Tom Bateman
Tom Bateman is the man lucky enough to call himself the boyfriend of gorgeous British actress, Daisy Ridley.
Tom’s leading lady is best known for her role of Rey in the recent Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
She was born Daisy Jazz Isobel Ridley on April 10, 1992, to a banker mother and a photographer father. Raised in London, she was set to study dance and acting at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts in Hertfordshire as a way to channel her mischievousness.
