Okay movie lovers you know Sebastian Stan right? The Winter Soldier himself? Well it turns out he is not just a superhero on screen but also apparently a super supportive co-star off-screen. Actress Daisy Edgar-Jones has been chatting about working with Sebastian and some other seriously swoon-worthy actors and what she has to say about Sebastian is actually pretty awesome.
Daisy Edgar-Jones Calls Sebastian Stan a Dream Co-Star: Generosity and Story Focus are Key!
Daisy Edgar-Jones who blew everyone away in "Normal People" has been working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood lately. And in a recent interview with Elle Magazine she was asked about what it's like to act alongside all these " internet boyfriends " as she jokingly calls them. Turns out she has nothing but praise especially for Sebastian Stan.
Daisy specifically called out Sebastian along with Glen Powell and Paul Mescal saying she is "lucky that every actor I’ve worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead." That's a seriously reFreshing thing to hear in an industry that can sometimes be full of ego.
She went on to explain what makes these guys so great to work with. According to Daisy it is their generosity and how much they "really serve the story and are not serving themselves." Basically they are all about making the movie or show the best it can be even if it means stepping back to let the lead shine. And in this case Daisy was often the lead in their projects.
'Fresh' Collab: Sebastian Stan Went All-In on Daisy Edgar-Jones' Character's Journey
Daisy gave a specific example about working with Sebastian Stan on the horror-thriller "Fresh". She said "Sebastian was so completely invested in Noa’s journey." Noa is Daisy's character in "Fresh" and it sounds like Sebastian was genuinely interested in helping her bring Noa's story to life. That level of commitment from a co-star is always a huge plus.
Think about it when you have actors who are truly invested in each other's performances and the overall story it just elevates everything. It creates a better working environment and usually translates to a better final product on screen. Daisy clearly appreciated Sebastian's approach and it sounds like it made a real difference in their collaboration on "Fresh".
Glen Powell and Paul Mescal Get Shout-Outs Too: Daisy Edgar-Jones is Surrounded by Supportive "Boyfriends"
Sebastian wasn't the only "internet boyfriend" getting praise from Daisy. She also mentioned Glen Powell who she starred with in "Twisters" and Paul Mescal her "Normal People" co-star. She said Glen Powell was always asking "What’s Kate’s journey in this? Let’s find it." Again it shows that focus on the female lead's character and making sure her story is strong.
And about Paul Mescal? Daisy described working with him as "like playing tennis with your best friend." That sounds like a pretty ideal working relationship right? Easy comfortable and fun. It is no wonder "Normal People" was so successful with that kind of chemistry behind the scenes.
Daisy Gets Real About Hollywood Ego and Feeling "Lucky" with Her Co-Stars
While Daisy is super grateful for her positive experiences with co-stars like Sebastian Glen and Paul she also knows that not everyone in Hollywood is like that. She admitted she is "nervous for the point that it comes to working with someone who might not be so chill with it! Because there’s so much ego that can exist in this industry."
That is a very honest statement. Ego can definitely be a big issue in the entertainment world and it is probably not always easy to find co-stars who are as generous and supportive as Sebastian Stan and the others Daisy has worked with so far. It sounds like she recognizes how fortunate she has been and appreciates it.
