Olivia Cooke: We need more tough women on TV

Olivia Cooke wants to see more "durable and tough" women on TV.
The 24-year-old actress stars in ITV’s upcoming mini-series ‘Vanity Fair’ as a witty, calculating anti-hero, and ahead of the first episode being aired, Olivia has revealed what drew her to the character of Becky Sharp.
She shared: "She’s elastic. She just bounces back.
"It was really wonderful to play a woman who does that, because I feel like women are really durable and tough, but sometimes it’s not presented that way on film and TV."
Olivia is eager to play more roles of a similar nature in the future and for that reason, she’s confident that ageing will actually benefit her career.
She told the Independent newspaper: "I’m quite excited to get into my 30s. I’m 24, so I’m on that cusp of playing late teenage roles. I’m excited to age a little bit and play a woman."
Meanwhile, Olivia feels that the #MeToo movement has prompted a discernible culture change on TV and film sets.
Olivia said she doesn’t expect her male co-stars to suddenly become stand-offish, but nor does she want them to behave like a "d**k".
The actress – who starred in the Steven Spielberg-directed movie ‘Ready Player One’ earlier this year – explained: "I think people are just reminding themselves to be a bit conscientious.
"I mean, they don’t need to not speak to us – just don’t be gross and don’t be a d**k. It’s dead easy."
