Daisy Ridley Reveals She Was Cut from The Inbetweeners 2

You were originally in The Inbetweeners 2.

Oh, yeah!

It’s always ‘unspecified role’ – can you please tell me what your role was?

Okay. What I did in The Inbetweeners 2 was… I opened a door to a party, where the boys were going. Then, they changed the scene and I couldn’t go back. Actually, I was friends with the actress who ended up doing it. I was like, ‘This is so cool!’ It was funny, it would have been amazing to be in the finished thing, but I was still part of it. But yes, I was the person who opened the door to a party… but that was that role.

And on Star Wars….

I can’t speak for anyone else, nor will I. Everybody has their own experiences and I love everyone I work with and respect that people have different experiences. I mean everyone always does, don’t they? We’re all individuals, we have individual experiences.

But to just speak to my time, I had the most amazing time. I feel really lucky that I got to inhabit such a wonderful role. I feel really lucky with what I was able to do, physically but also emotionally. There was so much I got to do. A lot of the time, there’s this thing where you think about big films and how they aren’t perceived as an emotional thing for the actors. But there was so much as an actor I got to explore in a really wonderful environment. So yes, not speaking for anyone else, but I – luckily – had a really amazing time.

Do you keep in contact with your co-stars from Star Wars at all?
