Anya Taylor-Joy

ANYA TAYLOR-JOY’S GAMBIT

Anya Taylor-Joy is constantly being “discovered.” At 16, the was discovered by a modeling agent while shopping, and started a career on the runway. A talent agent spotted her modeling, and introduced her to acting. Now she’s 24 and has appeared in a lot of films (she played Barack Obama’s college girlfriend in the film Barry) but in America, WE discovered her during the pandemic. She played the chess prodigy in the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, and had everybody talking about her. She turned up at The Golden Globes, The SAG Awards and The Critics Choice Awards – looking impossibly glamorous – and she won. Today she was back to modeling in the streets of New York- filming segments for Tiffany ads with a male model – and no doubt earning a LOT more than she did when she started her career…
