Jodie’s caught short by costume changes

STARRING with Hollywood giants Matt Damon and Ben Affleck might sound like a young actress’s dream — but it became a sartorial nightmare for Liverpudlian Jodie Comer.

The Killing Eve star plays Damon’s wife, Marguerite de Carrouges, a historical figure from 14th-century France, in Sir Ridley Scott’s new film, The Last Duel, but admits that the period costume was tricky.

‘When you’re filming in a field, and have to go to the bathroom, and you have 17 layers on, it gets a bit tiresome,’ the 28-year-old actress says. ‘But, all in all, it was amazing.’

Sir Ridley, who made classics such as Gladiator, Blade Runner and Thelma And Louise, was a perfectionist on set.

‘I had a hefty pair of wooden clogs on,’ Comer says. ‘I don’t think you ever see them. Ridley liked the sound they made on cobbles.’
