Anya Taylor-Joy Covers Vogue Australia
Anya Taylor-Joy is on the cover of Vogue Australia. The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Highlights from her interview are below.
On meeting Furiosa director, George Miller: “I got a text from [filmmaker] Edgar Wright that said, ‘George Miller’s going to call you.’ And I was like, ‘Random. But exciting.’ We just had a really long two-hour conversation about all of these things, which now, looking back, makes a lot of sense, but at the time felt pretty random. He was like, ‘How are you about stunts, and do you like motorbikes, and would you be okay with this, and tell me about your background as a dancer.'”
On how she processed taking on such a beloved character: “I don’t know if you have this, but my brain doesn’t allow me to think about things that would potentially cause me to not do something, until it’s way too fucking late. And then you’re doing it, and it’s only afterwards that I’m like, ‘Oh no! This is big. And intense. And there’s a lot of expectation on it.’ At the time, it just feels like your life, you don’t necessarily bring outside forces into it, but then as soon as it’s over, I have a full-blown panic attack.”
