“Jamie has changed my life. Since I started playing it eight years ago, everything has completely changed. Until then, I was a normal actor; you know, towards theater, television… But Jamie really changed my world, he’s given me a lot of opportunities, I’ve been able to create my own projects, write, produce… He’s an incredible character that I’ve been growing up with, living with many experiences, I have grown old with him… It has been an incredible challenge to play him.”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAM HEUGHAN!

"I'd get up at like four in the morning. I'd write for about four or five hours. She'd come in, read what I'd written. She'd tell me what was good, what was bad. And we kind of pieced it together, the two of us, in a little barn in the countryside. And then it's just grown from there. I'm incredibly proud of it."
"It's one of the most rewarding experiences. Daisy is one of my favorite actors and being able to write to what I know her strengths are was so rewarding because I could be really daring and bold and write a whole scene, no dialogue, just her character's thoughts. Sam, our director, agreed. He said, 'man, you could just stick a camera on Daisy and she's got it going and she can hold that.' So it was super rewarding."
—Daisy Ridley's husband Tom Bateman speaking at SXSW

"We did one without [a kiss]. Hilariously, Adam had to wrap and literally got up from that scene, which was so emotional and everything, and was like, 'Bye guys! I'm going to New York.' I feel like we all— it felt earned. And what was interesting again is intentionality. My feeling in that moment was it was a goodbye. So that felt earned. Because you can call a kiss a thousand things, but I felt it was a goodbye. And that whole scene felt so emotional. I felt I was saying goodbye to the job. And then, actually, we had to pick-up something that was missed. So on my very, very last day — and we were doing various pick-ups and stuff — I had to literally sit and look when the camera was coming away from me, and I guess I was looking at him [Ben]. J.J. [Abrams] was like, 'you good?' Literally, immediately started crying my eyes out because it really felt like goodbye."
—Daisy Ridley on her last scene with Adam Driver in The Rise of Skywalker

do you watched murder at orient express and ophelia?
Hello Anon! Thanks for the ask.
Yes, I've watched both Murder on the Orient Express and Ophelia. I actually really enjoyed both. She's done so many period pieces, it's interesting how only now she's doing films set in current times.
I do hope, like Tom, she works with Sir Kenneth Branagh again at some point. I know he loves inviting cast and crew back when he enjoyed working with them and it seems like they both had a good experience.
It's interesting to watch those earlier movies and see how she's only grown as an actor since then 💜
