10 Actors Who Wanted To Quit Huge Movie Franchises
5. Daisy Ridley - Star Wars
The pressure of huge franchises can be overwhelming, and Daisy Ridley certainly felt that during the filming of The Force Awakens, almost quitting before her journey in the series truly began.
Going from being a relatively unknown actress to the most famous property in the world can be a huge jump in not only the type of role you're expected to play, but the way in which you're treated on set. Ridley's experience made her feel extremely out of sorts, pointing to a particular example of having an umbrella held over her head by an assistant and feeling that it was "not right".
The intense shooting schedule and tough shoots were extremely rigid, and Ridley stated that she often found it hard to settle into a production without having the time to get to know people first. Jumping straight into the Millennium Falcon on a strict schedule probably didn't leave much time to find out her co-stars favourite colours.
