Daisy Edgar-Jones, best known for her role in Normal People, is taking on a new challenge in the film Twisters. In a recent interview with BBC News, the 26-year-old British actress expressed her love for her character in Normal People and hinted at the possibility of revisiting it in the future.
Since her breakout role in Normal People, Edgar-Jones has been busy with projects like Fresh, Where the Crawdads Sing, and now Twisters. The pandemic-induced fame has been surreal for her, but she’s starting to embrace it as she delves into bigger projects.
In Twisters, a sequel to the 1996 hit film, Edgar-Jones plays the role of Katie Cooper, a retired storm chaser with a haunted past. The film explores themes of climate change and extreme weather events, prompting viewers to think about our impact on the planet.
Working alongside Hollywood heartthrob Glen Powell, Edgar-Jones brings her signature introspective charm to the character of Katie. Despite the heavy themes of the film, she managed to find joy in the experience, even if it meant running awkwardly across fields and indulging in new cuisine.
As Edgar-Jones navigates the world of cinema, she remains grounded and light-hearted, ready for whatever comes her way. Whether it’s revisiting past roles or taking on new challenges, she’s open to the possibilities that lie ahead.
Fans can catch Twisters in UK cinemas on July 17, and witness Edgar-Jones’ transformative performance on the big screen.
