Earlier this month, she opened up to British GQ about how some of her previous work wasn't as emotionally challenging as she wished. More specifically, 2021's Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds. While she had a great time working on the film, it just wasn't the right choice for her professionally. 'It was my first film and I had the most amazing experience on that job — they were just the most gentle, inclusive, supportive people, and it was incredibly fun," she explained. "But I realized, when I was coming home, Ah, there's something I'm not feeling. I feel like I'm not stretching. Or not discovering. And I realized that it was the emotional part of it. I wasn't exercising [that] part of myself.' Ultimately, Comer said she wants to challenge herself more. "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," she noted. "It feels almost dishonest with myself.'Jodie Comer, 32, Is a Silver Stunner in Metallic Gown on the Red Carpet first appeared on Parade on Jun 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

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.'

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 Comer's unusual ways he chooses new roles after eye-opening moment
Killing Eve legend Jodie Comer has revealed the usual way she chooses new roles, admitting she follows her instincts nowadays as she prepares to tour with a play Jodie Comer says she relies on her instincts when choosing new roles to play. The actor, 32, will be in a touring version of the play Prima Facie and stars in new post-apocalyptic horror sequel 28 Years Later. Looking back on her work in Free Guy, a 2021 action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds, she says it gave her a moment of clarity about her career: 'It was my first film and I had the most amazing experience on that job – they were just the most gentle, inclusive, supportive people, and it was incredibly fun… But I realised, when I was coming home, Ah, there's something I'm not feeling. I feel like I'm not stretching. Or not discovering. And I realised that it was the emotional part of it. I wasn't exercising [that] part of myself.' Speaking to GQ, she added: 'I realised that's actually where I get my fulfilment – trying to find those places. 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.' In 28 Days Later a virus called 'rage' has obliterated the country. But in real life she struggles to summon up her own rage and it often turns to another emotion. Jodie said: 'I've realised my own [rage] just immediately goes to a very emotional place – my anger can so quickly go to tears. I think I swallow it as well,. I think, as women, we suppress it and that's probably why I have trouble accessing it – I've done that so much that it feels kind of foreign, like I'm not quite sure where to pull it from.' The actor, who is best known for playing Villanelle in BBC spy series Killing Eve previously starred in a run of Prima Facie in London's West End in 2022. It follows the story of a barrister named Tessa, who specialises in defending men accused of sexual assault, and whose view of the legal system changes after she is sexually assaulted herself. Speaking about the reaction to the play from men, she said: "I imagine it's quite confronting, I don't know. Maybe also, when they read what it's about, they think, 'well, that's not something that's directed at me'. "I imagine, for a man, it will force them to look back at their own behaviour, which I imagine would be - or could be - potentially very uncomfortable. But (sexual assault) isn't 'a woman's issue', you know what I mean?" She added that a male police officer who had visited the show wrote a letter to the production afterwards. Jodie said: "I don't think I've had a deep, meaningful conversation with many men about the play, actually. "I do know there was a male police officer that came in one night, and he wrote in to the production. "He was kind of saying, 'this is me - I see myself, and I recognise the kind of work that needs to be done as a police officer'." The actor, who is best known for playing Villanelle in BBC spy series Killing Eve, said many women had contacted the production after seeing it to share their personal stories. Speaking about the interactions, she explained: "It's so beautiful, and it's so rare, for someone to look you in the eyes and share something of themselves, and there's so much that isn't said, but even in just the briefest of moments, it's like, 'that was me, or, I feel that'." * The Heroes Issue of British GQ is available via digital download and on newsstands on 10th June..
