Tran portrayed Rose Tico in the 2017 Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and again in the 2019 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
In the new interview, Tran was asked whether she would have still chosen to appear in two Star Wars films if she had known she would face such harassment.
“I think I would’ve done it anyway,” the actor said after what the paper described as a “long pause”.
She became the target of abuse on social media, eventually deleting all her Instagram posts as a result.
