Daisy Edgar Jones is making quite the name for herself in the entertainment world. At just 26 years old, she has already landed leading roles in major Hollywood productions, including a recent blockbuster hit. It all started with her debut on the small screen in the popular TV series Cold Feet. From there, she went on to star in other notable shows like War of the Worlds and Normal People, which earned her recognition and nominations for prestigious awards like the British Academy Television Award and the Golden Globe Award.
But Daisy's success didn't stop there. She also made the jump to the big screen, starring in the film adaptation of the best-selling novel Where the Crawdads Sing and playing a murder victim in the gripping crime miniseries Under the Banner of Heaven. These roles not only showcased her talent as an actress, but also earned her another Golden Globe nomination. And now, she's taking on a new challenge as she stars alongside Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos in the disaster film Twisters.
Despite her rising fame, Daisy has managed to keep her personal life out of the public eye. However, many may not know that she comes from a family with a background in the entertainment industry. Her mother, Wendy, is a former drama film editor who now works in real estate, while her father, Philip, is a well-known figure in the world of entertainment. He is the director of Sky Arts and the head of entertainment at Sky, a role he has held since joining the company in 2012.
During his time at Sky, Philip has commissioned a variety of programs for different channels, including Sky 1, Atlantic, and Arts. Some of his notable shows include Wild Things and Portrait Artist of the Year on Sky Arts. He later took on the overall responsibility for Sky Arts in 2014 and has since commissioned a wide range of programs, from music and art-related shows to innovative productions like the world's first computer-generated musical, Beyond the Fence.
Before his time at Sky, Philip was the creative director of Remarkable Pictures, where he oversaw popular shows like Big Brother and other entertainment projects. He also has a background in presenting, having hosted TV programs like Moviewatch and GamesWorld Live. With his experience and expertise, it's no wonder that Daisy has followed in her father's footsteps and found success in the entertainment industry.
Daisy has always been grateful for her parents' support and encouragement in pursuing her dreams. She credits them for introducing her to the world of acting and helping her secure her first role through an open casting for the National Youth Theatre at just 14 years old. Growing up in a household that valued the arts, she often went to the theater and watched films and TV shows with her family. Her parents also understood the challenges of being self-employed, which is a big part of being an actor, and they supported her without fear.
In an interview with NET-A-PORTER's digital title Porter, Daisy revealed that her dad once gave her "the talk of doom," a conversation he used to have with Big Brother contestants about the realities of fame. She also shared that his advice to keep her feet on the ground and not let success change her has been very useful, as she never wants to lose sight of who she is.
Daisy is an only child and has a close relationship with her parents. In fact, she lived with them until she was 24 years old and joked that they might be sick of her by now. She also considers them to be two of her closest friends, as they have always been there for her and supported her in her career.
