Her quick witted reaction is something else

[maiu]

she was RIGHT ON that paper scissors rock game

The more I see her the more I understand why directors are fighting to have her in their movies. No matter what the role, she’s the best thing in the movie. On top of that, she’s a genuinely interesting person off-screen. Wicked sense of humor to boot. She didn’t know how to drive, and within days she was screaming across the Australian Outback at high speed.

Anya is always radiant, as well as being honest, funny and immensely talented.

That ‘glare’ at the end, after the draw. Love her!

[jonathany]

this is why people love the graham norton show - it's all about the interactions, stories, and questions guests ask one another (the craic if you will). it's all so organic that you get these really unique moments you can't find anywhere else

Her charisma is something else. She's so beautiful, but it's not just that, I love her voice and how she moves and what she says. She's one of these people where you feel you MUST know more about them, because they are genuinely interesting. And I think that makes her such a good actress too (apart from a ton of talent). Because you become genuinely interested and invested in her characters.

Anya Taylor-Joy sat two seats away from me at a recent Sigur Ros concert down here in Australia. I was too nervous to strike up a conversation during the intermission, but she was getting swept up in the emotion and thrill of the music. It was great to see!

I've been a Springsteen fan for 40 years, and it still took me a while to realize he was sitting next to her

[sophiaisabelle]

Anya Taylor-Joy is certainly talented in more ways than one. We all hope we get to see her in more film projects in the near future. She's already a star in the making.

1:08 That look after the Rock Paper Scissors 🥵

[drnaldo]

😂 Anya actually has an amazing wit to her

[TheJadedJames]

That people try to play chess against her is really weird because until watching this, I never assumed that the actors on Queen's Gambit even needed to know the game beyond "the bare minimum needed to follow the scripts"

[joeaiden]

She's an incredible actress and she has this awesome energy about her which draws me closer.

[oatlord]

Her outfit is kind of like what I would be wearing in a nightmare about forgetting to put my clothes on.

[mafthew]

I saw her In Emma (literally A month before lock down), And she was amazing, and then the queens gambit, and blew me away!

[Littletime]

After rock/paper/scissors, that look, the hair flip and the handshake. That is "stage presence".

[manvirshergill]

She has the look of a proper Targaryen 😍😍😍

[ZetsubouZolo]

she just appeared and boom became my latest celeb crush. I adore this woman

[simonclarke]

A genuine potential movie star. Reminds me of Catherine Zeta Jones. That grace and respect for fans
