You've got Felicity Jones firmly in your category, and even when it comes to bland brunettes, men get more support than women.

There is definitely no shortage of skinny, posh, English brunettes.

And maybe Ridley still has to come into her own, but I don't find her particularly oozing of charm.

[angriest_girl]

True. She’s not terrible, she’s just eh. I could see her doing a younger sister in a Downton Abbey, or a rookie police detective in a gritty British procedural or something. She’s punching above her weight in the movie world.

Best friend roles.

I like her, but girl isn't exactly oozing charisma. Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran... they all had WAY more charisma than did Daisy. When she was opposite Driver and Hamill, she shone, but other than that. I mean, meh. I liked her scenes with Finn, but frankly, that was because of John Boyega, not her. She just doesn't have the IT factor. The above actors do (the first three in SPADES!) and she shared the majority of her screen time with the first two so, of course, she was outshone.

She was right for the part, but that's because the part was pretty much placeholdish.

Yeah I mean Adam driver just oozes charisma

[missyxxmisch]

I find her really stiff and anxious in how she holds herself in every role.

Felicity Jones is an amazing actress! (maybe this is what you meant lol)

[therearewords]

She's a cutie but more importantly: charm.

[inwazyja]

and Emilia, tbh.

Lmao, wrong post.
