Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley star opposite each other in dystopian adventure film Chaos Walking, and speaking recently, Ridley shared that after encountering each other briefly at the 2017 BAFTAs, the pair’s first official meeting sat facing opposite one another on a long plane journey was rather awkward.
Daisy told AP Entertainment: “We met the night that Tom won his [Rising Star] BAFTA and it was so weird because we both knew we were doing [Chaos Walking] but we didn’t know when and we didn’t know how.
“It was actually hilarious, because we met again on the plane to Montreal but we were in those seats that face each other and you know like it’s super awkward when you don’t really know someone?
“So we would put the screen up slowly and then the screen takes ages to go up and you’re like, ‘oh my god, so awkward’ – but no, it ended up being great.”
Ridley’s comments follow Holland’s recent revelation that his Star Wars audition for The Force Awakens was disastrous. Chaos Walking is out on March 5th.
