Daisy Ridley

Mark Hamill isn’t the only Star Wars cast member with experience in pulling pints.

Daisy Ridley has told Jimmy Fallon about how she pulled pints at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens wrap party in Dingle.

Recalling her experience after wrapping one of the most successful films of all time in Kerry, Ridley described to Fallon how she got tired of queuing for a jar in Foxy John’s and took over bartending duties herself.

She tells the story at around the 3:40 mark here…

“There was a big queue, and I was like, ‘hey guys, can I get back there?’ And I did, and it was fantastic,” she told the chat show host about the wrap party in May 2016.

Fallon then asked her is she could pour a pint of Guinness.

Ridley, who worked in two London pubs before landing the role of Rey, left him in no doubt as to her skills in that particular area.

“Oh yeah, I can do it all,” she said.
