Olivia Colman went from a cleaner to this year’s Oscar-winning best actress. Here’s what you should know about the star.奧利维娅·柯尔曼从清洁工摇身一变成为今年的奥斯卡影后。关于这位明星,你应当知道以下信息。

At the 2019 Oscars, first-time nominee Olivia Colman won the award for best actress for her starring role as Queen Anne in The Favourite. She appeared to be taken by surprise, but went on to give an endearing acceptance speech that Harper’s Bazaar called “the greatest Oscar speech of all time.”

Here are 10 things you might not know about the award-winning actress.

Her first name isn’t Olivia.

The Favourite star’s real name isn’t Olivia. It’s actually Sarah. Her entire name is Sarah Caroline Olivia Colman.

Colman didn’t always want to be an actress.

Before becoming the award-winning actress she is today, Colman trained to be a primary school teacher in Cambridge.

She told the Hollywood Reporter, “I left the college, but stayed in the town and just cycled around. I worked as a cleaner, went to other people’s lectures and did loads of plays. And that’s when I realized I didn’t want to be anything other than an actor.”

The Favourite is Colman’s second collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos and co-star Rachel Weisz. Her first was The Lobster.

Colman worked alongside Weisz under the direction of Lanthimos once before The Favourite.

In the dystopian independent comedy The Lobster, Colman played a hotel manager. The film was directed by Lanthimos and costarred Weisz.

Having worked with Colman on The Lobster, Lanthimos knew he wanted her for the role of Queen Anne in The Favourite. In fact, in an interview with Deadline, Lanthimos said that he wouldn’t have made The Favourite without her, because he just couldn’t picture anyone else in the leading role.

Rather than use prosthetics, Colman gained significant weight for the role of Queen Anne.

According to the Telegraph, Colman gained approximately two and a half stone—that’s 35 pounds—to play Queen Anne. She joked to the outlet that “there was no technique, just triple portions.” Losing the weight afterward was more of a challenge, so she worked with a personal trainer.

Fans of British comedy might know Colman as Sophie Chapman from Peep Show.

Comedians David Mitchell and Robert Webb created the British comedy series, Peep Show, which starred Colman.

The actress also appeared in That Mitchell and Webb Look, another comedy series by Mitchell and Webb.

The comedians were also among the first to congratulate Colman on her Oscars win on Twitter.

Some fans might recognize her from the series Broadchurch.

Colman starred as Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller alongside former and future Doctor Who stars David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker in this crime drama series that is streaming on both Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Other notable dramatic roles from Colman include the role of Hannah in the film Tyrannosaur and Angela Burr in the TV series The Night Manager, which also starred Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, and Elizabeth Debicki.

Her coworkers have plenty of good things to say about the star.

It seems Colman gets along well with her co-stars.

Rachel Weisz told Harper’s Bazaar of the actress, “Olivia is just gorgeous and lovely.”

Lanthimos told Deadline of his relationship with Colman, “... we’re friends and collaborators and I would be happy to work together again.”

Further, when Colman won the best actress academy award for her role in The Favourite, her co-star Emma Stone was visibly thrilled—Stone broke down in tears and gave Colman a kiss on the cheek.

Olivia Colman will be bringing a second British monarch to screens everywhere very soon.

As Queen Elizabeth II in the third and fourth seasons of Netflix’s The Crown, Colman will take over from Claire Foy, and will be accompanied by Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip, and Ben Daniels as Lord Snowdon.

Season three of The Crown is due to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2019.

Her dog is called Alfred, Lord Waggyson.

On David Tennant’s new podcast, “David Tennant Does A Podcast With…” the actress revealed that her dog’s name is Alfred, Lord Waggyson.

