Daisy Edgar-Jones Storms Hollywood: The ‘Twisters’ Star on Chasing a Real Tornado, Working With Glen Powell and Why She Exited the Carole King Biopic
Daisy Edgar-Jones on 'Twisters' being her biggest role yet, chasing down a real tornado and why she's no longer playing Carole King.
After production wrapped in December on Lee Isaac Chung’s sequel to 1996’s “Twister,” Edgar-Jones — who plays Kate Cooper, a meteorologist haunted by personal trauma — called a team of trackers she’d met on set. Having gravitated toward isolated, brooding characters in naturalistic dramas, she’s part of an ensemble cast that includes Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos, dealing with CGI tempests instead of tempestuous relationships. This relatability shines through in our interview too: After talking through the irony of facing severe weather on the “Twisters” set and her enduring friendship with “Normal People” co-star Paul Mescal, she admits that she prefers London to Hollywood and counts people-watching while riding the tube as one of her favorite activities (though she’s being recognized in public more).
