[@joefriedman9843]

Villanelle might be the best character on tv right now. I loved her in Free Guy too and can't wait to see The Last Duel. She's about to be one of the biggest actresses on the planet. So much talent.

[@RB-lc8lh]

She might not if she stays in England. But please, please, don't move to Hollywood and get destroyed there. She is such a nice person.

[@abbybia3113]

She will not be crush. She is a strong, solid soul type.

[@mikkifarmer9626]

Jodie Comer is a brilliant actress who truly deserves all of the praise that she receives. Killing Eve has made Miss Comer a household name and it’s a shame that the show has come to an end because Jodie Comer has made the show so enjoyable to watch. I wish Jodie Comer continued success.

[@iamsupergirl]

I love how an interviewer is such a fangirl here, totally understandable, Jodie is absolutely phenomenal, such a great chat.

[@mb07]

The moment where the screen shows jodie and she’s having her hand on her chin..that flawless skin and her beautiful smile. My heart skipped a beat❤

[@vector99999]

I can not find ways not to love this woman. She's like the most amazing human being. But sometimes she's so child like but at the same time so cold and poised. Her voice is angelic and accents are so strange. She's fully grown beautiful young lady but she's still a little girl living in her parents' home. Literally. In a word, I love her so much. ❤

[@tintheparktinthepark7976]

I see her like that two, both child and very sure of herself, cold and lovely at the same time

[@luxwolf8858]

It's the Monroe effect.

[@gabyb8121]

She’s phenomenal, all the praise and attention is so well deserved. I saw her in the theatre for Prima Facie and she was incredible. I’m so excited to see what she does next. And she seems so authentic too.

[@albertotoddie]

So agree! Taking on the challenge of a 1 Woman play inhabiting three characters w most difficult-& timely- subject matter...just amazing!! It will be our privilege to have her grace theater in US! Would enjoy seeing the creation of this role. Despite her passing, I can’t help but think of her Grandmother & how proud she must be of her character as a person.

[@KirbykbEeZY]

She seems like such a lovely person. A beautiful person inside and out and such a magnificent actress! She’s certainly up there with the best in my opinion. I’m excited to follow her career journey.

[@smithontwins]

I hope to see her doing more drama because she has the ability to bring intense emotions.

[@leeloodallas6949]

So sad she didn't get to do Kitbag but so glad she did Prima Facie. She always wanted to do theater and it finally happened and the reception has been exceptional. I hope she works again with Ridley Scott in the future.

[@rachellebeers]

She seems like such an authentic person! Love this!

[@charlotteduckworth8558]

SHE IS 🥺😭🥺😭🥺😭😭😭😭😭

[@rachellebeers]

@@charlotteduckworth8558 that’s probably why she is my absolute favorite. So grounded!

[@charlotteduckworth8558]

@@rachellebeers same she is my bae

[@leeloodallas6949]

I like how she is now doing most of the things she said she wanted to do. She will be executive producer for Big Swiss and I think The end we start from can be a little bit in the sci-fi category.

[@ccclaymoreee]

I am feeling very close to Jodie cause of definitely 2 reasons; first: is her human side, latter: she is SO EAGER to learn new things, develop herself, get mentoring from her valued people and nourish herself of it. I love her perspective. She is so hungry for her better self. Beautiful inside out. So honest and true. Love her family bonds. Love her strong fate belief. and also love her attitude for the things, she always take all questions very serious and give very long-thoughful answers.

[@leylacort1979]

Jodie is amazing she is so stunning

[@jwwelder07]

The best actress I will never stop watching to act!

[@gb4478]

Contrast her with those "stars" who don't want crew members to look them in the eyes. She is such a lovely, down to earth person! I look forward to seeing her in other great roles.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

She's truly the most talented person out there right now.

[@barbaralawlor5967]

Jodie and Sarah Paulson in a series would be fantastic

[@CarolTorrespsi]

Pleeeease!!!

[@metzmunoz3876]

A dream 🤩

[@ninii910]

Oh, amazing. I also think about that. Imagine when they're together, haha, I think we will have so much fun.

[@unsung-715]

And also Tatiana maslany

[@littlegenius5366]

35:00 - “I’m still waiting, guys”. Do you hear, HOW she say that?😂 How can you not love this woman! She is my obsession❤️

[@check7737]

She's like Villanelle when she says that specific line then afterwards go back to her original accent. Killing Eve is really eating me up especially the ending. I just can't get over with it.

