She’s already rocking that supermodel stare on the cover of Elle‘s December issue without breaking a sweat!
And to think she’s only 23 and this is her first movie EVER!
The actress spoke about being on set and dealing with some actual life-threatening situations. Seeing how she handled it makes it clear she’s ready to take on the world:
“We were told about this scorpion in Abu Dhabi that, if it stabbed you, you needed treatment within half an hour. There was this bit where I was lying in the sand, and if a scorpion got me, the nearest hospital was an hour away. So I was like, I could die right now. I could be dead in half an hour.”
Daisy is also ready to be a positive role model for young girls who will inevitably be looking up to her:
“[Rey is] so strong. She’s cool and smart and she can look after herself. Young girls can look at her and know that they can wear trousers if they want to. That they don’t have to show off their bodies.”
She sounds AWESOME!
