Anya Taylor-Joy Breaks Down Her Most Iconic Characters

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star Anya Taylor-Joy joins British GQ as she revisits some of the most notable film characters in her career so far: from playing Casey Cooke in M. Night Shyamalan’s Split to her leading role as Beth Harmon in The Queen’s Gambit.

“I was very lucky to have a dance background,” explains Taylor-Joy as she breaks down her portrayal of Beth Harmon in The Queen’s Gambit. “Ballet specifically was really helpful in terms of discipline and understanding choreography. Ballet has played a huge part in the way that I act—because it’s finger choreography, that’s what you’re doing.” Watch the full episode of British GQ’s Iconic Characters as Anya Taylor-Joy breaks down her most iconic movie roles.
