Is there anything Jodie Comer can’t do? We’re beginning to doubt it after seeing the actress’s emotionally-charged performance in her latest film The End We Start From. In an apocalyptic story of survival, Jodie plays a mother fleeing a flooded London with her newborn baby.
And as we have come to expect from the Liverpool-born star, she steals every scene she’s in (which is all of them) with her gripping performance.
This latest role may be a million miles away from Villanelle, the character she played in Killing Eve, but Jodie, 30, plays a panic-stricken mother just as convincingly as she does a Russian assassin. When we chat to her over Zoom, Jodie – who split from her American lacrosse player boyfriend James Burke last year – admits she relied heavily on parenting insights from friends who have recently had babies.
The down-to-earth star tells us why a bout of Covid threw the production of her new movie – which also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Joel Fry and Gina McKee – into chaos, and how she’s not sure she would survive an apocalypse in real life… Your new film is all about a mother’s fight for survival.
Do you feel like a survivor in real life? I think so. I think there are little moments within my life, on a very personal level, where I feel like I’ve survived things, but nothing of this magnitude.
I think there are definitely little things within my personal life where I would think, “Well, I got through that.” Maybe the word “survivor” is a little extreme, but there are definitely moments to be proud of, where I’ve pushed through something that I didn’t think I could prior to the fact. So, yeah… a little bit.
