Watch Emilia Clarke and Olivia Colman Cackle Over Tea in a New Video Series, “Off the Cuff”

Hi, Vogue.

I'm Emilia Clarke.

And I'm Olivia Colman.

And this is...

Off the Cuff. [audio beeps]

Okay. What is an item you never leave the house without?

Mobile phone. Mobile phone

And keys to get back in.

[laughs] Good practical.

I love it.

Yeah. Yes. Excellent.

And knickers.

[laughs] Obviously, the knickers.

Always.

A spare in your bag or just on your person?

No. Maybe I should move into that sort of thing.

But you don't want to go out and go,

I haven't got my knickers on.

That's an awful way to-

[chuckles] Have you ever done that?

No. No.

But I can imagine that's not what you want to do.

No, definitely not.

What are you listening to right now?

Listen to a lot of podcasts.

Do you? Yeah, I love podcasts.

Can you recommend something?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.

That's amazing. Okay, okay.

We love him.

I like Where There's A Will There's A Wake.

Yes. I think that's very funny.

♪ Where there's a will, there's a ♪

And then if you were choosing too for you,

she'd give you your own intro.

♪ Olivia Colman. ♪

[laughs] Yes, yes.

That and Beyonce.

That's what I'm listening to.

Oh, see, I thought you had, Beyonce had a podcast.

Can you imagine? What?

Can you guess where this look is from?

Oh, there's a picture. [Olivia chuckles]

Sorry. Sorry guys.

I was like, Is it gonna come from the sky? [laughs]

Where's it gonna come from?

Can you guess where this look is from?

That's a crown dress, isn't it?

Correctamundo. Oh.

There we are.

There you are.

There she is. Beautiful lady.

What is one thing you need to toss from your wardrobe?

Oh, I actually just did it.

Basically, there's a cardigan that I have.

Oh, don't throw it away.

Do you love it?

Chanel. What?

The Chanel cardigan.

You're gonna toss it?

I'm not gonna throw it. Oh, that's okay.

I'm gonna find a happy home for it.

I see.

But it doesn't suit me. It never did.

And it just hangs my wardrobe because it's from Chanel.

Right. It's now making me sad.

There's a Chanel. Oh, because

it's not living its life.

Gorgeous cardigan that's not living

its best life. Yeah.

Because it doesn't suit me at all.

Yeah.

And I put it on nearly every day

and then take it off again.

Oh. So there we go.

I know it's really sad,

but I'm gonna make sure it goes through a happy home.

Yeah. Good.

Probably my mother.

Yeah. Oh, nice.

She'd be happy.

Yeah. She'll be very happy.

That's true.

She'd be so happy. Yeah.

If you'd like it as well.

Lovely. Thank you.

Yes, yes. Yeah.

What is a trend you swore off

that you never thought would come back?

Actually, high-waisted jeans.

No. Eighties high-waisted jeans.

And I thought, this isn't a good look.

No. And then it's come back

and it looks great.

It looks so good.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's all in. Yeah. Yeah.

It holds everything in.

Just nice. Exactly.

And for someone who has little legs

and a long torso. It elongates the legs.

That's exactly it.

Yeah. Yeah.

You put a hill on with a high waist.

Oh. Winning.

Yes. Where is this look from?

Me before you.

Yes. There was a lot of energy

that went into that red dress.

You're absolutely right.

In the book, it was a very big deal.

My girl wore a lot of different clothes.

I've never had so many costumes in my entire life

'cause she really liked clothes and she was a bit mental.

And that red dress had like 17 fittings.

Oh, wow. Yeah.

Wow. It was a big thing.

Did you get to keep it?

No. No.

Never do.

Never get costumes?

No. Right.

And everyone on Game of Thrones stole stuff

and I didn't. [Olivia gasps]

'Cause I'm a good moral upstanding citizen.

And when I said they weren't allowed,

you weren't allowed. Would you be able

to wear it again though?

No, but just to have it.

Ah, yeah.

As like my own memorabilia.

Yeah. Yeah.

No, they wouldn't let me take a wig.

I tend to take, not take but ask permission.

Yes. Bits of furniture.

Oh, nice.

From things. That's good.

Yeah. Or a pot- Oh, nice.

In the back of a shot or something.

So do you have bits of furniture from all of that?

Yeah, I've furnished my house completely

with [indistinct]. Oh, that's so nice.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Do you remember what your first red carpet look was?

So it was Peep Show [indistinct] years ago.

Oh, oh. No, we were so excited.

All of us. Yeah.

And I had been on a weekend away

with my husband in Amsterdam.

Oh nice. And we had almost no money.

Yes. I wanted

to buy something new. Yes.

And I bought a long black skirt

and a sort of black shirt from a shop in Amsterdam.

Lovely. And what about yours?

Yours are gonna be much cool.

I'm trying to think.

Let's just do the first Emmy's.

I went into Chanel being like, I'm gonna go to the Emmy's.

Do you have anything I can wear?

'Cause I'm obsessed

with Chanel. And they said yes?

And they said yes

and I wore this white, it was like this.

And it had a square thing,

and it had like a Louis XV sort of brocade situation.

It was purple, big skirt on the up.

It was amazing.

