Big Mood Stars Nicola Coughlan And Lydia West Talk Dating Icks And The Importance Of Friendship And Authenticity On Set

GLAMOUR: Correct answer or no?

Nicola: I don’t eat pork so not bacon and cabbage, it was also one of my hated meals as a kid. I really hated it, I can smell it now. But the “I love you ever since I met you a few hours ago”, that was lovely. I feel like I like both very nice and very terrible stuff, I like McDonalds but I also like somewhere they sell oysters. I also love being in my house so much, I love my couch.

Nicola: What’s your favourite moment of mine from the Big Mood set?

Lydia: I would say it would be the Love Actually party… You were holding a rat which you have an irrational fear of… Well not irrational actually.

Nicola: No, they did the plague!

Lydia: They did that.

Nicola: They’ve not always been great guys. What’s my biggest pet peeve?

Lydia: When people are mean, have bad energy or are unkind.

Nicola: I think so, it’s because I’m not actively mean. I can have a disagreement with someone but I would never be outright [mean] so when people do it to me I’m so affronted by it.

Lydia: You’re just so kind to everyone and you treat them with such respect, when people don’t give that back to you and disrespect you you’re just so affected by it. Because you can’t imagine ever being that.

Nicola: I’m just a sensitive Sally.

Lydia: Yeah, but it’s beautiful.

RAY BURMISTON

Nicola: Who would play me in my biopic and why?

Lydia: I don’t know the names of any actors in the whole wide world. Who’s a great blonde actor? Leonardo DiCaprio.

Nicola: In a wig.

Lydia: In a wig! [laughs] He has beautiful blue eyes. You have stunning blue eyes. He has blonde hair. He’s hot. He’s good to the environment.

GLAMOUR to Nicola: Who would you want to play you in your biopic?

Lydia: Who played Weird Barbie?

Nicola: Kate McKinnon. Oh yeah can I have Kate McKinnon?

Lydia: She’d be incredible as an older version of you.

Nicola: I once got a text from her and it was the best moment of my life. My friend text me like “Kate McKinnon wants your number.” I was like “WHAT?”

Lydia: She’s incredible.

Nicola: I love her so much.
