The family moved to London when Anya was six. “But then, because of the age gap, I was raised kind of like an only child. “I’m lucky enough to come from a big family,” she says. “Always laughing and dancing and very passionate about the world.”Īnya is the youngest – by far – of six siblings: her nearest sister is seven years older and her oldest sister is in her 50s. Her mum is a Spanish-English psychologist: “A real Stevie Nicks character,” says Taylor-Joy. Her father is Scottish-Argentinian and a former power boast racing world champion. My mum’s immediate reaction was to put me in front of Oliver & Company and say: ‘Baby, sing the songs.’ That way she knew my brain was still intact.” The horse got spooked, I fell off and I had concussion. When I was growing up in Argentina, I was once out horse riding. “My mum and I say: ‘What a woman!’ to each other all the time. “Oh my God, I love Oliver & Company,” gushes the 20-year-old. A geyser of enthusiasms – we’re totally digging the apposite second part of her surname – within the hour she has declared herself a fan-girl for Jamie Lee Curtis, Bill Nighy, Benh Zeitlin, and don’t even get her started on Disney films. “Do you mind if I give you a hug?” asks Anya Taylor-Joy, already mid-pounce.
