Daisy Edgar-Jones has recounted the experience of meeting Leonardo DiCaprio, a long-time crush from her teenage years.
Speaking on the "Dish from Waitrose" podcast with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett OBE, Edgar-Jones, 28, described DiCaprio as a significant figure during her youth. She revealed that she once had his picture as her phone lock screen. DiCaprio rose to global fame in the 1990s with roles in "Romeo + Juliet" and "Titanic."
Edgar-Jones also mentioned other teenage crushes, including Logan Lerman from "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief" and a Tumblr model named Ash Stymest.
Regarding her encounter with DiCaprio, Edgar-Jones stated, "I have met Leo DiCaprio, actually. I met him at a club randomly at an afterparty for something. [We] very briefly passed each other and I met him, that was cool. I wasn't like 'Oh my God, you're still my phone background'."
The actress also touched upon her current relationship with photographer Ben Seed, known as Pip. Edgar-Jones, who moved to east London to be closer to him, described him as a supportive partner. The couple, who met on a blind date, navigate their busy schedules by aiming not to be apart for more than three weeks at a time.
Edgar-Jones also discussed her desire to become a mother and her concerns about potential fertility challenges due to endometriosis.
