Olivia Colman, the powerhouse actress who seamlessly navigates between hilarious and heart-wrenching roles, is a British treasure. From her “Broadchurch” to her Oscar-nominating performances in “The Favourite” and “The Father,” she’s captivated audiences with her raw talent and versatility.
Known for her down-to-earth personality and great humor, Colman isn’t afraid to poke fun at herself or dive headfirst into eccentric characters. But beyond her acting prowess, Colman also possesses a surprising hidden talent that would make even the master of impersonations, Tom Hiddleston, take notice.
One Can Not Miss This Olivia Colman Impression of a Pigeon
Olivia Colman and Irish actor Jessie Buckley recently appeared in an interview with Ali Plumb on BBC Radio One. The two actors worked together on Wicked Little Letters (2023). The conversation moved to one of the movie scenes where Colman’s mother shudders! This led to a chain of hilarious impressions by Buckley, Colman, and Plumb.
Colman’s sense of humor was as always top-notch. Plumb then compared their impressions to a pigeon in 1979’s Moonraker. Colman then showed the best pigeon impression the world has ever seen. Buckley and Plumb could not control their laughter.
It’s safe to say that even the king of impressions Tom Hiddleston would praise such a talent. Hiddleston is known for impersonating stars to almost perfection, including his co-star Owen Wilson. Yet, Colman’s impression was at par with Hiddleston’s, if not better!
