Be afraid, be very afraid – and not just because our favourite female assassin is back on TV. Jodie Comer – who plays psychopath Villanelle in BBC smash Killing Eve – believes her murderous character is starting to rub off on her.
The 27-year-old has admitted that she admires Villanelle’s dark sense of humour and her fierce independence. She said: “She may be a cold-blooded killer, but you can also appreciate that her victims perhaps deserve to die. “She doesn’t kill people randomly, there’s a reason and conviction behind her actions. “What I think resonates with women is her honesty and unfiltered reactions to others – she lives according to her own set of rules and does as she please.
