Daisy Edgar-Jones: I try and bury my emotion when it comes to love
In real life the actress says she is just like the character she's playing in Sense and Sensibility.
Daisy Edgar-Jones, known for her role in the hit TV series Normal People, is set to star in an adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. The film follows the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate love, loss, and societal expectations following their father's death. Edgar-Jones reveals that she embodies the more rational and reserved character Elinor in real life, often suppressing her emotions.
However, she admits that the film helped her learn to embrace a more passionate side. Edgar-Jones, 28, discussed the film's relevance today, emphasizing that Austen's exploration of human emotions and relationships remains pertinent. She also addressed Mescal's potential role as James Bond, stating that she has faith in Mescal's acting abilities.
The two actresses, who previously worked together in Pond Life, shared a close bond and found it easy to portray their complex sisterly relationship on screen. Edgar-Jones believes that Austen's work continues to resonate with audiences across generations, offering a relatable exploration of love, heartbreak, and family dynamics.
