Killing Eve's Jodie Comer would live at home with family until she 'was old and grey'

Jodie Comer has achieved great success in her acting career at just 28 years old.

The talented actress became an icon for teenagers for her role as Chloe Gemell in My Mad Fat Diary, one of the most-hated women in Britain as Kate Parks in Doctor Foster and an international superstar for her role as Villanelle in Killing Eve.

Jodie also shone in her role in hard-hitting Scouse drama Help, where she played a young caregiver at a Liverpool care home during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Emmy winner will be gracing our screens once again as Villanelle in the fourth and final series of Killing Eve, which will air in the UK on BBC One on Monday, February 28.

But despite her success, she's yet to fully move out of her family home in Childwall.

She told OK Magazine in 2019: "There's no place I would rather be than at home in my pyjamas with my brother, watching the telly.

"That is my happy space. If you are working away a lot, you want to get back to reality.

"My family keeps me grounded and I am definitely a home bird."

Back in 2020, she also told The Times she would live with her mum and dad "till she was old and grey".

She told the paper: “I’d live with my mum and dad till I was old and grey if I could.

"(But) I’m definitely looking to move out. I recognise I need my own space and independence. I just don’t want to do it."

Jodie has been working since she was 13, but the actress is a self-proclaimed home bird.

Jodie grew up in Childwall, where she still lives with her mum, dad and brother in their family home whenever she's back in the UK

Her dad is a sports massage therapist for Everton FC and her brother is an analyst for Huddersfield FC.

But despite winning worldwide fame, Jodie still lives at home when she's back in the city, because, as she once put it: “There’s no place I’d rather be”.

Jodie is also set to star opposite Joaquin Phoenix in a Napoleon Bonaparte biopic.

Ridley Scott is directing the movie, called Kitbag, and it will focus on the French Emperor’s love affair with his beloved wife Josephine.
