Anya Taylor-Joy sat down with Variety to debate her marriage, profession and more, and her swan-inspired cover shoot highlighted the 28-year-old actress’ graceful demeanor. In multiple shots for the publication, the Furiosa star posed in a white gown, enveloping her in a wave-like portrait.
Within the principal image, her full dress was captured — a protracted, strapless white gown with an identical train that surrounded her frame, as if she were in Swan Lake. The next snapshots from the shoot were black and white photos of the Golden Globe Award winner. In a second outfit for the publication, Anya wore what seemed to be a white spiked, form-fitting top.
While speaking with the outlet, Anya gushed about her “magical” wedding to husband Malcolm McRae in 2022. While noting they “were together not very long,” the Split star rehashed the moment they tied the knot.
“When you already know, you already know … Malcolm FaceTimed his family from the church. We were like, ‘Hiii!’” Anya said. “But they knew — we were engaged for slightly while.”
She also revealed when Malcolm — a musician and frontman for the band More — proposed.
“We got engaged while I used to be shooting The Menu,” she said, referring to the horror-comedy that premiered in 2022. “We kept it a secret from our friends until some newspaper blew it up.”
Since Anya is considered one of Hollywood’s most highly sought-after actors, she appeared in considered one of the 12 months’s most famous motion sci-fi movies: Dune: Part Two. Nonetheless, fans noticed her role was transient. She portrayed the younger sister of Timothée Chalamet‘s character, Paul Atreides, named Alia, in a single scene.
While recalling how she persuaded director Denis Villeneuve to forged her, Anya noted it didn’t take much convincing.
“Before I even sat down, he was like, ‘I need you to be in “Dune,” but you may’t do it!’” she explained, referring to her already hectic filming schedule on the time. “I used to be like, ‘Please!’ I skipped all of the stages of grief and went straight to begging. I used to be like, ‘I can do that. I will be in Australia and Abu Dhabi at the identical time.’ He wanted me to be a part of the universe. We kept in contact. I just had this sense that it wasn’t over.”
Fortunately, while she was filming her latest movie, Furiosa, Anya got a call from Denis who informed her, “‘I made a cope with the studio’: If I used to be on budget and on time, I could do that.’ I told my husband and my parents, and I took my mum. I asked Denis to inform the forged beforehand. I said, ‘I can’t just show up. Please don’t do this to me.’”
