Daisy Edgar-Jones

Daisy Edgar-Jones is a British actress. She gained recognition through her appearances in television series such as Normal People (2020) and Under the Banner of Heaven (2022).

Career

Daisy Edgar-Jones made her acting debut in 2016 with the TV series Outnumbered. She then got highlighted in the English parody TV series titled Cold Feet in that same year.

After the success of her debut, she managed to secure a bigger role in the TV series Silent Witness a year later. Around that time, she was also in the creation group named National Youth Theater.

In 2019, she got her first recurring role in the TV series Gentleman Jack. Her next venture that year was the lead job in the hit TV series Normal People.

The series was adapted from a popular book written by Sally Rooney with the same title, and it was her first time playing a lead role since her debut.

After her fame peaked, she was featured in English Vogue’s rundown of compelling women in 2020. It was a huge achievement considering she had only been around for four years.

Besides TV series, she also acted on the big screen. Some of the movies she starred in include Where the Crawdads Sing (2022), Fresh (2022), Albion (2020), and Pond Life (2018).

Quotes

“It’s certainly been a wild few years. It’s strange when you go from being just Daisy, to being a full name, to being Daisy Edgar-Jones.”

“I think we’ve all felt like an outsider at times. It’s a very human experience. I’m drawn to those characters, but I am also drawn to stories that celebrate profound relationships that come into our life.”

“I love acting because I like disappearing. I like thinking somebody’s else’s thoughts and departing from myself. And so when you get famous in any way, it’s a funny concept to get your head around. But I think if you have great people around you, who see you as you are and who will always see you that way, then you will be fine.”

“People always say actors must be good at lying, but actually I think acting is completely truthful.”

“I think people-pleasing is maybe a very female experience. I’m trying to learn how to be what is known as compassionately direct. It’s a way that you can be generous with your spirit and be kind and nice to work with but also ask for what you need.”

“I want to continue to work with film-makers I admire… I like being part of somebody else’s vision and giving myself over to that experience.”
