Daisy Ridley Talks the Physical Toll of ‘Cleaner’
Daisy Ridley is back in action mode with Martin Campbell’s Cleaner.
The English actor is coming off two years’ worth of acclaimed work in a number of different genres, including the biographical sports drama Young Woman and the Sea, the offbeat romantic dramedy Sometimes I Think About Dying and her self-generated neo-noir Magpie. But when the opportunity presented itself to work with the filmmaker behind two beloved James Bond films, Casino Royale and GoldenEye, Ridley knew it was time to return to the type of physical acting that made her a household name via the Star Wars sequel trilogy. (Campbell and Ridley hit it off so well that they’re already in development on another action-thriller called Dedication.)
Opening in theaters on Feb. 21, Ridley plays Joey Locke, a former soldier who’s now a high-rise window cleaner for a London building that’s home to a prominent energy company. During a shareholder party, a band of radical activists commandeer the gathering in order to expose the environmental damage that’s been covered up by the corrupt company’s fraternal CEOs and their co-conspirators in attendance.
