Daisy Ridley, the talented actress known for her role as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, has recently opened up about an injury she sustained while filming her latest project. The injury, a chest injury, is still affecting her and has not fully healed. The project in question is the biographical drama Young Woman and the Sea, in which Daisy plays Gertrude Ederle, an American swimming champion.
The movie follows the inspiring story of Ederle, who made history by becoming the first woman to swim 21 miles across the English Channel in 1926. As expected, the role required Daisy to spend a lot of time in the water, which ultimately led to some health problems. At the movie's premiere in London, Daisy shared with The Agency that she faced multiple injuries while shooting in the water.
She also mentioned that her experience was similar to Halle Bailey's, who starred as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Halle reportedly spent up to 13 hours a day underwater while filming, something Daisy admitted she had no idea how they managed. Despite the challenges, Daisy is proud of her work in Young Woman and the Sea and believes it was worth it.
Daisy's journey as an actress has been a successful one, with her most notable role being Rey in the Star Wars franchise. However, with success comes its own set of challenges, as Daisy revealed in a recent interview. She explained that her body physically reacted to the stress and anxiety that came with her career milestone, causing her to develop a condition called leaky gut.
During the promotional tour for the first Star Wars film in 2015, Daisy's body was exhausted from all the traveling and press junkets. She had never experienced anything like it before and was struggling to cope with the newfound attention and fame. However, she eventually learned to manage her stress and accept that she was chosen for a reason.
But just when we thought we wouldn't see Daisy on our screens again, it was announced earlier this year that she would reprise her role as Rey in a new Star Wars movie written by Peaky Blinders creator, Steven Knight. We can't wait to see what Daisy will bring to this new project.
