Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nason. You went out last night on
a Monday night. Goodness me I saw. I was thrilled
to be invited to interview Olivia Coleman for ten minutes
or so before a screening of her new film, which
is called Wicked Little Letters. It's a fantastic movie before
a group at the Ritz Cinema up in Randwick. And

(00:24):
I met Olivia for a drink beforehand, and we chatted
then in the car on the way there, and then
we spent ten minutes on stage together. She I just
want her to be my new best friend. She's everything
I've ever wanted her to be. I've loved her for
years and years from her earliest show's peep Show. I
asked her actually just when we were chatting about how

(00:45):
she because she did a whole lot of stuff with
Mitchell and Webb, which is Robert Webb and David Mitchell,
and she said the story has always been written at
there at university together. She said she never went to university.
She tried to get into acting school, couldn't get into
acting school, failed about one hundred of her first audition
to try and try her hand at acting. So she
was working at a cleaner at the UNI and somehow
met them through that forged this creative bond with them,

(01:08):
and that's kind of where she got the ball rolling.
So she had one hundred failures through auditions before anything
happened for her. That's what happened. But she's the nicest woman.
We spoke. She know what she's obsessed with Australia. She's
been in Australia for about three weeks making film and Adelaide.
She's obsessed with Married at First Sight, The Australian Australian Well.
She said that she finds it fascinating to see some

(01:31):
bad relationships play out, and that she said, there are
some very sincere people in that show, really looking for love.
And it's so interesting in this truncated version of life
and relationships, where you get to see coercion, you get
to see how bad relationships can begin, you get to
see red flags. So for people to see warning. She
wants to say to her kid's look at that. That's
what's bad. So she finds it quite fascinating. She say

(01:55):
she hasn't picked up one hundred percent. We spoke about
holding in underpants, you know, like the rest of us,
why we were, that's right in your wheelhouse. It's completely
my wheelhouse. The horror hot stories throughout the years of
ringholding it underpants. She was just the most fabulous woman.
I just loved her and she liked Taylor Swift. The
first thing she wanted to do in Australia hold a koala?
What's with that? What's with that? She loved it and

(02:16):
she said she was thrilled to see it didn't have chlamydia.
I said, well, that's what you think. You'll get a
letter in a few weeks later. Sorry, I have to
tell you I've got chlamydia. What's that the Marriti first
sight contest. Anyway, we caught up with Olivia yesterday our interview.
We caught up with her before I got to hang
out with you. Yeah, so it's just a regular interview
before she and I became best friends. So that will

(02:39):
explain any sort of aloofness that perhapsed. There was no allotiness,
but we don't refer to our evening together
