The Bikeriders star Jodie Comer makes accent admission as she says 'it's the hardest'

Jodie Comer has explained how she adapted her Liverpool accent for new film, The Bikeriders.

The 31-year-old's latest film arrives in UK cinemas tomorrow and sees her adopt a Chicago accent. The Scouse superstar has shown a flair for accents during her career on the TV series, Killing Eve.

In a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she has revealed the Chicago accent has been the toughest one to get right so far. She said: "I would say that Kathy's accent is probably the hardest one that I've done. I was given 30 minutes with the real Kathy being interviewed by Danny Lyon, and I was so struck by how singular and unique her dialect and cadence was.

"So I started working with a dialect coach, Victoria (Hanlin), and she told me, 'All the vowel sounds are a contradiction. This is something that is entirely her own.'

"And I said, 'I want to get as close to the audio as I possibly can.'" Jodie features in the film opposite Tom Hardy's motorcycle club leader Johnny as she attempts to protect her husband Benny (Austin Butler) from his influence and was wowed by the star's "unpredictable" approach to acting.

Jodie added: "I would say that he's quite unpredictable and very spontaneous. He has a real technical awareness that I've not seen before. He has this innate understanding of the camera and the lens, and what it needs and what will work for it. So that's something really cool that I hadn't seen before."

Jodie is also set to appear in the horror sequel '28 Years Later' and is grateful for the chance to collaborate with director Danny Boyle.

She said: "It's a brilliant script. It's just so brilliant to be working with Danny and Alex (Garland, screenwriter) and being on set with Danny and the crew. They're all so innovative and excitable and playful.

"I feel so fortunate to be working with Danny. I would work with him for the rest of my life if I had any say in that."
