Olivia Colman looked startlingly different as she teamed up with Love Actually’s Richard Curtis for a new eco-advert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The iconic actress, 49, stars as ‘Oblivia Coalmine’ in the new clip, which aims\u00a0to reveal pension fund ties to the fossil fuel industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Olivia was convincingly villainous as a latex-clad oil exec who encourages people to continue to donate their hard-earned pennies and pounds to her fossil fuel company.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Launched ahead of COP28 in the UAE, Oblivia appeared in the film for Richard Curtis’s Make My Money Matter Campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked the typical evil business magnate with slicked-back hair, a glossy red slip and dark smokey eyeliner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Controlling:\u00a0The iconic actress, 49, stars as ‘Oblivia Coalmine’ in the new clip, as she sat at her desk and drunk red wine<\/p>\n
The start of the video sees a sinister Olivia speaking to the camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the advert, she says: ‘Hello, my name is Oblivia Coalmine and on behalf of the fossil fuel industries I would like to say a huge thank you for all your support this bumper year.<\/p>\n
‘People like you have pumped billions of your hard-earned pounds into our gas and oil businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The cash from your pensions has helped us dig, drill and destroy more of the planet than ever before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘We’ve even managed to build a few little wind turbines to keep Greta [Thunberg] and her little chums happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Please keep sending your pensions our way. You know the drill!’\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she speaks, the camera slowly zooms out in a menacing way, revealing Olivia sat with her legs casually crossed on the table and drinking red wine while others make phone calls around her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ad highlights \u00a388billion of UK pension money being invested in oil and gas companies, including an estimated \u00a320billion in Shell alone, according to analysis by Make My Money Matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Commenting on the video, Olivia said: ‘Fracking Hell, Oblivia Coalmine really is a nasty piece of work! But the scariest thing about her is that she represents something very real.<\/p>\n
‘That’s why this is such an important campaign. I hope everyone who sees this ad realises the shocking – but unintended – impacts of our pensions and makes their money matter. It really is one of the most powerful things we can all do to protect the planet.’<\/p>\n
Richard Curtis, the co-founder of Make My Money Matter said: ‘I’ve seen some dark, dystopian characters in my career, and that doesn’t even include Hugh Grant in Love Actually. But I think Oblivia Coalmine is right up there with the worst.<\/p>\n
‘At Make My Money Matter, we hope this sinister performance by Olivia Colman highlights a more serious issue \u2013 that billions of pounds of our hard-earned pensions are driving the climate crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘People across the UK want their money to help our planet, not harm it and all our pension schemes must now pay attention and take immediate and urgent action.’<\/p>\n
Richard Curtis frequently enlists A-list celebrities for his adverts, as Game of Thrones’ Kit Harrington and his wife Rose Leslie reunited on screen for a VERY passionate kiss earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
