Daisy Ridley has been in the news again recently as she made an appearance at the US-Ireland Alliance Oscar Wilde Awards. The press were eager to get to talk to the actress now that she has gone from an unknown to a household name since the premiere and initial press tour for The Force Awakens. Breaking News had some of Ridley’s comments.

So how has Daisy’s life changed?

It’s different now because people have seen me in a film but people don’t tend to recognise me that much because I don’t tend to look like this and I’m filming a film which is what I was doing before anyway, everyone really freaked me out but really it’s fine. Simon Pegg said, in the wise words of Han Solo, “here’s where the fun begins” and he just said “enjoy it”, it’s nice because even the days when people recognise you it’s for a good reason.

Daisy also had some comments on the similarities between JJ Abrams and her new director on Episode VIII, Rian Johnson.

They are obviously different in their whole lives but both really kind and you see that in the crew and once again I feel very warm and welcomed into a crew.

Also, EOnline had some comments from director JJ Abrams who revealed that Daisy may just have some other work coming outside of acting. Apparently, she is also quite the singer.

“One day on set, she just started singing and had the most beautiful voice I ever heard,” Star Wars director J.J. Abrams said last night at the U.S.-Ireland Alliance’s Oscar Wilde Awards, where Ridley was among this year’s honorees. Just the other day, Ridley told Abrams, “On Saturday, this weekend, she is going to record a song with an unnamed person, but let’s just say a massive superstar.”

UPDATE!

Also Ridley spoke about her experience filming TFA on Skellig Michael:







Ridley will likely continue to be in the news as she is scheduled to present at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
