Daisy Ridley has definitely made her name this year – but it seems it has aged her.

The 24-year-old actress rocketed to stardom when she played Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Asked if she feels old, she told the Radio Times: “I feel like I aged a lot in the last year, and I’m refinding my youth.

“I know, if I was reading this I would be like, ‘Someone put a rag in her mouth!’

“But people are always saying, ‘I wish I looked how I was when I was 20,’ so I’m going to appreciate it now.”

Daisy said when she was younger she was quite serious but if she could speak to her younger self she would tell her: “Keep going, it’s all going to be OK.”

“I wouldn’t change because I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a reason,” she added.
