Daisy Ridley Explains Why She Got Rid of Instagram: 'I Have a Lot of Growing Up to Do'

Daisy Ridley makes her way to her car after finishing up dinner at Madeo restaurant on Thursday (September 29) in Los Angeles.

The 24-year-old Star Wars actress recently revealed the reason she decided to get rid of her Instagram account last month – at the time, she said the main reason was the outpour of negative comments she got after she shared an anti-gun violence post.

“I felt a pressure being on it,” she told Sky. “I was like ‘I need to post. Oh my God, it’s been this many days’. It’s actually been kind of nice not to be on it. I’m 24. I have a lot of growing up to do. I have to deal with loads of stuff myself personally. For that to be projected with millions of people watching, that is like a bit of an extra pressure.”

Daisy said she might reactive her account someday, though.

“I think some people handle it well,” she added. “Just right now it’s not for me, but who knows.”
