Daisy Ridley was seen visiting the upscale gym Bodyism in Notting Hill on Thursday, as she prepares for her role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX. The 26-year-old actress showcased her toned physique in form-fitting leggings and a grey tank top, complemented by bright pink trainers and a quilted tote bag.
The gym, which costs £30,000 a year, is popular among celebrities, with regulars including Lara Stone, David Gandy, Lily Allen, and Emilia Clarke. It offers personal trainers, yoga classes, healthy shakes, and features oxygen filters and vitamin D-emitting lights.
Ridley, who plays Rey in the Star Wars franchise, recently began filming for Episode IX in London, directed by JJ Abrams. The film is set for release in December 2019 and will also star Mark Hamill, John Boyega, Adam Driver, and Billy Dee Williams.
Regarding her involvement in the sequel, Ridley clarified earlier statements, saying she signed up for three films and sees the story ending there, but denied ruling out a return. She emphasised that she loves being part of the franchise.
The production will also include previously unreleased footage of Carrie Fisher from The Force Awakens, used to honour her legacy as Leia Organa. Fisher died in 2016 after completing work on The Last Jedi.
