Jodie Comer emotionally admits 'I let myself down' as she discusses 'uncomfortable' incident in a male-led acting workshop
Jodie Comer has recalled an incident in a male-led acting workshop that left her feeling 'uncomfortable' and scared to speak up.
The actress, 32, emotionally admitted 'I let myself down' after not raising her concerns with his behaviour straight away.
In British GQ's Heroes summer Issue, she explained: 'There was just an energy in the way he was leading the workshop that made us all feel a little uncomfortable.'
While she gave very vague details of the ordeal, Jodie insisted the whole group in the workshop felt 'muted' and 'stunned by it'.
'We were all looking at each other as if to say, This doesn't feel quite right, [but] it probably got to 15 minutes too long before someone said, "You know what, why don't we leave this here?" We all felt like we'd muted ourselves. We were stunned by it.

'It's suppression. Can I? Should I? Those little moments that show up where I think, Wow, I let myself down. I'm just trying to honour myself a little bit more', she added.
Jodie flashed her lacy underwear as she posed up a storm in the very risqué cover shoot, while holding a cigarette.
On the front cover of the magazine, she flashed her toned figure in a thigh-high split black dress.
In another shot, Jodie slipped into black suspenders and covered her top half with an oversized navy jumper.
It comes after Jodie admitted she was 'scared' while filming new zombie thriller 28 Years Later.
The actress stars as Isla in the upcoming film, the wife of Aaron Taylor-Johnson 's scavenger character Jamie.
And while the Dany Boyle-directed flick is intended to petrify movie fans, Jodie has told how despite starring in the film, she was left startled herself as she insisted that one 'can't fake' the emotions she exhibited on screen.
Speaking in a featurette ahead of the film's release later this month, Jodie explained: 'Being on a Danny Boyle set, I found it to be the most amazing experience. The relationship that the camera seemed to be having with the characters and the story and seeing how that comes to life.
'I was quite taken aback because I felt like I'd spent a lot of time outdoors in the beautiful locations and then all of a sudden, I'm being chased. I was scared - there is a kind of tension within it, you can't fake it. When you're in these high intensity situations, it's exhilarating, it's thrilling, it's terrifying.'
She went on to add of the film's director: 'I think what Danny brings to this genre is humanity and emotion.'
It comes as Danny dropped a huge revelation about Cillian Murphy's fate in the movie.
The original film 28 Days Later starred Cillian, 49, as a bicycle courier who wakes up from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus that has caused the breakdown of society.
But despite frenzied speculation that he would be reprising his role in this sequel, when the trailer came out in December, one character appeared to resemble a zombified form of Cillian's character Jim from the first film.
However, this theory was quickly shut down when a London art dealer and model revealed he was the one playing the zombie character.
But now Danny has confirmed that Cillian will make an appearance in the second and third films of the new trilogy. He is also serving as executive producer.
Speaking about Cillian's role in the new post-apocalypse thriller, Danny told IGN: 'He is in the second one', adding: 'I shouldn't give away too much – I'll get killed.'
'There is a kind of tension within it, you can't fake it. When you're in these high intensity situations, it's exhilarating, it's thrilling, it's terrifying'

He went on to say: 'We haven't got the money for the third one yet. It will depend how the first one does, I guess. But hopefully if we do OK, they'll give us the go-ahead for the money and for the third one. Everybody's standing by for that, really, including Cillian.'
The much-anticipated release of 28 Years Later is just days away, with fans left waiting two decades to discover the next instalment in the film series.
And with the nation devastated by the Rage virus nearly three decades ago, this new movie - released on June 19 - will offer insight into the vastly different ways humanity has adapted to survive.
The film is set on the real-life island of Lindisfarne, which is only accessible through a causeway during low tide.
The Heroes Issue of British GQ is available via digital download and on newsstands on June 10.

Glen Powell's ex blames Sydney Sweeney cheating rumours for their split saying ‘I hope they're in love'
GLEN Powell's ex Gigi Paris has broken her silence on their split more than two years after their relationship ended. Actor Glen, 36, and model Gigi, 32, broke up after three years together in 2023 amid rumors of a romance between him and his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney. 3 3 3 Speaking to Emma Klipstein on the Too Much podcast, Gigi - while not naming her ex or 27-year-old Sydney - slammed Glen for failing to put the fan speculation to bed at the time. She said: 'It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. 'I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f***?' 'Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do… I was shattered.' Both Glen and Sydney, who at the time was engaged to Jonathan Davino, have denied anything happened between them and actually admitted to playing on the rumors to ensure maximum publicity for the movie. Glen previously told the New York Times: 'That's people wanting what's on the screen, off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully.' Now Gigi has slammed her ex for refusing to deny the continuous speculation. She said: 'Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' 'That's all that needed to be said. And that wasn't said ... Never once. "It was serving them for their PR. Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy.' And she admitted at the time she hoped Glen and Sydney would end up together so her break-up wasn't for nothing. She added: 'I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot.'

Love Island All Star flogs her wardrobe on Vinted – with items priced from a tenner
A LOVE Island pocket rocket has got fans in a fashion frenzy after shifting her old wardrobe on Vinted. The bombshell has put some of her pre-worn clothes on the selling site - with items going for a very affordable price. 9 9 9 9 Reality star and influencer Kady McDermott has thrilled followers by putting her clobber up for grabs for as little as a tenner on the second hand platform. She told followers on social media: "Shop my Vinted," along with an array of pictures of dresses, trousers, tops, sportswear, heels, trainers, shoes, occasionwear and ski gear. The former Towie star's for sale collection includes pink MyProtein size 6 leggings for £10 and a size 8 Distressed Denim Mini Dress from H:ours for £55. Amongst other penny-pinching steals, there's a size 8 Metallic Drape Bandeau Mini Dress for £190 from Retrofête and a size 8 Pretty Little Thing Distressed Faux Leather Biker Racer Jacket for £12. There's an XS Six Stories White Trouser Suit going for £60 and a Lavish Alice Rose Pink Dress, which has never been worn and has its original tags, size 6 for £50. The star is giving half the profit from threads sold towards a charity close to her heart, Brain Tumour Research. Kady wrote on the charity website: "Nan was the rock of our family… by the time they confirmed it was a brain tumour, there was nothing anyone could do…" She continued: "She was the best nan ever. My dad wasn't around when I was growing up so it was like I had two mums. "Nan lived close by and used to pick me up from school and make cakes for me and my brother Keenan and sister Kirsty. I remember her feeding us until we could hardly move! She was the perfect cook. "Growing up, I was really close to her and would probably tell Nan more about what was going on in my life than Mum. She was always on my side." Kady McDermott SPLITS from millionaire boyfriend & makes brutal 'you can't change bad morals' swipe She admitted: "Apart from a bit of a family history of migraines, which I suffer from too, everyone is pretty fit and healthy in my family. To be honest, I never thought serious illness could happen to us." Kady's official account splits 50% of the profit donated to The Brain Tumour Research Charity - and is run by her management team. It reads: "No refunds. Always posted within time frame. Happy shopping." This comes after Kady has confirmed she is back together with her millionaire ex boyfriend. The brunette beauty is back together with her on/off boyfriend millionaire Henry Simmons. Kady, 29, previously told fans she had caught Henry Simmons, 25, cheating with 'two women she found leaving his house'.

Kady - who originally appeared in the second series of Love Island - made waves in the recent All Stars by having an almighty falling out with fellow contestant Mitch Taylor. The Love Island's season 10 contestants went head to head with Mitch accusing Kady of having a secret boyfriend on the outside. 9 9 9 9 9
