Daisy Edgar-Jones opens up

Edgar-Jones told Elle magazine that she has worked alongside "basically all of the internet’s boyfriends”.

"I’m lucky that every actor I’ve worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead," she stated, while giving names of actors like Paul Mescal, Glen Powell and Sebastian Stan.

Hailing her co-actors, she stated that this could be the reason why these people in the industry are "so successful and so loved and so good."

Calling them "generous," she added that they look forward to serving the story rather than serving themselves.

Edgar-Jones came into the spotlight after starring in the 2020 romantic psychological drama series Normal People as Marianne Sheridan. It was the official adaptation of Sally Rooney’s popular novel of the same name.

She featured in Normal People along with Gladiator II fame actor Paul Mescal. The two stars garnered praise for their roles and later went on to gain global recognition.

Apart from this, she worked with Glen Powell in 2024 film Twisters as well as Sebastian Stan in horror-thriller Fresh, which was released in 2022.
