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

[NaysayerOrMeanie]

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.

Oh keep it to yourself fgs

That’s Olivia off my christmas card list then.
It’s getting really short due to widespread twattery but given the price of stamps I suppose it isn’t all bad.
Seriously though, what a let down.

I think it was Rory Kinnear who remarked in an interview that whatever part of themselves actors access to generate their performances, in most cases, it sure ain't their brain.

Olivia Colman seems to be a case in point.

I have a friend thats a lighting technician for big tour type productions and goes on tour with bands and singers etc.

If they are working with hip young things, he comes home more like them. So the rappers? He is in box fresh trainers. The proper musicians, he carries his guitar everywhere with him. The grunge types, he let's his hair grow and so on.

Then he comes home like that, it lasts about 3 weeks and then he goes back to his old self.

This is just that isnt it? Hanging out with theys. Become a they for a bit. With the added bit of keep it up for the promo stuff.

The sad thing is that we can all see through it. An actor, acting.

I know 2 people who claim they are queer whilst being straight. Both are women married to men. I don't see why they feel the need to fly the rainbow flag to feel special whilst being the same as the rest of us.

Dunno about that, you can easily be a bisexual woman married to a man. My husband is a bisexual man married to me. People who meet him now would just think he's straight. Which is fine. But it doesn't change who he is.

My son’s piano teacher recently got married.
She mentioned her ‘partner’ and I said ‘ohh how exciting you can say husband now!’ To which she replied ‘well
his enby so we prefer ‘partner’.

So what was a nice little exchange acknowledging her exciting new marriage turned into the world’s most boring conversation.

When nepo babies try to make themselves interesting… and fail

Is the film a comedy? It might work then 🙂

A fantastic actress and absolute berk of a person.

Did she say "he's enby"? Lol.

Back in the day, it was fine for girls to wear trousers and have short hair. Now, that must mean that you're non binary

Everyone knows that girls must have long hair, wear make up and dresses

I'm sick of it!

Just love the word 'meanies'.

As soon as someone spouts that you know their brains have fallen out.

Yes, fair enough,

A TIM can be the nicest, kindest, most welcoming and trustworthy person in the world - it still doesn't make them a woman. It's not about saying, "Oh well, they're nice people, so we'll indulge their harmless pretence."

And frankly, if they really were good, nice, kind people they would't be seeking to violate women's boundaries.

Insufferable woman. Or gay man. Whatever.

Yeah an aunt of mine (aged 75 and in the 70s was marching for women's rights) recently claimed she now identified as queer and non-binary and would prefer if we used 'they/them for her.

My father said 'For Christ's sake Maureen, you've given birth to two children. If you are confused look inside your pants'.

Honestly if i had known family dinners were going to be so funny i would go more often.

Is this person intending to pay tax on all those extra adjectives?

There’s none left for the rest of us. I guess I’ll just have to go by plain old ‘woman’.

I love her work too.

It will be interesting to see if she gets more roles because of this. Although her "national treasure" status probably insulates her a bit, it's undoubtedly much harder for women aging in her industry.

So perhaps it was a good move. (Of course it's also mind numbingly thick and homophobic, but I've never understood why the public is so hungry for the opinions of actors on anything other than acting).

I know. Usually when an actor opens their mouth to spout off on some shit I go off them. Particularly if they are jumping on the bandwagon du jour.

😂😂

Most of us aren't particularly interested in a person's sexual orientation, particularly if a complete strsnger. Which is why it's so bloody boring when anyone feels the need to come up with some silly announcement.

“I’ve always described myself … as a gay man”

what a stupid thing to say, did she hear herself and think “oh bollocks that’s out there in the universe now”. I used to like her a lot but she has gone right down in my estimation with this. Absolute cringe.

Ditto. Although in trying to explain the 'look' to my 27 year old daughter the other day I just described it as being just not giving a sh3t about how we looked. We didn't pander to any feminine ideals. I am far more guilty of doing that these days

Berk is absolutely the right word.
