Scandal: Kerry Washington Surprised Olivia Pope Isn't a "Drug Addict Strung Out in a Jail Cell"
Now that we know who Olivia Pope's father is, Kerry Washington can see why herScandal alter-ego's personal life is in such shambles.
"He's one of the most awful human beings," Washington said of her television dad (played terrifically evil by Joe Morton) at the Variety Power of Women event in Beverly Hills.
"I used to think how in the world is Olivia Pope such a successful woman, but she's such a mess," she said. "Now I think I'm surprised she's not a drug addict like strung out in a jail cell somewhere."
Asked why Olivia and the president didn't, um, go at it after they were left alone in the White House bunker during last week's season premiere, Washington explained, "They're really trying to do the right thing, those two. They're really trying to take care of the crises, respect the marriage and try to do good."
Thankfully, Washington's real family and personal life is nothing—absolutely nothing—like Olivia's.
"My mom might be one of the coolest human beings on the planet," Washington said. "She's really powerful. She's one of the smartest, most elegant women I know. I hope that one day I can be as cool as she is."
