She is in a starry-eyed mood today, despite in some ways being the veteran in the room. I want to dye my hair wild colours, and work with filmmakers I admire.” “I’d love to be a character actor, playing parts that are different from anything I’ve played before. “I want to play characters who are really meaty and funny and weird,” she says over Zoom from Los Angeles. Like her hero Tilda Swinton, the 24-year-old has a chameleonic quality. Or the would-be Happy Meal in Disney’s cannibal romcom Fresh earlier this year. Just as it was when she played the clever, anxious and very Irish Marianne in Normal People.

“The most exciting animals we have are… pigeons.”Įdgar-Jones’s smoky, lilting accent in the film – for a character raised in the damp marshes of Fifties and Sixties American South – is immaculate.
