Does Olivia Colman's Sock Puppet Help Her Cry When Shooting Emotional Scenes? | Would I Lie To You?

#WILTY #WouldILieToYou #BBC

Olivia Colman says she needs the director to hold up a cat puppet to help her during emotional scenes.

In this episode, the guests joining Lee Mack and David Mitchell are Olivia Colman, Aston Merrygold, Jon Richardson and Michaela Strachan, from Series 12 Episode 3 (S12 E03).

Would I Lie to You? is the hit BBC panel show where two teams of celebrity guests try to figure out whether their opponent's ridiculously far-fetched statements about themselves are true or, in fact, a lie.

Featuring inimitable host Rob Brydon with lightning-quick team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack.

Would I Lie to You? is brought to you by Banjiay Rights in partnership with Zeppotron and the BBC.

I would have immediately thought "Truth" after her anecdote on Graham Norton about needing to have ear buds in playing maritime schedule broadcasts to keep her from crying during emotional scenes in...The Crown(?) where she's supposed to NOT cry. Something like this I would have though would then be used to get her to be emotional on command.

Now that I think about it, in that anecdote, she says she's emotional enough in those kinds of scenes that she probably doesn't need an aid...

I would watch Olivia Colman in anything.

It was a lie as soon as Rob threw the thing to Lee despite her saying she didn't want it thrown. Pretty sure they wouldn't mistreat a guests sentimental property.

Sue has had a hard time since she left Sooty and Sweep.

O.C. is brilliant. I just watched GREEN WING.

100% agree!!! I love her in “Night Manager” with Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie!!! Scuttlebutt over here in the colonies, is that they are starting to film the second part, which should be interesting bc Hugh’s character is in the hands of the bad ppl at the end of Part 1…I know Tom and Hugh are in it, but is Olivia and did she pop out that baby?!? Was she really pregnant at the time?!? Poor thing if she was bc y’all were filming in hot locations…yikes!!!
