Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorDaisy Edgar-Jones may have become a bona fide star two years ago when she starred in Hulu’s hit drama series “Normal People,” but Thursday night marked the first time she actually walked a premiere red carpet.Edgar-Jones jetted to Los Angeles from the U.K. for the premiere of “Fresh,” her new horror-thriller that co-stars Sebastian Stan and Jojo T. Gibbs, at Hollywood Post 43.“I always kind of imagined like, what if one day I get to go to a film premiere in Hollywood,” Edgar-Jones told me.
“It’s all overwhelming, but in a great way. All the photos kind of reminded me of getting my picture taken at school.”Donning in a silver Loewe dress and cracked-egg heels, she reunited with her cast and the filmmakers. “You looking fucking gorgeous,” she told Gibbs.
The evening included a pre-screening reception because event producers worried guests wouldn’t want to eat after the showing because of the movie’s cannibalism storyline. The bar was decorated with jars of raw meat and bones. Edgar-Jones and Stan posed for photographers in front of a poster of a piece of steak with the words, “Meat Cute.”The cast of #FreshMovie.

It’s twisted, but also comedic at times. “I tell people it’s about a woman who meets a man in a grocery store and then the story kind of goes on a crazy roller coaster ride,” Edgar-Jones said.Edgar-Jones was attached to the film before Stan signed on.“I said, ‘I have to be a part of this because I love ‘Normal People,’” Stan told me.