It was the scariest thing that I've ever done

in my entire life.

They're terrifying. Terrifying.

Do you like a red carpet or no?

No. No.

I would rather put poo in my eye.

Yes. [laughs]

That's a good- It's-

I like to listen to rap music ahead of time.

It's basically bullying. Yeah.

But while you're wearing a pretty frog smile.

Yes. Yeah, yeah.

Smile. [babbles] Yeah.

Can I just say my favorite red carpet dress that I've had?

Yeah.

It was a Stella McCartney jumpsuit with a cape

and- Oh.

That was the first time ever I thought-

I feel like I know it.

Putting it on.

It was Venice. Venice.

The first time I felt I can use this,

I feel like a superhero. Oh, yes.

Where does this look from?

The Met Gala, when I wore Dolce & Gabbana,

I have no idea of the year.

But that was a situation, yeah.

Oh, and here's the full...

Oh, wow. Look at you.

Yeah. It was a whole thing.

The Met Gala is so frightening.

Those stairs. Oh no.

The whole thing.

No. Couldn't cope with it.

If you are prone to imposter syndrome

it's gonna be on overdrive.

I watched it from home.

Yes.

How do you take your tea?

Oh my God.

And that's the same question to you so we can just-

Fabulous. It's like a dissertation for us both.

Right. It's very important. Yes.

Don't want to sound like a total See you next Tuesday.

No, no, no. But you have

to put boiling water onto tea.

Absolutely. You can't-

So you put your bag in, you've got your mug,

like you turn the kettle on,

you get your mug and you put your tea bag.

Straight in when it's boiled.

I like it squeezed a lot.

Strong. Strong, strong.

Yeah.

And then a little bit of milk.

Ah. You do it.

So I got my big Emma Bridgewater mugs.

Big, big mug, and- See,

I don't have a big mug.

Oh, I'm a big mug kind of girl.

'Cause I think it's gone the wrong temperature

by the time it get to the bottom.

I drink it very quick.

Oh. And Yorkshire Gold.

Yes. Excellent. In.

So I'll put my almond milk in and then I'll put the teabag

because it's in the thing already.

I'll pour the water directly onto the bag.

Yes. It's all going very...

All right. Yeah. Yeah.

And then squeeze the living daylights out of it.

Yes. Like I stain my nails

with how much I'm squeezing it

from the thing- With your hands.

Squeezy, squeezing.

And then stir, stir, stir, loads of stuff.

'Cause you've got a bit of honey and-

Oh, we're gonna make some tea.

There we go.

Oh, God.

That's what we're doing.

That's, you know, it's largely milk.

Sometimes it's tea flavored milk.

Lovely. Cheers so much.

[Emilia and Olivia laughing]

Yum. Thanks Vogue.

[audio beeps]

Where is this look from?

Oh, Oscars.

[gasps] I think you are right.

Ba-nah. Ba-nah.

Sexy lady. Fabulous.

I didn't get to keep that one.

You see? Why are we not-

Maybe we can wear that again.

You definitely could wear that again.

Could take the kids to school.

Exactly. [chuckles]

Just do it on the school run.

Show off your best Californian accent

while saying the line,

I will take what is mine with fire and blood.

Okay, so I will take what is mine

with fire and with blood.

My God. To my ear, that was amazing.

Thanks.

Do you know where that line came from?

I think it came from Game of Thrones. [chuckles]

Yes it did. Well done.

Yes it did. Well done.

Good. Show off your best Canadian accent.

Oh! That's really mean.

I'm never gonna work again now.

Obviously you are.

Oh, it is fun to be Queen sometimes, in a Canadian accent.

Canadian, Canadian is it Canadian?

Oh, it's fun to be Queen sometimes.

Oh, that was amazing.

I wasn't was it? That smashed it?

Ah! Smashed it.

Basically, being kind.

Pop quiz! Pop quiz!

Quick fire. Okay.

Biscuit or scones?

Scones. Scones.

Coffee or tea? Tea.

Obviously.

Film or television.

Film. Whoo!

London or Los Angeles.

Ooh. Depends which is warmer.

We're always gonna be Los Angeles maybe.

No, we left in a heatwave, didn't we?

They're both lovely.

This isn't quick fire.

Theater or film?

Film, theater's too scary.

Scary. I quite like it though.

I used to like it.

I got a bit scared.

Have you? Yeah.

I really wanna do more theater.

Do you? Yeah.

Me? You.

Who says the line, You're up to something.

Is it revenge money or is it something else?

Oh my God.

Star Wars? Yes.

Oh! [chuckles] Yes.

Get in. Okay, fabulous.

Do you remember the name of the character?

Yeah. Oh my.

Oh my God. Kira. Yes.

Yes, yes, yes. Right. Okay, good.

That was really frightening.

Right? Who says the line,

Chief, we've just gotten reports

of some hippie types messing with the recycling bins.

At the supermarket. At Supermarket.

That's Doris Thatcher.

That is, that is. Yeah, that is.

She's right.

Loved my day with you.

Oh, I've loved mine with you.

Absolutely loved it.

I think you are adorable and funny and very clever.

You've got a nice person to spend time with.

Bye. Bye. Bye-bye.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for having us.

Really think about how you take your tea.
