Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley began her stellar career in a resuscitation training video, and then almost choked on a throat sweet in a BBC drama.
The 32-year-old, Rey in the blockbuster movie franchise, was in a film as a teenager to teach people cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
She said: "It was a video where somebody has collapsed, I give them CPR.
"It was absolutely freezing in Covent Garden Flower Market and we were knee-deep in water because it had been raining.
"But if being part of a CPR video has genuinely helped to save someone's life, that's pretty amazing.
"The same year I almost choked on a throat sweet in an episode of Casualty after a ghost train had a crash at a funfair. Apparently, it was the scariest ghost train in the UK so they just filmed us going round and round, which was terrifying even before I nearly choked to death."
