Anya Taylor-Joy: Life Lessons | Bazaar UK

"Is there anything I've learnt about confidence? Listen, I'm still figuring it out," Anya Taylor-Joy tells us in the latest episode of our #LifeLessons series. "I think it's something that has to come from you. I don't think it's something that you can rely on other people to constantly validate you for... You have to believe that you are worthy. And that's actually really hard."

With her unwavering commitment to creativity, the mesmerising and multifaceted star now has Hollywood and the fashion world at her feet – and is why she was named our Actress of the Year at the 2022 Women of the Year Awards.

Watch our latest episode of Life Lessons with the actress above.

I think some people just really know deep in their soul what they wanna do in life and just go for it. Anya left school at 16 to pursue acting and now she's fully thriving in the industry at only 26. She's a star.

[brontiq]

Anya is that girl that has everything that should make you feel jealous af yet you're not bcs she's so incredibly nice, sophisticated and down to earth it's not exactly possible to feel anything negative

[krqxdjz]

She seems to satisfy her life a lot, and think about life consistently. I love her mind.

[SoneBlink]

She's so classy and humble, i love her voice.

[Sombokor]

She is so wise for her age. I'm not surprised her friends choose to spend time with her, she seems like great company.

[adrianavargova]

Anya is highly intelligent. She was born to be in a spotlight. She has got so interesting features that a person must watch her.

[vidhudisney]

The interview was so deep, I even made a few life decisions based on these.

Anya Taylor -Joy's face looks really unique. It's like a very refined sculpture! She's like a real-life elf walking on earth.

[sprezzatura]

It's refreshing to see such a classically beautiful young lady become a proper star. To me she's on par with a young Catherine Deneuve or Monica Bellucci. On top of that she is intelligent and articulate. Just wow.

[MsClaudiaDuran]

She looks like she's from another time period. I'd put her up there with Benedict Cumberbatch, Cillian Murphy, Tilda Swinton, and Idina Menzel as far as unique faces that you have to stop and stare at, wondering if they're attractive or just from another galaxy.

[liamwhalen]

Passionate about being passionate. Your art is in no way insufferable and the passion you bring to it is commendable!

"thank you, please keep hiring me" LMAOO

[borglindehansdottir]

I love her so much !
She's such a good actress ans she seems to be so kind and strong, even if she said she struggle to stand for her.
Her speach is so empowering, for everyone, it's always a plaesure to listen to her, really !

[RayPaganJr]

Anya is the most elegant, graceful, and talented young woman of her and past few generations. Reminds me of Hollywood past. A true beauty.

[daemondost]

She's beautiful, there's no one like her

[diamondfranco]

She said the best fashion advice she's been given is you wear the clothes the clothes don't wear you which is a line in last night in Soho

[duben]

Intelligent! Thoughtful. That's beauty.

[opiaetus]

She’s an artist who has a keen fashion sense, which is great for acting, the kind of roles she chooses reflect it. Like a game, she brings different sides to it.

[naiaaiello]

I can't believe she's only 27. Not because of how she looks, because she looks 22. But she is so wise and mature. As a comment said below, so sophisticated without the fluff and ego. A truly inspiring woman.

[xavisanchezmoreno]

omg she is so wise, i mean her words really touched me. love her<3
