It is no gambit: You might have been mispronouncing Anya Taylor-Joy‘s title all this time.
Whereas unveiling the trailer to her upcoming film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the 27-year-old pronounced her first title as “anne-ya,” not “awn-ya.”
“Hello everyone, I’m Anya Taylor-Joy,” she mentioned in a Nov. 30 TikTok video, earlier than costar Chris Hemsworth launched himself. “So many wonderful artists worked on this film. We worked on it really, really hard and now it’s yours.”
However the Queen’s Gambit star will not be livid if in case you have been announcing her title incorrectly. In any case, she as soon as let it slide for a whole manufacturing earlier than correcting the crew on the true pronunciation throughout their final day of filming.
“My first director got so angry with me because we had gotten through the entire film and finally I was like, ‘That’s not my name,” Anya recalled in 2021 interview with Extra, admitting that it isn’t her nature to confront folks over the gaffe. “I can’t get myself to do it.”
She added with emphasis on the time that her title is “anne-ya.”
