In May, Daisy made headlines when she accidentally said during an appearance at the Fastnet Film Festival that she “fell in love with Paul” while shooting Normal People. Quickly, she corrected herself and clarified that she developed feelings for him “as a friend.”
A few weeks later, Daisy doubled down on their platonic bond, telling Variety that Paul is one of her “lifetime best friends.”
“He’s an incredibly grounded person, and I am, too, I think, so it’s nice to be able to have those touchstones and those people you can laugh about it with and be lighthearted with,” she told the outlet. “We met when I was 20, and Paul was 22; I’m so excited to see where we’ll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us.”
