“I must try to be cooler about it.”
Olivia Colman has revealed which classic James Bond character she’d love to add to her acting repertoire.
Speaking to British Vogue, The Crown star shared her dream of playing Judi Dench’s iconic MI6 boss, M.
“The amount of time I have wanted to be M. I’m not sure who I need to call…” she said in her recent cover interview.
When suggested she get in contact with James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, Colman shared her experience meeting the 007 boss, saying: “I know, I met her once.
I wanted to go, ‘Can I be M?’ I must try to be cooler about it. Maybe she reads Vogue? Put that bit in.”

As well as her dreams to join the Bond universe, the Oscar winner has been busy on a number of upcoming projects.
The first being the highly-anticipated Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel, Wonka — which stars Timothée Chalamet as the eccentric chocolatier.
Also starring Sally Hawkins and Hugh Grant, the film — which is set for release on December 8 in the UK, and December 15 in the US — will see Colman play a villain.
“I think you can tell from the trailer she’s not the romantic lead, she’s one of the villains. She’s a great villain, she’s terrific,” said Wonka‘s director, Paul King, during a trailer preview event for the film.

It has also been announced that Colman will be starring alongside Slumdog Millionaire‘s Dev Patel in new romance film, Wicker.
The actress will transform into a “smelly Fisherwoman” who sends her local conservative town into a frenzy of jealously and gossip when she begins a new relationship.
The film will be directed by Save Yourselves! Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, with production likely to begin in Europe next year.
