Olivia Colman on why sweary letters were original trolling

Olivia Colman recently opened up about receiving sweary letters and how they were actually a form of original trolling.

The acclaimed actress revealed that she used to receive handwritten letters filled with swear words and insults early in her career. Instead of being hurt by these messages, Colman found humor in them and saw them as a form of trolling before the term became popular online.

Colman shared that she would read the letters out loud to her friends and they would all have a good laugh about them. She found it amusing that someone would take the time and effort to write such nasty messages and felt that it was a strange form of flattery.

Despite the initial shock of receiving these letters, Colman learned to brush them off and not take them to heart. She credits these experiences with toughening her up and helping her navigate the often harsh world of show business.

Now, as a successful and respected actress, Colman looks back on these sweary letters with fondness and sees them as a unique part of her journey to where she is today.
