Yahoo Movies Olivia Colman loved her "extra boobs" on Wonka
Olivia Colman has spoken about her villainous character in Wonka and praised the large fake boobs she got to wear for the role.
The actress plays con-woman Mrs Scrubbit in the musical origin story, with her character forcing Timothée Chalamet's titular protagonist into an unfair life-long contract.
Speaking to People, Colman talked about creating the look for her character, and how she really appreciated the extra padding as the scenes were filmed during the cold British weather.

The actress said: "I loved being a baddie. I didn't really enjoy physically shoving [co-star Calah Lane] around, but she was going, 'I'm fine, I'm cool with it. Just do it.' But it is fun being a baddie and saying all the things you wouldn't normally say. I've just really enjoyed it.
"The teeth were... We went through various shades of yellow. I really liked the filthy ones, and everyone talked me down and went, 'I think we should probably go for something just a little subtle.' So we went for subtle yellow
"[Mrs Scrubbit is] a little bigger, so she had bigger bosoms and a bigger bum, and she was really confident. I was so cozy with my extra boobs. I loved it... the hair, there's something about the hair that had a slightly tobacco yellow colour to it.

"There's all these little touches that she clearly bleaches her hair, using probably the laundry bleach, but it's gone a bit tobacco. All these discussions that happened!"
In the same interview, Colman also heaped praise on Chalamet for his "joyful" nature and constant wanting to improve each take.
Wonka is currently playing in both UK and US cinemas.
