Oscar winner Olivia Colman slips Down Under as she prepares for new film with Adelaide filmmakers

She’s best known for her award winning role in the Netflix blockbuster series The Crown.

And now it appears that beloved UK-born actress Olivia Colman has slipped quietly Down Under to Australia. 

The 50-year-old Oscar winner was spotted in Adelaide on Friday ahead of production of her latest film.

The Favourite star was seen getting in some fitness time at a yoga studio in the South Australia capital reported the Advertiser on Saturday.

However, the report is unclear whether Olivia’s visit was a vacation or whether it was linked to her new picture.

Olivia, meanwhile, is set to star next in Wicker with Slumdog Millionaire actor Dev Patel.

The 33-year-old actor is known to have settled in Adelaide with his 29-year-old Australian girlfriend, the Lost Flowers of Alice Hart star Tilda Cobham-Hervey in 2022.

Wicker will be co-directed by Adelaide filmmaker Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer and will be shot in Europe later this year.

However, the report is unclear whether Olivia's visit was a vacation or whether it was linked to her new picture Wicker in which she co-stars with Slumdog Millionaire actor Dev Patel, who is known to live in Adelaide. Pictured: Olivia Coleman in the Netflix series The Crown

Olivia has been cast in the story, described as a ‘twisted romance’, as a ‘fisherwoman’ who ‘commissions’ a ‘husband’ made of wicker.

Her odd beau will be played by Patel.

Olivia rose to fame in the UK series Broadchurch.

She later achieved international acclaim for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix series The Crown.

In 2019 she won a Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Favourite.
