Daisy Ridley, known for her role as Rey in 'Star Wars,' portrays Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel, in the biopic 'The Swimmers.' Despite her fear of water, she trained intensely for three months in a swimming pool and faced freezing temperatures during filming, causing her lips to turn purple. Ridley ultimately swam in the cold Black Sea for nine days, demonstrating her dedication to the role, earning praise from director Joachim Rønning. The film is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ on July 19.
