Jodie Comer confesses her childhood celebrity crush was this noughties pop icon
Jodie Comer confessed her childhood celebrity crush while promoting her post-apocalyptic zombie film 28 Years Later. The actress, 32, was quizzed on who in the public eye she fancied as a teenager during a recent live audience Q&A session at the Adelphi Theatre in London by Reign podcast host Josh Smith. Revealing the object of her affections was Lee Ryan, now 42, she said: 'Oh God, guys, it was Lee from Blue. Okay, no judgement, I appreciate that. 'Blue were big. I have like pictures from the Echo Arena - surely the Echo Arena was built then. 'But em, Blue T-shirt, bunches, blue hair, you know the lot. Yeah, obviously thinking that he's gonna look at me, and it's gonna be us forever. Yeah, Lee from Blue.' Blue, who formed in 2000, went on to become one of the biggest pop bands of the time with hits like One Love. Jodie put on a show-stopping display in a metallic silver gown at the London premiere of 28 Years Later earlier this month. The actress slipped into the eye-catching dress as she graced the red carpet at London's Odeon Luxe Leicester Square with co-star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 35, on June 18. The release of 28 Years Later - the sequel to Danny Boyle's 2002 film 28 Days Later - has been long-awaited, with fans left waiting two decades to discover the next instalment in the film series. With the nation devastated by the Rage virus nearly three decades ago, the new film - released on June 19 - shows insight into the vastly different ways humanity has adapted to survive. For one such community, this means complete isolation from the outside world, and in a new clip ahead of the film's premiere, star Aaron shares insight into this new addition to the 28 Days Later universe for the first time. In this new land, known as The Holy Island, humans are entirely self-sufficient, and only leave the community to hunt on the mainland, when the tide is low. Aaron plays Jamie a scavenger who is tasked with training his Spike to survive in the wilderness before they embark on a deadly mission to the mainland. Jodie plays Jamie's wife Isla, a woman who is suffering from memory loss and sickness. While the flick is intended to petrify movie fans, Jodie has told how despite starring in the film, she was left startled herself as she insisted that one 'can't fake' the emotions she exhibited on screen. Speaking in a featurette ahead of the film's release later this month, Jodie explained: 'Being on a Danny Boyle set, I found it to be the most amazing experience. 'The relationship that the camera seemed to be having with the characters and the story and seeing how that comes to life. 'I was quite taken aback because I felt like I'd spent a lot of time outdoors in the beautiful locations and then all of a sudden, I'm being chased. 'I was scared - there is a kind of tension within it, you can't fake it. When you're in these high-intensity situations, it's exhilarating, it's thrilling, it's terrifying.'
