Jodie Comer gave fans a glimpse of her prosthetic baby bump as she shared behind-the-scenes photos from her new movie The End We Start From.
The Killing Eve actress, 30, took to Instagram on Friday to share a whole gallery of fun snaps from filming as she celebrated the indie film hitting UK cinemas.
She stars opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in the British climate change survival film The End We Start From, which finally hit the big screen on Friday.
Jodie plays a mother named Woman who tries to find a way through the chaos caused by flooding – and she does it with a newborn baby.
And Jodie showed off the prosthetic baby bump she had to wear for the role in her latest Instagram post, posting a photo of herself wearing a robe.

She also shared a photo of herself covered in dirt and wearing a washed-out white shirt as she posed next to makeup artist Marie Deehan.
In another shot, Jodie pouted at the camera as she tucked into a boob-themed donut, brought on set by crew member Lizzie Max.
She also donned a dry robe as they filmed on the beach, while Jodie also included a photo of her rainbow socks and black Crocs, complete with a series of fun badges.
Among the other photos, Jodie also shared a quote from TS Elliot which read: ‘What we call the beginning is often the end and to end is to make a beginning. The end is where we begin.’
To mark the film’s release date, she captioned the album: ‘Our film The End We Start From hits theaters today!
‘A special shout-out to Lizzie Max for helping us create the most deliciously epic booby donuts for our crew and to Marie Deehan for all her beautiful work.’
Jodie’s character Woman is seen with a baby in almost every scene, so due to strict rules regarding children, the actress had to work with 15 different babies, ranging from eight weeks old to young toddlers.
The Liverpudlian star recently revealed she was completely ‘terrified’ of filming with 15 babies on set.

She is no stranger to a challenge, having taken on a host of accents as Villanelle in Killing Eve and starring in the one-woman play Prima Facie on the West End and Broadway, and Jodie said The End We Start From was no exception.
“I literally started this process terrified,” she told the newspaper BBC. ‘My hands were visibly shaking when I met an eight-week-old child on set. I thought, ‘Oh my God, what have I done?’
Babies can only be part of a scene for 20 minutes, meaning Jodie had to get comfortable acting with multiple babies – despite it being her first experience of close contact with children so young.
“It was very eye-opening,” she said. “Many of my younger cousins are grown now, so I haven’t spent much time with young babies.”
Jodie also spoke about dealing with the added pressure of ensuring the babies were safe and comfortable at all times.
She said: ‘It’s one thing to act and think about everything else, but then actually be aware of this precious little creature and make sure they’re safe.’
The film opens in London and details the relationship of Woman and her partner R, as well as scenes of her giving birth.
Rising water means Woman and R, played by Plebs actor Joel Fry, must flee their flooded home. However, after going to his parents’ house to seek shelter, lawlessness and further flooding force them to continue fleeing.

Jodie said she felt like she was following her character’s arc during the filming process – as both she and Woman became overwhelmed by motherhood, but settled later in the film.
“People always say nothing can prepare you for having a child, and that’s exactly where Woman started,” she said.
‘But then you see her come into her own and discover her instincts and nature. It felt like that was happening to me at the same time in real time.”
The End We Start From is now released in UK cinemas.
