Olivia Colman has spoken openly about her feelings on gender identity. She said she has never felt strongly feminine and has never felt comfortable with strict gender roles.
In a recent interview, Colman explained that she has often felt nonbinary. She said this feeling has been part of her life for many years and is simply how she understands herself.

She shared these thoughts while promoting a new film that explores gender identity within a family. Working on the film helped her realise she is not alone and that many people feel the same way.
Colman said she believes gender is not fixed and not limited to two clear choices. She feels most at ease living without labels or expectations.

She added that her personal life reflects this view. In her marriage, strength and sensitivity are shared. She believes everyone carries different sides within them, and that this balance is natural.
