Daisy Edgar-Jones, who is awaiting the release of her movie On Swift Horses, has said that all the male co-stars she has worked with have been "incredibly supportive" towards her and she considers herself lucky for the same.
In an interview with Elle, the 26-year-old shared her honest experiences of working with male actors.
The film and TV industry has been through a tough period of heightened scrutiny in the wake of the #MeToo movement, while there have also been debates about gender pay-gaps as well as awareness of racism.
Edgar-Jones says she feels “lucky” to have survived the climate, Independent reported.
"I’m lucky that every actor I’ve worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead," she stated, while giving names of actors like Paul Mescal, Glen Powell and Sebastian Stan.
Hailing her co-actors, she stated that this could be the reason why these people in the industry are "so successful and so loved and so good."
Calling them "generous," she added that they look forward to serving the story rather than serving themselves.
Edgar-Jones came into the spotlight after starring in the 2020 romantic psychological drama series Normal People as Marianne Sheridan. It was the official adaptation of Sally Rooney’s popular novel of the same name.
She featured in Normal People along with Gladiator II fame actor Paul Mescal. The two stars garnered praise for their roles and later went on to gain global recognition.
Apart from this, she worked with Glen Powell in 2024 film Twisters as well as Sebastian Stan in horror-thriller Fresh, which was released in 2022.

While talking about Powell, she said that he always used to be like finding out what's "Kate’s journey in this" project.
She lauded Sebastian Stan and said he was "completely invested in Noa’s journey" in the film.
As far as Mescal is concerned, Edgar-Jones said he's like "playing tennis with your best friend."
However, Edgar-Jones does feel nervous about getting to work with somebody "who might not be so chill with it," since there is "so much ego that can exist in this industry.”
Praising Edgar-Jones, Dickinson called her "one of the kindest people I’ve ever met."
He shared that she has a lot of "patience and sensitivity" which makes her a "brilliant artist".
