Daisy Edgar-Jones on Glen Powell Paul Mescal and Sebastian Stan: Turns Out They're Super Supportive Co-Stars!
So Daisy has been racking up an impressive list of male co-stars who also happen to be total heartthrobs. We are talking Glen Powell from Twisters Paul Mescal of Normal People fame and Sebastian Stan from well everywhere! In a recent interview Daisy shared some insights about working with these "internet boyfriends" and it is all positive vibes.
Daisy mentioned she feels incredibly lucky because every single one of them has been supportive of her taking the lead in their projects. She specifically called out Glen Sebastian and Paul praising their generosity and how they always put the story first instead of their own egos. According to Daisy these guys are successful and well-loved for a reason – they are team players.
She shared that Glen Powell was always focused on her character Kate's journey in Twisters and Sebastian Stan was just as invested in her character Noa's story in Fresh. And Paul Mescal? She compared working with him to "playing tennis with your best friend" which sounds like a pretty awesome work environment. Daisy even joked that she is a bit nervous about the day she might have to work with someone who isn't as "chill" about it because let's be real ego can be a big thing in Hollywood.
Beyond the "Boyfriends": Daisy Edgar-Jones Wants Roles with Depth and Agency
While Daisy is grateful for all the positive experiences she's had with her male co-stars she is also looking for roles that go beyond just being "the girl" in the story. She wants characters with real agency. She explained that it is important to her to find roles that are complicated deep and layered because that's what being human is all about.
Daisy is excited that more and more film s are being made with women in the lead roles. She also pointed out that as a woman in her 20s she is actively seeking characters who are not just "ingenues" - those typically innocent and young female roles. She wants complexity and substance in every part she plays. She feels fortunate that many of her characters so far have had that depth and haven't been solely defined by their relationships with men.
Daisy even addressed the fan reaction to Twisters where her character Kate didn't have a romantic kiss at the end with Glen Powell's Tyler. She gets why some fans were maybe disappointed but for her the story was about Kate's personal journey which was much bigger than just a romance.
