Jodie Comer Names One Thing She Wants To Never Do Again After Starring In A Ryan Reynolds Blockbuster
Jodie Comer has opened up about the important lesson she gleaned from starring alongside Ryan Reynolds in the hit film Free Guy.
Back in 2021, Jodie and Ryan both appeared in the action comedy alongside the likes of Channing Tatum, Oscar winner Taika Waititi and Stranger Things star Joe Keery.
The film was a hit with both critics and audiences, with the former Killing Eve star bringing up her work in it during a recent interview with GQ.
'It was my first film and I had the most amazing experience on that job,' she said, describing the team as the 'most gentle, inclusive, support' group of people who made the shoot 'incredibly film'.
However, Jodie recalled that when filming was done, she found herself thinking: 'Ah there's something I'm not feeling. I feel like I'm not stretching. Or not discovering.'
She explained: 'I realised that it was the emotional part of it. I wasn't exercising [that] part of myself.'
'I realised that's actually where I get my fulfilment – trying to find those places,' Jodie claimed. 'If the instincts aren't there, if I'm not excited by it, then I just don't want to go near it because then I'm pulling from an artificial place. It feels almost dishonest with myself.'
Since her early work in the likes of Doctor Foster, My Mad Fat Diary, and Thirteen, Jodie has become an international star thanks to her starring role in the spy comedy-drama Killing Eve.
In 2022, she won her second Bafta for her work in the hard-hitting drama Help, picking up both an Olivier and a Tony the following year for her performance in the one-woman legal play Prima Facie.
Jodie is currently gearing upa for the release of her next film project, Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later, in which she shares the screen with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell and Ralph Fiennes.

Music Review: Bruce Springsteen takes seven ‘Lost Albums' off the shelf for a new box set
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Perhaps as a result, the most interesting work on 'Tracks II' comes when he stretches out and explores pathways not in his wheelhouse: countrypolitan Bruce, border-town Bruce, Burt Bacharach-inspired Bruce and a set of synthesizer-based songs modeled after his Oscar-winning 'Streets of Philadelphia.' Oddly, the one disc of strays cobbled together that feels most like an E Street Band record is the least compelling. Advertisement Breaking down a big pool of music Since these are seven distinct albums, it's worth evaluating them that way. 'LA Garage Sessions '83' captures Springsteen working virtually alone at a home in the Hollywood Hills. It was squarely in between his 'Nebraska' and 'Born in the USA' albums, and he seems torn between those two approaches. There are character studies here, and more lighthearted fare like 'Little Girl Like You,' with a single man yearning to settle down. The most striking cut is 'The Klansman,' about a boy and his racist father, yet it cries out for more development. Ultimately, Springsteen chose the right albums to release at the time. Advertisement The song 'Streets of Philadelphia' was a genuine departure musically, and Springsteen decided to make an album in the same vein, with synthesizers and drum loops the dominant elements. If released in the early 1990s, this would have been the most contemporary-sounding disc of his career, with atmospherics that occasionally recall U2. Springsteen pulled it at the last minute, reasoning that the stories of doomed relationships — sample lyric: 'We loved each other like a disease' — was too much like 'Tunnel of Love.' At the same time he recorded 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' in 1995, Springsteen also convened a country band steered by pedal steel player Marty Rifkin. Their work was terrific, led by the one-two punch of 'Repo Man' and the Johnny Rivers cover, 'Poor Side of Town.' The title cut to a disc he calls 'Somewhere North of Nashville' escaped into the public some two decades later. Since the somber 'Joad' won a Grammy, who are we to second-guess his choice of what to put out? 'Nashville,' though, is a rollicking good time. 'Inyo' is similar to 'Joad' and 'Devils & Dust,' mostly acoustic-based narratives, here many of them stories of the Southwest. Springsteen even appropriately brings in mariachi bands for 'Adelita' and 'The Lost Charro.' Soozie Tyrell's violin is notable, particularly on the majestic 'When I Build My Beautiful House.' We're guessing that Springsteen may have considered 'Inyo' one album too many in the same style, but it's still strong work. Advertisement At one point Springsteen considered making 'Western Stars,' his salute to early 1970s California songwriting, a double album. When he didn't, the songs on 'Twilight Hours' were left behind. Here Bacharach is the primary influence, and this almost feels like Elvis Costello's collaboration with Burt, only without him (and is the lyric 'God give me strength' a hat-tip to that project?). The crooning Bruce of 'Sunday Love' is spellbinding, maybe the box's best song. 'Lonely Town' sits at the intersection of Bacharach and Roy Orbison, while 'Dinner at Eight' is a lovely sum-up. 'Twilight Hours' may startle Springsteen fans — and impress them, too. The workmanlike songs on 'Faithless' were written on commission in two weeks, the soundtrack to a movie that was never made. It's a good bet it would have been a moody Western. When Springsteen duels with Tom Morello on the song 'Another Thin Line,' you realize how little you've heard his electric guitar on 'Tracks II.' The album 'Perfect World' is the one here made up of leftovers from different periods, with the greatest E Street Band participation. Here's the deal, though: Most good E Street Band material has already been released. The best left behind for this disc is 'You Lifted Me Up,' with minimalist lyrics and a vocal collaboration with Patti Scialfa and Steve Van Zandt. The box gives Springsteen completists plenty to mull over, and you can question whether these 'lost discs' would get more attention released separately instead of together. If it's too much, he's releasing a 20-song set of its highlights. Advertisement __

