Olivia Colman Admits Meeting Austin Butler Made Her 'Go Weak At The Knees'

Olivia Colman at the premiere of her film The Roses last monthOlivia Colman had absolutely no intention of playing it cool when the subject of Austin Butler came up during a recent radio interview.Earlier this week, the Oscar winner made an appearance on the Radio 1 breakfast show, where host Greg James pointed out that the Elvis star had paid a visit to the show just a few days earlier.After Greg shared that the Elvis star was a “huge fan” of Peep Show, the British sitcom which marked one of Olivia’s breakthrough roles, she was left pretty shocked.“Stop it!” Olivia responded to the news, before questioning whether, like her, Austin had made Greg “go weak at the knees”.“He looks you right in the eye, and holds your hand and goes, ‘such a pleasure to meet you’,” Olivia claimed, imitating Austin’s signature drawl and even letting out an involuntary squeal.View this post on InstagramA post shared by BBC Radio 1 (@bbcradio1)Olivia is currently on the promo trail for her new black comedy The Roses, co-starring fellow British star Benedict Cumberbatch.The film is a modern reimagining of Warren Adler’s 1981 novel The War Of The Roses, which was itself previously adapted for the big screen in 1989, led by Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.In the new version, Olivia and Benedict are joined by an impressive A-list cast, including Ncuti Gatwa, Kate McKinnon, Andy Samberg, Jamie Demetriou and Oscar winner Allison Janney.So far, The Roses has received somewhat positive reviews, and currently holds a critical score of 66% on the reviews aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes.The Roses is in UK cinemas now.READ MORE:'F*** Off': Olivia Colman Names The 1 Loaded Question She's Tired Of Being AskedOlivia Colman Is Definitely Not Playing It Cool When It Comes To Her Next Dream Role'I've Had Loads': Olivia Colman Gets Very Candid About Her Past Use Of Botox
