Daisy Ridley reveals Graves' disease diagnosis: 'I just thought I was annoyed at the world'

Daisy Ridley, star of 'Young Woman and the Sea,' has the autoimmune condition Graves' disease. She says she thought she was just 'annoyed at the world.'

Daisy Ridley was battling more than waves when she filmed 'Young Woman and the Sea,' revealing Monday that she has Graves' disease. 'It's the first I've shared that ,' the 'Star Wars' actor told Women's Health in an interview published Tuesday. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the thyroid becomes overactive.

Her symptoms included weight loss, fatigue, tremors, a rapid heart rate — and irritability. 'It was funny, I was like, ‘Oh, I just thought I was annoyed at the world,’ but turns out everything is functioning so quickly, you can’t chill out,” the 32-year-old Jedi said. Ridley is both an executive producer and the lead actor in the film about Gertrude 'Trudy' Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel, two jobs for which you also cannot 'chill out' while doing them.
