Daisy Ridley took a hand-in-hand stroll with a bearded mystery man in Manhattan's Tribeca neighbourhood on Monday.

The 24-year-old actress and her tall glass of water were bundled up in long winter coats to combat New York's 40F-degree chill.

When the Star Wars stunner and her handsome companion couldn't get last-minute tickets for One World Trade Center's observation deck, they paid their respects at the 9/11 Memorial Pools instead.

If true, it would be Daisy's first love since her year-long relationship with fellow Brit - The Secret Agent's Charlie Hamblett - whom she was last pictured with in London on February 5.

The At the Ballet songstress - who has 779K Facebook followers - has gotten increasingly more private since deleting her Instagram account in August after commenting about gun violence.

Ridley - whose middle name is 'Jazz' - last executive produced and narrated the Kazakh documentary The Eagle Huntress, which finally hits UK theaters this Friday.

The Birkbeck drop-out teamed up with five-time Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh on his remake of Murder on the Orient Express, which hits US/UK theaters November 2017.

In the Agatha Christie detective tale - also starring Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer - Daisy takes over the role of Mary Debenham, which Oscar winner Vanessa Redgrave played in 1974.

And director Rian Johnson has already shown the 5ft7in brunette a 'sizzle reel' for Star Wars: Episode VIII, in which she plays a 'highly Force-sensitive' 19-year-old scavenger called Rey.

'I went to go see Rian in the edit, and that was very [makes excited noise]!' Ridley told Empire on Monday.

'Rian sounds very happy. It's very, very exciting. Rian doesn't love showing stuff. I've seen bits and bobs, but he likes it to be done. So I think probably the first time I see it will be when it's fully done. I don't think anyone will see an early cut outside of the main editing team.'

Fans will finally discover if Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter in Episode VIII, which doesn't hit US/UK theaters until December 2017.

The previous installment, Force Awakens, received rave reviews from critics and amassed an eye-popping $2.06B at the global box office.
