    Daisy Edgar-Jones says she has found a "lifetime" best friend in her 'Normal People' co-star Paul Mescal

    The 26-year-old actress and the 28-year-old star saw their careers take off after playing tortured lovers Marianne and Connell in the 2020 BBC show, and in an interview conducted amid Paul making a name for himself in Hollywood - with his next biggest role starring as Lucius Verus in 'Gladiator II' - Daisy says she can't wait to see where their careers head in the coming years.


    She told Variety: "Paul is one of my lifetime best friends.

    "He's an incredibly grounded person and I am too, I think, so it's nice to be able to have those touchstones and those people you can laugh about it with and be light hearted with.

    "We met when I was 20 and Paul was 22; I'm so excited to see where we'll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us."

    The 'Twisters' star previously said she is "very lucky" to have come away from making the show with a new group of friends, including India Mullen and Fionn O'Shea, and she thinks they got much closer because of the isolating times of the global pandemic.

    She told Britain's ELLE magazine: "'We really do just love each other. I think because of COVID, we were all the more appreciative of each other. They are golden human beings; I feel very lucky."

    Daisy is a fan of Paul's much-discussed new moustache.

    She said: "Oh, I love it. Paul can pull off anything."

    The group even went to Glastonbury together.

    And though she had a "magical" time, Daisy admitted not everything about the trip was perfect.

    She laughed: "It was magical. We climbed a hill just as the sun was rising. It had started to lightly rain and I was like, 'This is a memory I'll cherish forever...' Then I looked to my right and a woman was vomiting."
