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.'

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.
