Daisy Ridley Says "Nothing Can Prepare You" For How Star Wars Changes Your Life
Nearly nine years ago, Daisy Ridley made her first appearance as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens before reprising her role in the two sequels that followed. More recently, Ridley signed on to return as Rey in another sequel that will begin a new era for the Jedi. That film will inevitably feature new cast members who will undergo the same life-changing events that Ridley went through she joined the franchise. During a recent interview with Empire, Ridley reflected on how being cast as Rey changed the trajectory of her life.
"There was a lot of love and protection," said Ridley. "I can’t really remember that well — it was ten years ago. There was a lot of support given, but nothing can really prepare you for what you’re going to go through on an individual level."
"I think when everything actually happened, I stayed at home and sort of was like, 'Okay!' There’s a craziness, and then everything goes away again, which is great," added Ridley. "For all the people going, 'Your life is going to change,' it did in some ways, and then you just go to your mum's house and you're like, 'Okay, this is nice.' Having such a solid foundation was the absolute best thing for me. Obviously, on a professional scale, things changed, and [in terms of ] anonymity, things change, but only actually really briefly. There were a lot of changes, but also many things stayed the same."
