Star Wars Actress Daisy Ridley Details Graves' Disease Diagnosis

Daisy Ridley reveals she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease after blaming symptoms on ‘stressful’ movie role

“It’s the first time I’ve shared that,” Ridley, 32, shared in her Women’s Health cover story, released on Tuesday, August 6, revealing that she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease — an “immune system condition that affects the thyroid gland,” according to the Mayo Clinic — in September 2023.

“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,” Ridley explained. “I am not super strict about it, but generally cutting down on gluten makes me feel better,” the actress told the magazine. “I’ve always been health conscious, and now I’m trying to be more well-being conscious. I do a fair amount of the holistic stuff, but I also understand that it is a privilege to be able to do those things.”

“I didn’t realize how bad I felt before,” she said, in part, explaining that it’s become “normalized” for women to “not feel good.”
