Jodie Comer teams up with Ryan Reynolds to front new NHS campaign

Jodie Comer has joined Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds to urge blood donors to come forward as part of a new NHS campaign.

The Killing Eve star and the 44-year-old Canadian actor have fronted a new video campaign which stresses the importance of giving blood for the NHS.

The video, recorded against the backdrop of a film set, sees Reynolds calling for the public to be like his character in the film who "always gives 100% at everything he does".

The 28-year-old scouser then says every donation could save up to three lives.

The actress will star alongside Reynolds in new comedy film Free Guy - which is anticipated to be released later this summer.

The star-studded movie tells the story of a bank teller called Guy who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game and decides to become the hero of his own story.

The NHS clip includes snippets from Free Guy, including a scene in which Reynolds declares: "There's a little hero inside all of us."

Printable badges sporting the logo "I'm a great guy" are also available to download online as part of the campaign.

The NHS is calling for blood donors to come forward if they are O positive, O negative or B negative.

Comer is due to appear in a number of forthcoming TV and film projects, including Sir Ridley Scott's eagerly awaited historical epic The Last Duel, while Reynolds recently completed a takeover of Welsh football club Wrexham with fellow actor Rob McElhenney.
