Anya Taylor-Joy
was born on April 16, 1996, in Miami. Coming from an Anglo-Hispanic family, she
lived for a time in the USA then in Argentina and London, allowing her to be perfectly
bilingual.
Trained in ballet and dance, she nevertheless
turned to an acting career and started with a small role in Vampire Academy in
2014. If her participation was not credited, she stood out the following year
by becoming the heroine of the horror film The Witch. Screened at the Sundance
Film Festival, this film was a huge critical success.
Taylor-Joy told the outlet: “I have never and I don’t think I will ever
think of myself as beautiful. I don’t think I’m beautiful enough to be in
films. It sounds pathetic and my boyfriend warns me people will think I’m an
absolute d— for saying these things, but I just think I’m weird-looking.”
