Daisy Ridley recalls her encounter with Harrison Ford at Indiana Jones 5 premiere
Actress Daisy Ridley appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast where she recalled an incident from Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premiere back in June 2023. She shared that she met Harrison Ford at the premiere and mentioned that it felt weird to her why would the actor remember her even though they did a whole film together. Ridley went on to explain,
“I was like Hey Harrison not sure if you remember me and then was Tongue Tied so I said how are you, really like Shrinking (Apple TV+ show starring Harrison Ford) which by the way was totally true. I was talking to him like I had never met the guy before but I just go when I’m uncomfortable, I go quiet a bit like can’t make eye contact so it’s annoying.”
The actress in an interview with AlloCiné while promoting her movie Sometimes I Think About Dying, recalled her first read-through for a Star Wars movie and explained how she felt the entire time. She said,
“After the read through, me and John Boyega went to rehearse with J.J.Abrams because J.J. was like ‘that was not great’. So we literally had to go and rehearse straight away, because the nerves were so strong. But yes, I was very happy, just sat there between Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.”
Daisy Ridley mentioned in the interview that she enjoyed her time on Star Wars and is very happy that she gets to do it again.
