Magazine: &#8220;Trudy is a true role model. Who were your role models growing up?<\/p>\n<p>I grew up with two sisters. We fought like animals and loved each other fiercely. I&#8217;m the youngest, so I always wanted to be like them, but also do my own thing. I grew up in a household with a mother who always balanced work and family. She had her own life, but was a committed parent. She never deterred me or my sisters from what we were doing. It was, &#8216;OK! If you want to try it, sure.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s forever committed to all of us. I think part of my determination in wanting to be an actor is because I had a mum saying, &#8216;Well, try.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t know about agents. There was so much I didn&#8217;t know. And with Trudy, there&#8217;s so much she didn&#8217;t really know, too. How&#8217;s she going to get to swim the Channel? She just knows it&#8217;s what she wants. I would draw comparisons in the determination of being allowed to have a dream and try things out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the film, Daisy had to film her own stunts in the water but admitted that she had a &#8220;fear&#8221; of it to begin with and worried that she was going to be &#8220;eaten by a shark&#8221; on set.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8221; At the beginning, I told [producer] Jerry Bruckheimer and [director] Joachim R\u00f8nning that I had a bit of a fear of open water. That was underselling it, because I actually don&#8217;t go in the sea beyond where. I can see the floor. I knew there weren&#8217;t sharks where we were filming in the Black Sea, but I was like, &#8220;Am I going to get eaten by a shark?&#8221; It was an obstacle, mentally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/star-wars-actress-daisy-ridley-reveals-reason-career-success-1403382.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 July 2024 Daisy Ridley thinks her career success is down to the encouragement of her mother.
