Anya Taylor-Joy Avoids Mirrors Because Her Eyes Are ‘So Far Apart’
Anya Taylor-Joy attends the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 10, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California.
Anya Taylor-Joy has a unique face you can’t forget after seeing her: high cheekbones, wide-set eyes and a pointy chin. However, it wasn’t until the criticisms of those on social media that she felt self-conscious about the distance between her eyes. In 2016, the actress did an interview with W Magazine in which she was immediately asked if she’s ever felt “self-conscious” over her facial features.
The publication flat-out asked the then 20-year-old actress, “You have those beautiful eyes and they’re so far apart. When you were a kid, did they make you self-conscious?” The Witch star said she was “never aware” that her eyes were far apart. Until someone tagged her on Facebook in “a picture with a fish, and they were like, ‘This is you ’cause your eyes are like here.'”
Taylor-Joy’s confidence in herself plummeted as she recalled, “I kind of stopped looking in mirrors for a very long time. I still don’t really spend a lot of time in front of mirrors because I don’t really have to deal with my face. Unfortunately, y’all do.” Anya later told interviewer Lynn Hirschberg that she was still “growing into” herself and felt a lot “less awkward” as a result.

These Celebrities Speak Another Language Fluently
Some celebrities have made it obvious that they speak another language. Whether it is from a thick accent or speaking in another language in films or music, we can easily tell when someone is multilingual. However, there are some stars we would have never guessed spoke in anything besides their native tongue. The biggest surprise of all is when our favorite actor or musician speaks more than two languages!
Due to their cultural heritage, some stars have picked up a second language due to where their family is from. Others have found a love for language in their travels or a genuine interest in linguistics. Whatever the reason, it is impressive when a person can dedicate themselves to adding another language to their repertoire. If you needed a reason to pick up another language, these celebrities’ success is inspiring.
Take a look below at which celebrities can speak two or more languages:
