Ryan Blaney had the great honor of meeting Kobe Bryant, the man who inspired him and millions others. But while attending a Bryant game, he came across another person that he adores. He spoke about the encounter in an interview with Kristine Leahy.
Kristine asked, “Was it cooler meeting him or Daisy Ridley?” Blaney replied, “Meeting Daisy was the best.” Now, Daisy, I got to meet her at a Laker game. She walks by and I’m with my buddy and I’m like oh my god that’s Daisy Ridley."
“I’m like I will never see her again. I hate asking people for things but I had to do it – I asked her for a photo. She was very nice, we talked for a minute. That was the best minute of my life.”
