OC coming out with complete rubbish like this. Do they actually listen to themselves? That was a rhetorical question because I'm of the opinion that they are all mad. And why are we supposed to be interested in their banal ramblings?

Newyearsameme26 · 07/02/2026 06:26

I'm a man trapped in a lesbian.
Yeah, that is just vaginismus...

Dreamingpeanuts · 07/02/2026 06:07

wow, what a deeply misogynistic and hate filled thread.

Why? Nobody is hating Colman for being a woman, and it isn't hate filled to find the banal and achingly dull musings of an actor dreadful.
Colman is at best misguided, at worst rather homophobic.

Is this a long winded way to explain she prefers her hair short?

I think so!

I’m suspecting she knows what audience her latest film will appeal to and she’s trying to make herself appear cool to them. Because god forbid you’re a middle aged, straight white woman. How boring.

What a navel gazing tedious arse she is.
