Nick Frost and Aisling Bea Slay the Red Carpet with Infectious Energy for 'Get Away' Premiere

Paul Riverbank, 1/9/2025Nick Frost and Aisling Bea exuded infectious energy at the UK premiere of their slasher comedy Get Away, playfully posing together and gushing about the thrilling yet humorous ride of filming amidst the movie's darker elements.

Frost, known for his iconic roles in films like Shaun of the Dead, debuted a dapper new look, sporting a neat moustache and stylish tortoiseshell glasses. "Found these in a cupboard. Thoughts?? (I kinda ❤️ them!)" he had teased his Instagram followers the day before, showcasing his newfound spectacles. The 52-year-old actor pulled out all the stops for the premiere, donning a herringbone blazer over a burgundy turtleneck, complemented by smart trousers and leather dress shoes.

Meanwhile, Bea, the 40-year-old Irish comedian, turned heads in a leggy black velvet blazer-style dress adorned with eye-catching silver buttons. Her ensemble was further elevated by sheer polka dot tights, red suede Mary Janes, and several gold seashell earrings—a nod to the film's island setting.

As they struck playful poses back-to-back and shared a warm embrace, the duo's infectious energy was palpable. "We would laugh so much all day long and have such a laugh, even among dead body parts and covered in fake blood and stuff like that. Pretty fun job, I have to say," Bea gushed, reflecting on the joyful experience of filming amidst the movie's darker elements.

Get Away, written by Frost himself and directed by Steffen Haars, follows the Smith family—played by Frost, Bea, Maisie Ayres, and Sebastian Croft—as they embark on a holiday to the small Swedish island of Svälta. Despite warnings from mainlanders to avoid the island during the Karantan festival, the family proceeds with their plans, only to encounter hostile locals and a sinister undercurrent.

Frost, who admitted to finding a sense of "relaxation" in horror films, drew inspiration from the 1992 mockumentary Man Bites Dog and Lars von Trier's 1998 dark comedy The Idiots. "I really like films where [the] get to a point when something is revealed about these characters that you've kind of enjoyed along the way, and then you're given the option as an audience, whether or not do you now hate these people, or do you still kind of like them," he explained.

While Frost reveled in the genre's familiarity, Bea confessed to being easily spooked. "I genuinely get scared all the time from everything," she admitted to PA, adding, "There's currently a rumour [that] there is a mouse in my house and I don't really want to go home tonight—so I'm not great with fear as a genre." Yet, she found solace in the behind-the-scenes camaraderie, noting that being "inside it" made the experience less daunting.

With its blend of horror and comedy, Get Away promises a unique cinematic experience—one that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats while simultaneously tickling their funny bones. As the film hits UK screens on January 10 via Sky Cinema, moviegoers can expect a wild ride filled with laughter, suspense, and perhaps a few unexpected twists along the way.
