Daisy Ridley stands up to online troll

Actress Daisy Ridley has said she “will not apologise” for her body in response to criticism on social media that she is too thin.

An Instagram user posted a photo of Ridley’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens character Rey, with a speech bubble which read: “I can’t believe the unrealistic expectations I’m setting for young girls. Who cast me anyway? Don’t they know real women have curves?”

The 23-year-old Londoner defended her figure, saying: “‘Real women’ are all shapes and sizes, all ethnicities, all levels of brave.
