Daisy Ridley might be the new face of the Star Wars franchise, however before the British actress earned the leading role as the powerful Force-sensitive Jakku orphan in Lucasfilm's new sequel trilogy, she worked as a bartender.
Sitting down with Jimmy Fallon on an episode of The Tonight Show, Ridley opened up about her bartending skills and how she decided to show them off during The Last Jedi's wrap party.
"Not to float my own boat, but I'm a really good bartender," Ridley said. "I worked in a pub, in two different pubs, for like a year and a half in a rowdy London district."
Ridley was a bartender right before she was cast in The Force Awakens, and the actress said she decided to use her bartending skills during The Last Jedi's wrap party this year.
"I got cast in February, and I stopped working there in December," Ridley remembered. "So I'm a good bartender, so I worked the wrap party.There was a big queue, and I was like, 'Hey guys, can I get back there?And I did, and it was fantastic."
We wonder whether we'll ever get to see Rey mixing drinks in The Last Jedi (and if not in Star Wars: Episode IX). It'd be really cool to see some cosmic margaritas and screwdrivers in the sequel trilogy.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi makes its big debut December 15, 2017.