'Terrifying' film you can't stream anywhere is on TV tonight
An acclaimed horror film unavailable on streaming services is being shown on TV tonight. Anticipation is building ahead of the release of 28 Years Later, directed by Danny Boyle. The film is set nearly three decades after the original film, 28 Days Later, where a rage virus escaped from a biological weapons laboratory. The sequel's cast includes Liverpool actor Jodie Comer, along with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes. It will be released in the UK next Friday (June 20). Fans have been desperate for Boyle to return as a director to the series since the first film's release in 2002, the MEN reports. READ MORE: ITV Soccer Aid's Lee Mack vows to never perform hometown gig as he receives note while on stage READ MORE: The cosy café selling 'the cheapest all-day breakfast in Liverpool' Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directed the first sequel, 28 Weeks Later, in 2007, while Boyle was an executive director. 28 Days Later, which will be shown on the BBC tonight, features Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy in one of his early film roles, alongside Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Megan Burns and Brendan Gleeson. Murphy plays a bicycle courier who awakens from a coma to discover society has broken down after the release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus. The film was applauded for capturing the lengths the world will go to survive in the face of evil. Boyle famously closed the streets of London to transform typically busy areas into a shell of their former selves. The film grossed a staggering $84.6 million worldwide on a budget of $8 million. It has a score of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics consensus on the site reads: 'Kinetically directed by Danny Boyle, 28 Days Later is both a terrifying movie and a sharp political allegory.' Despite being one of the most famous horror movies of all time, 28 Days Later has been missing from streaming for a number of years. It is believed that when Disney lost the rights to the series to Sony, they were unable to stream it on Disney+ anymore. On top of this, 28 Days Later has become difficult to find on DVD and Blu-ray due to going out of print a number of years ago, with expensive second hand copies being sold online. With lots of people looking to catch up on the original outing before heading to the cinema, it's time to have a quiet night in and prepare to get scared. 28 Days Later airs on Sunday, June 15, on BBC One and on the BBC iPlayer at 10.30pm.

You Wanted Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater. Who Is She to Say No to Your Money?
A church in Dubrovnik possesses what it claims are Jesus Christ's diapers, and another chapel, in Rome, owns a bit of finger that supposedly belonged to Doubting Thomas — you know, the finger Thomas jammed into one of Christ's wounds. Well, neither of those compares to the good, clean fun Sydney Sweeney is offering as a personal relic you could own yourself: her bathwater. Well, sort of. The actress has teamed with Dr. Squatch, manufacturer of 'natural manly soap,' for a new bar called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss. 'We created a limited-edition soap infused with her ACTUAL bathwater,' the company said in a social media post. 'Why? Because y'all wouldn't stop asking. And Sydney said, 'Let's do it.'' And of course, the company says it 'smells like morning wood.' Purchasers must be 18 or older, which doesn't necessarily suggest good, clean fun. It's officially available June 6.

'Fans always joke about wanting my bath water,' she said. 'I was like, 'This is just such a cool way to have a conversation with the audience and give them what they want.' But then also hopefully encourage them to take care of themselves in a healthy way.' (She also said she's seen Saltburn and recognizes that movie's bathwater scene 'probably has been a huge catalyst' for her bathwater.) The actress said that she owns a bar of the soap and used it herself the very morning of the interview, but she used it in a shower. The bathwater, she said, came only from the Dr. Squatch photoshoot. 'They had a tub for me,' she said. 'And I actually got in there and I took some soap, and we had a nice little bath, and they took the water. So it's my real bath water.' At least that's cleaner than an ancient severed finger.
