Daisy Edgar-Jones has been cast as Carole King in “Beautiful,” the movie adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical about the life and career of the prolific songwriter and singer.
The 24-year-old British actress had her breakout role in Hulu’s romance drama “Normal People” in 2020. Then, earlier this year, she starred in the film adaptation of the bestselling book “Where The Crawdads Sing.”
King gave Jones her seal of approval. “Daisy has a spirit and energy that I recognized as myself when I was younger,” King told Variety in a story published Thursday.
