Unbelievably, going completely against her Jedi training, young Daisy Ridley tried to fool her boarding school classmates into believing that she played Moaning Myrtle – actually played by Babu Frik performer Shirley Henderson – in the Harry Potter movies.
“Well, the thing is, few people know the story and I’m not proud of myself when I say I’m ashamed, but basically, when I was at school, it also makes me sound like a mental teenager, I was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing if people thought I played Moaning Myrtle?’, so I went to boarding school, so basically I copy and pasted a picture of Moaning Myrtle into Microsoft Word, wrote ‘Daisy Ridley’ underneath it, and left that in the common room. One, like a psychopath, two, as if anyone I went to school with would believe I played Moaning Myrtle.”
