What’s the first thing you’d do if you were working with Daisy Ridley? Try and trick her into spilling inside information on ‘Star Wars’, obviously.

And so, on the set of ‘Murder On The Orient Express’, Josh Gad summoned her to his trailer on some pretence or other to do just that.

And then he filmed the results.

Firing questions at her in an attempt to make her slip up (‘Who are the last Jedi? ‘Cause is it one or is it more than one? Is it plural?’), he does his very best.

But sadly, it’s just not good enough. Ridley keeps schtum, and something about her resignation makes us think that perhaps he’s tried this before.

“We can’t have this conversation,” she says, shutting down the ‘Frozen’ star, though it might be worth noting that she doesn’t deny that Rey is a Jedi.

The pair are among a pretty dazzling bunch of stars remaking the Agatha Christie yarn for the big screen.

Kenneth Branagh is playing Hercule Poirot (and directing too), alongside Lucy Boynton, Olivia Colman, Penelope Cruz, Johnny Depp, Willem Dafoe, Judy Dench, Derek Jacobi, Michael Pena and Michelle Pfeiffer.

It’s due out in November.
