Olivia Rodrigo was questioned by the police
During her conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Olivia Rodrigo shared an unusual experience. She was at an airport in Canada with her team, preparing to head to the United States, when the police unexpectedly appeared. An officer approached her, saying he needed to speak with her before escorting her to an interrogation room. He asked if she had ever been arrested. She replied no, which seemed to confuse him.
"There's a big cop with a gun and he's like, 'Have you ever been arrested?' I'm like, 'No, I haven't been arrested.' And he's like, 'Are you sure?' I'm gaslighting myself? I'm like, oh my God. Maybe I was arrested and I didn't know it. After 30 minutes of interrogation, he looks at me and he goes, 'What's your name?' I go, 'Olivia Rodrigo, R-O-D-R-I-G-O'. And he's like, 'Oh, there's a girl who looks just like you, that's your same age that's been arrested multiple times. And her name's Olivia Rodriguez,'" Olivia said.
