British Vogue’s writer Olivia Marks assures readers that there’s nothing “remotely imperious” about 25-year-old Anya Taylor-Joy’s behavior. The Dior ambassador is Interviewed first at the January 2022 end of Couture Week in Paris at a photography studio in an industrial north-east suburb of the city, then again the following day at her hotel, the new LVMH-owned Cheval Blanc and walking the streets of Paris to the actor’s favorite bookshop Shakespeare and Company.

Life with the Paparazzi

While Anya Taylor-Joy enjoys dressing up, she doesn’t “necessarily love the red-carpet experience,” telling Olivia Marks that she more or less experiences a “blackout” because it’s “so, so overwhelming.” Struggling with poor eyesight before recently getting contacts, the actor describes the “braying bank of photographers” as a “giant amorphous beast that has all of these eyes”.

Her Partner Musician and Actor Malcolm McRae

“I’ve finally found someone who will happily sit in silence with me reading. We’re basically 80 years old and seven at the same time and it works really well,” the star says about her partner Malcolm McRae.

Home is east London, but Taylor-Joy has been living in the US filming a top secret David O Russell film with Margot Robbie. Described as a black comedy thrilled, ‘The Menu’ is helmed by ‘Succession’ director Mark Mylod.

‘The Northman’ April 2022

After that comes her role in ‘Furiosa’, based on the origin story of the renegade ‘Mad Max’ warrior. She expresses being “ecstatically” happy when filming ‘The Northman’ in Northern Ireland. Set in 1-th-century Iceland, Taylor-Joy is shackled, enslaved and soaking wet wearing rags.

The ‘Northman’ is set for release on April 22, 2022.
