Daisy Edgar-Jones has revealed what it is really like working with Hollywood’s ‘internet boyfriends’.

The actress, 26, opened up on her supportive co-stars while posing in her underwear for ELLE’s front cover.

In one stunning snap, Daisy oozed confidence in a pair of bold red pants with a silver chain belt around the waist, and a black T-shirt on top.

Another sH๏τ showed the Twister star laying on an armchair while wearing white pants and a matching skin-тιԍнт crop top, with an eye-catching leopard print coat over the top. 

Daisy, who has most recently been promoting her new film On Swift Horses South, put on a leggy display in a sheer white mini dress.

During the interview, Daisy revealed what it has been like taking on the lead role in the majority of her projects since Normal People, meaning the males she works alongside were left to play the secondary character.

Daisy explained: ‘I have worked with basically all of the internet’s boyfriends, and I’m lucky that every actor I’ve worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead. Glen, Sebastian, Paul, all of them. 

‘I think that’s why they’re so successful and so loved and so good: that they are so generous, and they really serve the story and are not serving themselves. 

‘Glen was always like, ‘What’s Kate’s journey in this? Let’s find it.’ And same with Sebastian; he was so completely invested in Noa’s journey. 

‘Paul’s like playing tennis with your best friend. I’m nervous for the point that it comes to working with someone who might not be so chill with it! Because there’s so much ego that can exist in this industry.’

Daisy, who recently signed as the face of Zara Hair, is the daughter of leading British TV executive Phil Edgar-Jones.

Branded the new English ‘It Girl’, the actress has set the internet ablaze in recent years, after earning Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for Normal People.

Since then she has starred opposite Andrew Garfield in the crime drama Under The Banner Of Heaven, and was the lead in the film Where The Crawdads Sing.

Daisy went on to discuss impostor syndrome and self-doubt, admitting: ‘I remember when Normal People first came out and I was being interviewed loads, I talked so much about experiencing impostor syndrome. I really thought it would go away, and it hasn’t. But I’m working on it.

‘I don’t want that fear of not being good enough to ruin my life.’

Speaking more on her breakout role in Normal People, where she plays Marianne Sheridan, and whether she’s tired of talking about it, she said: ‘It isn’t that I’m bored of talking about it, because I am so proud of it.

‘I want to find something that connects like that again. I still can’t comprehend how widely it reached. Five years on, I’m older now, and I’m keen to talk about other things, too.’

Daisy previously admitted that she had struggled for years before landing her breakthrough role in Normal People.

Describing her experience on the hit series, she confessed: ‘I was so spoiled by Normal People, just with how wonderful the team was, and how much I felt I learned from it.

‘Now, in every job I’ve done since, that’s the kind of standard I want to be working with.’

While recalling how challenging it had been before she landed the part, Daisy said: ‘I was auditioning for years without getting much movement, and it was only through kind of sheer belief that I kept going.’

Giving advice to others who want to make it in the industry, she added: ‘I think that’s what I would say to young people who are wanting to pursue the arts: be open to failure and learning from it. It’s a really valuable part of the process.

‘The most difficult jobs I’ve done, or the things that have been the most trying, I have valued the most in my later life, as they’ve taught me the most.’
