Killing Eve's Jodie Comer Talks Sandra Oh, Emmys 2019, Season 3, & More!

Jodie Comer shines alongside her Emmy award on the cover of the latest issue of Variety!

Here’s what the 26-year-old Killing Eve actress had to share with the mag:

On meeting fans who expect her to be like her Killing Eve character: “They’re surprised that I’m nice [and when fans admit they like her character] I’m like, ‘Good. I like that conflict that you’re experiencing when you’re watching television.’ It’s good to make people feel something, and she definitely seems to do that.”

On if competing with co-star Sandra Oh for awards is uncomfortable: “I think people think it’s more awkward than it is. I’ve always said: I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a show that has two female leads that are complex and in the same category. It’s pretty special that we’re both in there together. We’re so celebratory of each other, as is the whole crew. There’s no hard feelings.”

On the blur that was accepting her award on stage: “I actually don’t know what I was thinking. I was in a complete state of shock. During the day I was strangely calm because I didn’t think it would be me. But it also happened so fast. You’re standing in front of all of these people, and you want to say the right thing and don’t want to miss anybody. You want to soak it up, not rush it, and take it all in. I feel like I blabbered on a lot!”

On season 3 of Killing Eve: “I can’t tell you anything — I was sworn to secrecy for Season 3. But what I’m really excited about is the emotions that Eve has stirred up within Villanelle. I think it triggers a lot. There’s still a lot of craziness going on, and Villanelle is up to her old tricks. But I think we’ll definitely see Villanelle in a much deeper sense.”
