Daisy Edgar-Jones recently shared some news that may disappoint her fans. The talented actress was set to play Carole King in the upcoming biopic based on the hit West End show, "Beautiful." However, it seems that the project has taken a different direction as Daisy revealed in a recent interview that she is no longer a part of it.
The reason for her departure from the film is still unclear, but it seems that it was a decision made by the production team a year ago. Despite being confirmed for the lead role in 2022, Daisy will no longer be playing Carole King. Instead, she has been focusing on her upcoming film, "Twisters," where she stars alongside Glen Powell in an action-packed blockbuster.
During the promotion of "Twisters," Daisy was asked about the status of her role in "Beautiful." In an interview with Variety, she shared, "That's no longer happening. I love Carole and I love that story, but it was a year ago that they decided to no longer pursue it." She also mentioned that she had trained for the role and had even learned how to play the piano, but the script needed more time to be developed.
Daisy also revealed that she had the opportunity to meet Carole King via Zoom and was starstruck by the iconic musician. She said, "I get so starstruck by musicians, much more than actors, and Carole was one where it was quite hard to keep my cool." It was evident that Daisy was passionate about the project and was disappointed that it did not work out.
However, Variety added an Editor's Note stating that the film is still in development, but without Daisy's involvement. Apparently, her deal was not yet finalized and the writers and actors strike in 2020 caused further delays.
Since her breakout role in "Normal People" in 2020, Daisy has become a rising star in the industry. Her talents were recognized by Carole King herself, who expressed her excitement to see Daisy portray her on screen. Despite some backlash from fans about the casting of a non-Jewish actress, Carole told Variety, "Daisy has a spirit and energy that I recognized as myself when I was younger. She's a tremendous talent and I know she's going to give a great performance."
The Agency has reached out to Daisy and Playtone Productions for comment on her departure from the project. It's unfortunate that Daisy will no longer be a part of "Beautiful," but we look forward to seeing her in other projects in the future.