2019奧斯卡颁奖礼上,首次获得提名的奥利维娅·柯尔曼因在电影《宠儿》中扮演安妮女王而获得最佳女演员奖。她看上去大吃一惊,但接下来发表的获奖感言十分亲切感人,被《时尚芭莎》称为“史上最棒的奥斯卡演讲”。

关于这位奥斯卡获奖女演员,以下10个事实你可能并不了解。

她的名字并不叫奥利维娅。

出演《宠儿》的这位明星名字并不叫奥利维娅,而是萨拉。她的全名是萨拉·卡罗琳·奥利维娅·柯尔曼。

柯尔曼并不是一开始就想做演员的。

成为今日这位奥斯卡获奖女演员之前,柯尔曼曾在剑桥接受培训,做一名小学老师。

她对《好莱坞报道》说:“我离开了大学,但仍然在那个城市游荡。我做过清洁工,常常去观摩别人的讲座,参与了许多戏剧的演出。这时我终于意识到,我什么也不想干,只想成为一名演员。”

《宠儿》是柯尔曼第二次与导演欧格斯·兰斯莫斯和演员雷切尔· 薇兹合作。他们第一次合作的电影是《龙虾》。

出演《宠儿》是柯尔曼第二次在兰斯莫斯执导下与薇兹并肩合作。

在反乌托邦独立喜剧《龙虾》中,柯尔曼扮演一位饭店经理。这部电影也是由兰斯莫斯执导,并由薇兹共同参演。

与柯尔曼合作《龙虾》之后,兰斯莫斯意识到他希望柯尔曼扮演《宠儿》中的安妮女王。事实上,在《档期 》的访谈中,兰斯莫斯提到如果没有柯尔曼,他根本不可能拍出《宠儿》。他无法想象由柯尔曼以外的任何一个人来主演这部电影。

为了演好安妮女王这个角色,除了使用假体装饰,柯尔曼曾大量增重。

据《电讯报》报道,为了扮演安妮女王,柯尔曼增加了多达2.5英石,约合35磅的体重。她开玩笑地对媒体说:“(增重)没什么秘诀,就是吃3倍(于平常)的分量就行。”之后的减重才更具挑战性,因此她找了一位私人健身教练来帮助她。

英国喜剧的粉丝们可能因柯尔曼在《窥男志》中扮演索菲·查普曼而认识她。

英国系列喜剧《窥男志》,由两位喜剧演员戴维·米切尔和罗伯特·韦伯创作,柯尔曼也在其中参演。

她还出演了这两人创作的另一部系列喜剧《米切尔与韦伯》。

这两位喜剧演员也是最早在推特上祝贺柯尔曼获奖的人。

有些粉丝可能通过电视剧《小镇疑云》认识了柯尔曼。

柯尔曼在该剧中扮演警探艾莉·米勒,并与戴维·田纳特和乔迪·惠特克合作。前者曾经出演正在奈飞和亚马逊影视上播出的犯罪剧《神秘博士》,后者则即将出演该剧。

柯尔曼扮演过的其他引人注目的重要角色包括电影《暴龙》中的汉娜和电视剧《夜班经理》中的安吉拉·布尔,剧中与她合作的演员有汤姆·希德勒斯顿、休·劳瑞,以及伊丽莎白·德比齐。

她的合作者对她评价很高。

柯尔曼似乎与她的合作者们关系很好。

雷切尔·薇兹对《时尚芭莎》说:“奥利维娅优雅动人又十分可爱。”

兰斯莫斯对《档期》这样形容他与柯尔曼的关系,“我们既是朋友又是伙伴。如果能再次与她合作,我将非常高兴。”

此外,当柯尔曼因出演《宠儿》获得奥斯卡最佳女演员奖时,影片另一位主演埃玛·斯通明显激动万分——斯通当场落泪并亲吻了柯尔曼的面颊。

奥利维娅·柯尔曼很快会将另一位英国女王带上银幕。

在奈飞系列剧《王冠》第三季和第四季中,柯尔曼将取代克莱尔·福伊,扮演女王伊丽莎白二世。海伦娜·博纳姆·卡特将在剧中扮演玛格丽特公主,托拜厄斯·门基斯扮演菲利普亲王,本·丹尼尔斯扮演斯诺登勋爵。

《王冠》第三季将于2019年某个时间在奈飞播出。

她养了一条狗,名叫阿尔弗雷德·瓦吉森勋爵。

在戴维·田纳特的新一期播客中,柯尔曼透露了她狗狗的名字:阿尔弗雷德·瓦吉森勋爵。
