After her resounding success in Queen’s Gambit, the chess series in which she starred on Netflix in the midst of a pandemic, Anya Taylor-Joy is one of the most sought after young actresses of Hollywood and his ability to cover different roles, added to an unusual audacity, explain the interest of the industry for his figure.
Anya Taylor-Joy, 26, just opened in Argentina The menuand finally the filming of furiousthe true long-awaited prequel from Mad Max: Fury RoadGeorge Miller’s 2015 action film. For his first cinematic tank, Taylor-Joy will don the combat boots of Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, one of the greatest action heroines of all time.
“I’ve been on a different planet for the past seven months,” Anja Taylor-Joy told the publication. IndieWire, during a recent interview about the filming of furious in Australia.
“I think I have to sit down and try to digest what has happened in the last seven months. But I’m incredibly, incredibly proud of it, and so proud of everyone I’ve worked with, and just because of the amount of love and effort and work it’s put into, I’m thrilled to see that.”
Its beginnings and its dirty hands now
Taylor-Joy made her first screen appearance the same year she came out Mad Max: Fury Roadin the auspicious and celebrated debut of Robert Eggers The Witch. Set in 17th century New England, the popular horror film established Taylor-Joy as an actress who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.
Although now, in his own words, they have never been so dirty.
“It’s the dirtiest, bloodiest thing I’ve ever had, which is really saying something,” she said. “Anytime I get dirty or bloody and not perfectly groomed and pretty, I’m just having fun, that’s where I feel most comfortable. So yes, furious It was definitely my way.”
no driving licence
Oddly, to play a character known for his fearless driving skills, Taylor-Joy can’t really drive. She reckons she’s been working constantly on film sets since she was a teenager, so she doesn’t seem to need to.
“I don’t actually have a driver’s license, so I don’t know how to drive. I can’t on the highway, I can’t parallel park, but I knowI need me to do a juicy 180 degree turn on a truck, I can do it without hitting people from the camera, which is great,” the actress said.
“Eventually, I’ll stay in one place long enough to get my driving license and then I’ll be very happy, because then I’ll be able to play. But as far as early cars go, I think I’m pretty spoiled that they were built by the art department of Crazy Maximus“.
Taking into account the danger that the actress represents behind the wheel, it is preferable that the place where she will obtain her license has a lenient highway code.
“That’s the other thing, if a driving instructor gets in the car with me, all I know how to do is drive crazy stunts,” Anya Taylor-Joy said. “I’m thinking about getting my stunt driving license… So I can drive all my time in all the movies, which would be great. But I fear for the poor man or woman who takes the test with me, because I’m not calm”.
His life in Buenos Aires
“Sometimes I felt too British to be Argentinian. Or vice versa!” said the actress in both Spanish and English. Many are still fascinated to learn that the Lady’s Gambit star lived in Buenos Aires until she was six years old. “My native language was Spanish. My first years of schooling were local. I still have family in Argentina and I usually come back at Christmas.”
“I come from many places, but my quality and attitude towards life comes from Argentina. I really appreciate that part of my story. I am very proud to come from Argentina”, he assured.
