Daisy Ridley claims leading Star Wars role slowed down her career
  • last month
The actress played Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy between 2015 and 2019. But instead of propelling her career, it almost brought it to a halt. "There weren't that many offers coming in (after filming the final instalment)," Daisy told an audience at SXSW in Austin, Texas. "It's not that there wasn't any... I remember finishing and thinking, 'Oh, it's quiet and strange.'". The 31-year-old added that it took her a long time to feel "comfortable" in her role as Rey.
