Daisy Edgar-Jones sits down with TODAY to talk about her role as a tornado tamer in the new summer blockbuster “Twisters” — and even riding along with the professional storm chasers! She also opens up about having co-star Glen Powell’s new dog on set and immersing herself in the local culture during filming with line dancing.
Daisy Edgar-Jones moved to Oklahoma to film 'Twisters,' but she didn't see any real tornadoes. The 'Normal People' actor tells TODAY.com that hasn't stopped her from trying to see one on her own time. “As a Brit, I kept having vivid dreams about tornadoes up until I went over to Oklahoma,” she says. “I was curious to see whether I was going to see some — we did see some crazy weather, but I haven’t seen a tornado yet.
“It’s quite a long scene, but that that first scene is really unexpected.” The scene establishes the high-stakes, life-or-death nature of storm chasing. Edgar-Jones says she's still afraid of tornadoes because of it — despite her experience on set with professional storm consultants and supervisors. “I’m still probably fearful of tornadoes and anything extreme because coming from London, I’m just not used to it,” she says with a laugh.
