Daisy Ridley calls her first meeting with Tom Holland “awkward”

In a recent interview with AP Entertainment, Daisy Ridley revealed how her first meeting with Tom Holland went. She recalled that they met the night when Holland won his BAFTA for Rising Star, and it was “so weird” because they both knew they were doing Chaos Walking, but they did not know when and how. The actor mentioned that then they met again on the plane, and it was “actually hilarious,” because the plane was not to Montreal, where the movie was filmed.

She asserted that they were in those seats that face each other and it was “super awkward” as they did not really know each other. However, the Ophelia star admitted that they ended up being “great” with each other.
