Who is Daisy Ridley?
By: Jake Rajala
Daisy Ridley is one of the most important figures in Star Wars. Of course, her name is Rey. In “Force Awakens”, she is shown using a speeder with “Rey’s theme”, played by John Williams playing in the background. She also uses a stick and looks like a menace with it. Rey also learns to use the force as the films go on. She has a bit of an unexpected romance with Kylo Ren, as well. So, we know about Rey. The question is: what should we know about Daisy Ridley?
She was born in Westminster, London. It roughly has a population of 90k people. It’s home to the “Buckingham Palace”, “Big Ben”, and “London Eye”.
Daisy was a bartender prior to landing her big role. She had humble beginnings, to say the least. She even helped out at a bar at a Star Wars party.
Daisy is 33 years old, so she’s quite young in comparison to Luke Skywalker or any of the other original characters. She also isn’t too old for me! All jokes aside, she has a partner by the name of Tom Bateman. He’s an actor, as well. He’s featured in “Cold Pursuit”, “Death on the Nile”, and many others.
Daisy isn’t a mega millionaire, but she does pretty well for herself. She has a net worth of $9 million dollars.
Besides Star Wars, she has inspired on the big screen. She has been featured in, “Young Woman and the sea”. That follows her playing the Trudy Ederle, who swims across a 21 mile trek across from France to England.
