‘Star Wars’ star Daisy Ridley ‘so exhausted’ by vintage costume for new role: ‘Like wearing a weight vest’
Fox News
"Star Wars" star Daisy Ridley had to endure some heavy costumes for her role as the real-life Olympic swimmer who made history crossing the English Channel in the 1920s.
In "Young Woman and the Sea," Ridley plays real-life Olympic swimmer Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, who became the first woman to swim across the English Channel in 1926.
Early in the film, Ridley and her co-star Tilda Cobham-Hervey, who plays Trudy’s sister Meg, wear late Victorian and early Edwardian swimming costumes for their characters, which involved heavy duty, full coverage clothes, as well as "full tights, shoes."
