Daisy Edgar-Jones is opening up about the success of her Hulu series Normal People and what it was like filming those intimate scenes with co-star Paul Mescal.

The 22-year-old actress chatted with Porter and said, “I feel very lucky to have met Paul through this process. He’s a wonderful, wonderful person and a very giving actor… He’ll be a friend for life.”

Daisy credits the realistic sex scenes to Ita O’Brien‘s intimacy direction. She said, “You need more protection because it is a stunt, with physical maneuvers that you need to make look realistic – just like in a fight scene… Mentally, it’s a really vulnerable place to put yourself in.”

The show was released back in April while we were in the middle of quarantine, so Daisy hasn’t really been able to experience the success of the show.

“I turn my phone off and then I’m just inside, and my life isn’t very different, so it’s difficult to comprehend that it really is that big… We just can’t believe the reaction,” she said.

Here’s what Paul had to say about going full frontal on the series!

Daisy Edgar-Jones holds hands with boyfriend Tom Varey while going for a walk around the neighborhood on Sunday (June 14) in London, England.

The 22-year-old actress is one of the breakout stars of the Hulu series Normal People, which you can watch on the streaming service right now.

Lots of fans think that Tom looks a lot like Daisy‘s Normal People co-star and on-screen love Paul Mescal. See the new photos of him going for a jog last week!

Daisy and Tom have been dating for two years after meeting in 2018 on the set of the film Pond Life.

Tom is also an actor and he appeared on a 2016 episode of Game of Thrones as the character Cley Cerwyn. Check out the episode “The Winds of Winter” to catch him on the show!

Hulu’s Normal People is a smash hit and fans are wondering…could there be a second season!?

The show is actually based on Sally Rooney’s New York Times best-selling novel, and follows the entirety of the book from beginning to end. So a second season would require a continuation of the book.

However, director of the series, Lenny Abrahamson, didn’t rule it out…but there’s a catch. He’d like to revisit the show in “ten years” to see where the characters are.

“I have a fantasy of doing a kind of ten year seeing where they are in ten years time sort of thing, if I’m not too decrepit at that point,” he told Radio Times.

Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Marianne and Paul Mescal stars as Connell in the hit show.

Here’s a synopsis of the show: Normal People tracks the tender but complicated relationship of Marianne and Connell from the end of their school days in a. small-town west of Ireland to their undergraduate years at Trinity College. At school, he’s well-liked and popular, while she’s lonely, proud and intimidating. But when Connell comes to pick up his mother from her cleaning job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers – one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying in Dublin and Marianne has found her feet in a new social world but Connell hangs at the side lines, shy and uncertain.

Check out the trailer for the show, and be sure to watch it on Hulu now!

Normal People is heading to television.

The TV adaptation of the 2018 Sally Rooney book will be premiering on April 26 on BBC Three’s iPlayer, followed by Hulu on April 29 before heading to theaters.

Here’s a summary: “Based on Sally Rooney’s best-selling novel, Normal People is an exquisite, modern love story about how one person can unexpectedly change another person’s life and about how complicated intimacy can be. It follows Marianne and Connell over several years, as they embark on an on-again/off-again romance that starts at school and continues through college, both testing their relationship as they explore different versions of themselves.”

The series stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal.

Despite all the recent schedule changes, there’s still plenty of great television in the works. See what’s on tonight!
