    Daisy Edgar-Jones worries about having to work with someone who has an "ego"

    The 26-year-old actress has starred opposite the likes of Jacob Elordi and Glen Powell in recent years since starting up her Hollywood career and while everyone has been "supportive" of her as the lead so far, she is "nervous" for the day she has to work with someone who is not "so chill" about it


    She told ELLE: "I have worked with basically all of the internet's boyfriends. And I'm lucky that every actor has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead. I'm nervous for the point that it comes to working with someone who might not be so chill with it! Because there's so much ego that can exist in this industry."

    Daisy came to prominence with her role in 'Normal People' - an adaptation of Sally Rooney's best-selling novel - and insisted that while she is not "bored" of discussing the hit drama, she is keen to talk about other things now.

    She said: "It isn't that I'm bored of talking about it, because I am so proud of it, I want to find something that connects like that again. I still can't comprehend how widely it reached. Five years on, I'm older now, and I'm keen to talk about other things, too."

    The 'On Swift Horses' star added that she wants to make sure that every role she takes has "layers" within it and that she tries to make sure that they are "complicated and deep" when she brings them to the screen.

    She said: "You want to find characters with agency. It's great that more and more stories are being made with women front and center. It's also an interesting thing, being a woman in your 20s, wanting to find characters who are not always ingenues

    "I want every character I play to be complicated and deep and have layers to them, because that's what it is to be human. Like with Kate in 'Twisters', I know there was a big uproar that there wasn't a kiss at the end. But she went on a journey in that film that was bigger than a romantic journey."
