Daisy Edgar-Jones has said becoming an overnight star thanks to Normal People felt like “a strange dream” as the world was already “topsy turvy” due to lockdown.
The actress, 22, and her co-star Paul Mescal, 24, both shot to fame in April this year following the debut of the BBC Three coming-of-age drama.
Edgar-Jones was initially only able to enjoy her newfound success online due to the pandemic, and was only reunited publicly with Mescal at the Bafta TV Awards in July.
