Broadchurch’s Olivia Colman is worried that we’ll get sick of her crying on TV

We’ll never get bored of your misery, Liv

Olivia Colman

We love Olivia Colman. Lots. And most especially in Broadchurch, where she plays tortured cop Ellie Miller.

Only the BAFTA award-winning actress is getting worried that she cries too much on TV – and that we might get sick of her.

She managed to speak to Vogue for a short while – at least long enough for an interview, anyway - presumably in between blowing her nose and wiping tears off the table.

“I have a sneaking suspicion that audiences have seen me crying a little bit too often in the past couple of years,” she blubbed.

“And if people get really fed up with me, then I won't get more work. And if I can't do what I love, then I will shrivel up and die.

“If something touches me, I cry. That's it. I'm a bit raw, a bit rubbish really. Often a director will say to me, "I don't think this is a scene where your character cries." And all I can say is, good luck with that!”

Wowser, that’s a tad dramatic, Olivia, though you’re a thespian and we’d expect no less.

If you’ve watched Broadchurch then you’ll know that it’s an emotional rollercoaster. If you’d stayed dry eyed during that then you’d have a heart of stone, Olivia.

Now have a tissue, dear. No, don’t cry again – we’re not saying you look like need one. Oh, there she goes again…

Here's another emotional person...
