In a startling revelation, “Star Wars” icon Daisy Ridley has opened up about a personal health battle, adding a new chapter to her life story.

The 32-year-old actress, beloved for her role as Rey, disclosed in a candid interview with Women’s Health that she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease last September.

The shocking news came after she consulted an endocrinologist about persistent hot flashes and overwhelming fatigue.

Ridley’s journey to this diagnosis began post-filming her latest project, “Magpie.” Initially, she brushed off her symptoms as mere side effects of a demanding role.

However, the reality was far more serious. Her symptoms escalated to include a racing heart rate, unexplained weight loss, relentless fatigue, hand tremors, and severe irritability.

Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid, has thrown a curveball at Ridley’s life.

According to medical sources like the Mayo Clinic, the condition triggers excessive thyroid hormone production, leading to symptoms such as nervousness, tremors, heat sensitivity, and weight loss.

The disorder is notably familiar to TV personality Wendy Williams, who has also faced this challenging condition.

In a bid to manage her health, Ridley has adopted dietary changes, notably reducing gluten intake. This shift has significantly improved her well-being. Reflecting on her past state, she told Women’s Health, “I didn’t realize how bad I felt before. Then I looked back and thought, ‘How did I do that?‘”

Ridley also highlighted the broader issue of women’s health often being dismissed or overlooked. “It’s just normalized to not feel good,” she remarked, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and addressing health concerns.

Known globally for her portrayal of the young Jedi hero Rey in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, Ridley has since ventured into more intimate dramas. Films like “Sometimes I Think About Dying” and “Young Woman and the Sea” have showcased her versatile talent. The latter film features Ridley as Gertrude Ederle, the pioneering swimmer who conquered the English Channel.

This isn’t Ridley’s first encounter with significant health issues. She has previously spoken about her struggles with endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome, conditions that have plagued her since her teenage years. In 2016, she used her Instagram platform to encourage others to seek medical advice and take proactive measures for their health.

Despite these challenges, Ridley remains resilient and is set to reprise her iconic role as Rey in an upcoming “Star Wars” film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. The eagerly anticipated movie will explore Rey’s mission to establish a new Jedi Order, continuing the legacy of the galaxy far, far away.
