Rosamund Pike is a recipient of many awards. In fact, she just won one for her Netflix movie I Care a Lot. I am sure you are wondering where does she store her awards. The actress shared on a recent episode of Ellen where she keeps those things and the answer will surprise you. Pike buries all her awards in her garden. She straight-up buries them in the dirt. It is certainly not something anyone expects. Pike has a reasonable explanation for her move.
“I just find it an uneasy thing to display any award in your home, because how do people interact with them when they come home?” she explained. “Do they say, ‘Oh, wow, look, those are your awards’?”
She continued, saying, “I think it’s awkward, so I bury it in the garden with a little bit showing up so you can have an enticing glimpse of a hand or the globe maybe.”
Buzzfeed reported that Pike then went on to detail a potentially hilarious future scenario as a result of her burying all these awards:
“When I’m dead and gone or when somebody else buys the house, they’ll be landscaping and they’ll hit metal and they’ll think they found buried treasure and they’ll have, in fact, found a host of awards.”
Most people would keep awards in a more normal place but since they are Pike’s, she can decide what to do with them. Check out I Care A Lot on Netflix.
