'Star Wars' actor Daisy Ridley revealed in a new interview that she was diagnosed with Graves' disease. The 32-year-old told Women's Health magazine in an interview published Tuesday that she was diagnosed in September 2023 after experiencing bouts of hot flashes and fatigue. She said she started to feel ill after filming the thriller 'Magpie,' in which she plays Anette, a stay-at-home mother whose husband falls in love with a famous actress.
Ridley, who has opened up in the past about her battle with endometriosis, said her Graves' disease diagnosis made her sad at first, but also pushed her to develop a stricter diet and to listen to her body. The actor has been vegan for years, but stopped eating gluten after her diagnosis. 'I am not super strict about it, but generally cutting down on gluten makes me feel better,' she said.
