Daisy Edgar-Jones recently shared her experiences in a candid interview with Elle Magazine. She’s grateful for the supportive relationships she’s formed with her male co-stars. Starting with Paul Mescal in "Normal People," she’s since acted alongside notable names like Sebastian Stan and Andrew Garfield. She humorously remarked that it feels like she has "worked with all of the internet’s boyfriends," with only Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler left on her wish list.
In the interview, Edgar-Jones noted how fortunate she has been. “Every actor I’ve worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead,” she explained. She emphasized the importance of collaboration in storytelling. Her co-stars, like Glen Powell, consistently focused on the character’s journey over their own ambitions. She expressed some nervousness about encountering someone less accommodating in the future, given the often-strong egos in the film industry.
Harris Dickinson echoed these sentiments, commenting on her kindness and patience. He praised her ability to create a soothing environment on set, which he believes enhances her skills as an artist. Such qualities help her remain connected to the characters she portrays.
Edgar-Jones also discussed the evolving landscape of female representation in film. She expressed a desire to take on roles that are multifaceted and rich, rather than those that merely fit traditional molds. “I want every character I play to be complicated and deep,” she stated. She referenced her role in "Twisters," pointing out that the character’s growth went beyond just romance.
This shift towards more complex female characters reflects broader trends in Hollywood. In recent years, there’s been a noticeable rise in films centering on women, both in front of and behind the camera. According to a report from the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, the percentage of women in lead roles has increased to over 30%. This change comes as audiences continue to demand more diverse and authentic storytelling.
Edgar-Jones’ upcoming film, "On Swift Horses," is set to open on April 25, showcasing her ongoing journey as an actress. You can read more about her insights and journey in the full interview available on Elle’s website.
