Daisy Edgar-Jones Speaks Out After Being Mistaken For Stranger Things' Joseph Quinn
Fans of the Netflix series are convinced they're the same person!
They say we all have look alikes, however, Daisy Edgar-Jones has opened up about the unlikely Netflix star she’s often mistaken for.
It turns out there are countless people who truly believe that the Normal People star is in the new season of the smash hit series Stranger Things.
“Apparently I’m really great in the most recent season of Stranger Things,” she said in a recent chat with Elle UK.
“Everyone is saying I look like Joe [Joseph] Quinn, who is brilliant in that series,” she says.

“I do see the likeness. I think we could play brother or sister. That was quite funny. Everyone is like ‘Oh my God, you’re in Stranger Things’”.
Joseph Quinn portrays Eddie Munson, the breakout character in the fourth season of the sci-fi drama.
Fans of Stranger Things recently discovered that the deceased teen might have been inspired by an actual person
Netflix Geeked suggested that the Duffer Brothers were inspired by the West Memphis Three, a group of three teens falsely convicted of triple murder in 1993.
The teenagers - Damien Echols, 18, Jessie Misskelley, Jr.,17, and Jason Baldwin, 16, were convicted of taking the lives of three eight-year-old boys - Steve Edward Branch, Christopher Mark Byers, and James Michael Moore.
The teens were sentenced to death for their crimes, and they spent years on Death Row before new DNA evidence exonerated them in 2011.
Eddie Munson, aka the Dungeon & Dragons playing leader of the Hellfire Club, bears a ‘loose’ resemblance to one of the teenagers - Damien Echols - who is now a writer and artist.
Before heading to the Upside Down, the 29-year-old actor starred in an episode of Game of Thrones, playing a Stark soldier named Koner in the season seven episode “The Spoils of War”.
Edgar-Jones, 24, will be seen next in the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ best selling novel Where the Crawdads Sing as the lead character Kya.
The film was produced by Reese Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine and the first trailer dropped in March. Watch below.
The film and the book follow a young woman who raised herself in the marshes of the deep South after being abandoned by her family.
When her former boyfriend is found dead, Kya quickly becomes the prime suspect.
The film also stars Harris Dickinson as Chase Andrews and Taylor John Smith as Tate Walker. Other co-stars include Ahna O'Reilly, Sterling Macer Jr, Garret Dillahunt, and Jojo Regina.
Where the Crawdads Sing will be in UK cinemas on 22 July.
