How can someone look majestic, fairy-like but also villainy at the same time. She is amazing.

[DonPasquale_]

She's genuinely stolen the show in everything she's acted in. First time I saw her was in Split, and I've watched everything she's been in since. Phenomenal actress.

[LebahGnteng]

She's the one young actress that's gonna rule Hollywood in the next 10 or 20 years. Likeable, charismatic, talented and can easily watch her talent grown beautifully

[ragael]

i really hope Hollywood doesn't destroy her. she is perfect.

[olivierlechapeau]

Anya is one of those wonderful actresses, like Florence Pugh, who will become the best actresses of their generation in the next 10 years. Anya's performances in "Last Night in Soho" and "The Queen's Gambit" were phenomenal.

[AllThingsRelevent]

She is insanely talented. I absolutely loved her in the queen’s gambit and a night in soho. She beyond beautiful and so genuine, I’m a fan 💕💐

[geoffreyfeinberg]

She's stunning. She's good in everything she's been in. Can't wait for both Menu and voicing Princess Peach. She's got a long successful career ahead.

[iDefineProdigy]

shes like a real life high elf. shes gorgeous. i cant wait to see her as peach

[goodguygarchomp]

She is literally born to play Rhaenys Targaryen, if they ever touch that storyline. Her majestic and slightly alien beauty and aura is unparalleled for playing a character like Rhaenys.

[victorias]

she's the most ethereal being in the world i cannot believe her BEAUTY ??? otherwordly TE AMO ANYA

[gersoncruz]

Wow the way her face and features are she literally looks like another species of human. She looks amazing and out of this world.. literally.

She is a next level actress, she owns the place being humble, charismatic and drop-dead gorgeous.

[zacharydassonville]

I adore her. She’s such an amazing talent and being

[STREETFOODJOURNEY]

she is like someone who came out straight from Disney Animation Movie, Gorgeous ✨

[ni_co]

She’s exactly how I picture an elf or a fairy would look like if ever they were real

[mamemimomuu]

Anya Taylor is such an eyecandy, the way she speaks, gestures and her face is full of elegance. So beautiful!

[skdesign]

She's really an incredible actress and has been in so many great movies.

[sherylsimmons]

Anna was in "The Witch". One of my favorite horror movies. She's an excellent actress. 😊

[ingridbrandt]

I wish Jimmy had brought up the fact that English isn’t even Anya’s first language! Spanish is. Amazing, since her English is so flawless and charming.

[nathanbradleyf]

The Menu was fantastic! One of the best movies I've seen this year and she is a great actress. She brings something special to every role. Queen's Gambit was phenomenal.
