“I was thinking, ‘But why? Is it because I kept eye contact? “Said Ridley.
Daisy Ridley begins in the February 2021 issue of Tatler magazine (via Yahoo) about being labeled “intimidating” and “quite aggressive” by team members during different productions. Ridley’s career includes three films “Star Wars”, “Murder on the Orient Express”, “Ophelia” and the next action film directed by Doug Liman “Chaos Walking”, among other titles. It was in “Chaos Walking”, where a team member told the actress that she is intimidating.
“I was told I’m intimidating,” said Ridley. “That was on ‘Chaos Walking’. I was doing my hair, putting on my wig. I remember thinking, ‘God, should I be a minor? Should I be quieter? ‘I was also called aggressive. My energy is ‘quite aggressive’. This was during a meeting with a director. “
“I was thinking, ‘But why? Is it because I kept eye contact? Is it because I’m passionate about what we’re talking about? ‘I don’t know, ”Ridley continued. “You have that horrible sinking feeling: ‘God, am I not the way I think I am?'”
“Chaos Walking” stars Ridley alongside Tom Holland, Mads Mikkelsen, Demián Bichir, Cynthia Erivo, Nick Jonas and David Oyelowo. The film has experienced several delays in the launch of Lionsgate, but is expected to open in theaters in 2021 if the pandemic allows. The film could give Ridley his second major support franchise after “Star Wars”.
“When I signed ‘Star Wars’, there was nothing in my contract that said, ‘Your life will be discussed,'” Ridley told Tatler about how to protect his personal life in the press. “I got to the point where I realized that a lot of my life was out there. People knew my mother’s name, my father’s name, what my sisters do for a living. And I thought it would be nice to have something that was for me, that wasn’t for everyone. I just thought about keeping it separate. “
Although Ridley does not talk about her personal life, she is honest with the press about her place in the world of cinema and the reception of her projects. Ridley admitted that outrage over the release of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” was “unsettling” for her, while later saying she was “totally satisfied” with the way her character’s story ended.
“Chaos Walking” is the only project that Ridley set for launch in 2021. Lionsgate has the action epic set for launch on March 5.
