Daisy Ridley Instagram – “I loved it and it was all very exciting, and then I had that moment of, ‘How didn’t I know of this before?’ I’m getting that response a lot from people. This is a version of the story; Jeff [Nathanson, who wrote the film] has used creative licence, but the fact that the real Trudy did that swim and paved the way for so many people after her is pretty bonkers.”
From facing her fear of open water to play iconic swimmer Trudy Ederle, to starring as two women dealing with very different forms of loneliness, our Spring/Summer 2024 cover star @daisyridley’s trio of films couldn’t be more varied—and she tells us all about it. Young Woman and the Sea is out in theatres now, coming to Disney on July 19th! 🌹