[@perspicator5779]

THE NEW JAIME BOND! You heard it here first folks! She could do it sooooo easily! Have you seen all her modeling pictures? Girl can wear ANYTHING! So stunningly gorgeous too!

[@warrior100girl]

We don't need a female bond. She should not be a victim of woke trash

[@laurenneal]

Queen Comer!

[@thatgirl6158]

At this point I am really hoping vogue can make a "Beauty secret" video so I can know her facial routine. I want all that glow. Lol

[@charleyc2501]

she uses noble pancea I think and its costs a bomb

[@abrilreyessandoval7858]

Great interview! Smart questions, the interviewer actually delved into Jodie's answers, she seemed comfortable and both of them got involved in such a nice conversation.

[@ewelllle]

„Independent film with a sci fi element, something very present day but like very rooted to humanity“ literally screams for a Brit Marling x Jodie crossover😭🙏

[@vivolendo]

That's a very well deserved award!

[@heike4781]

I love this interview between those great women ❤ It’s one of my absolutely favourites and I‘ve already looked at it several times 🥰 Maybe there will soon be a new one with Emma and Jodie 🙏🙏

[@KelleyG-mj8vy]

I may be a biased Canadian but this interviewer was phenomenal.

[@arimg4495]

She was so brilliant in 13 and I loved when Mad Fat Diary started to explore her character more from a vulnerable side... Personally, I didn't like Doctor Foster so much as a show but that doesn't have anything to do with her acting skills... In the last Duell and the white princess she was brilliant as well... And OF COURSE as Villanelle who will be my favourite character ever ❤❤ also in The end we start from she plays very well, I love her character Mother and I would have enjoyed if the film had been 1h longer or so...I'm so much looking forward to Big Swiss and I hope it will be a thing! I've listened to the audiobook and loved it and I'm so excited to see Jodie in that role!! ❤ I hope, she will be in really big films and receive an oscar!! She certainly has the talent for it! 😊

[@freya1710]

Help is rlly good too, have u seen it?

[@fliprim]

"Home" was sensational. Jack Thorne is a superb writer, perhaps not quite achieving the peaks of a Phoebe Waller-Bridge, but broader of vision. Jodie and Stephen Graham took a slightly flawed script, found the real juice in it and created fantastic television.

[@karisalmon3234]

What a spectacular talent and a magnificent human being ❣️

[@M.M.424]

Damn...this is a really solid interview. Good job

[@Realbloxxcrafts]

Blanchett... Winslet... Comer... heavy breathing

[@RB-lc8lh]

I LOVE Jodie Comer as a person and as an actress, but please keep your interviews with your natural hair and little makeup like here. You are beautiful as you are and so natural! The last interview I saw with her she had so much makeup on and Hollywoodized hair she could have been a Stepford Wife. Don't let Hollywood get to you!!!

[@alienteknology5390]

I agree. Her look here is absolutely perfect. Very minimal makeup that allows her natural beauty to shine through. Her lips & eyes are very prominent components of her appeal & need little, if any embellishment. My first reaction when this interview began was 'my god! Look at her hair!' Long, natural & feminine.

[@karisalmon3234]

Extraordinary talent and just an amazing human being❣️

[@M.M.424]

I would like to see her in films a la Angelina and Charlize. Strong, smart equal roles.

[@mumneperme1575]

Great interview 👍

[@picklecaterpillar]

I really like jodie, she’s such a nice person and I can’t find anything to not like. I feel the same way about sandra too haha

[@martensjd]

A musical? I'd love to see Jodie Comer in Bollywood.

[@10animallover10]

Is it just me or is Jodie wearing a deathly hallows symbol pendant around her neck? o.o Or is it a normal triangle? I couldn't stop to notice :) Yeah, 'Help' touched me, too.. I too work in care homes (but then not for teh elderly but with people with multiple disabilities, as in both fysically and mentally). Only since last september but still. And it warmed my heart to see how they all portrayed it and how Jodie and all the other cast acted. What ai great interview :) I love how comfprtable they both are. It was a joy to watch and listen to :)

[@M.M.424]

Just make a movie... fix the ending and all will be well.

[@M.M.424]

I can't help but wonder since unless Jodie lives in a cave she must have some idea on how the ending affected a large majority of the K&E fan base and would these answers still be the ones she would give today?

[@freya1710]

well it’s not entirely her fault how the show ended, i kinda think it was right tbh… like i loved vilanelle ofc but it felt right

[@Takecareofyourbusiness]

Yeah we still wait fiona show pilot LOL . Jodie really means what she says? great idea to change showrunner each season, season 4 great.... WORST FINALE EVER. dont be a dick
