Anya Taylor-Joy Recalls Turning Down Disney to Star in ‘The Witch’ Instead
These days, Anya Taylor-Joy is seemingly EVERYWHERE – and that’s a good thing, to be clear! – but there was a time not all that long ago when none of us knew her name. That was, of course, until her breakout role in the Robert Eggers horror movie The Witch back in 2015, which launched Taylor-Joy’s career and led to subsequent roles in Split, Glass, The New Mutants, The Northman and the upcoming The Menu, as well as George Miller’s Furiosa.
But let’s jump back to 2015 for a minute. In a new chat with Harper’s Bazaar this week, Anya Taylor-Joy recalls that she was facing down a very tough career dilemma at the time. When she was offered The Witch, Taylor-Joy was forced to turn down another big opportunity.
“I remember it was the same day I got asked to be in a Disney Channel pilot, and it was so exciting to be offered anything at all that I ran around the house like a loon,” Taylor-Joy tells the outlet. “But I just had this really good feeling about The Witch that made me willing to forego the Disney experience for the thing that felt unknown to me, the thing that felt sacred.”
She says of her experience on The Witch, “It gave me the cornerstones of the way I work now, which is essentially the idea that there is no hierarchy on set: you work hard, you stay on top of the shots and you don’t assume anyone else is going to do that for you. Your title doesn’t stop at actor – you’re a creative on this film, and that’s how you need to approach it.”
“I thought I’d done a really bad job, and I saw myself failing miserably with this dream I’d had for such a long time,” she admits. “I guess I’m not always the best judge of my own work.”
Flashing forward to “The Queen’s Gambit,” the Netflix limited series sensation starring Taylor-Joy as a damaged chess prodigy, the actress added, “I think spending seven episodes with Beth was good. Any less, I would’ve felt cheated or I would’ve felt like I didn’t spend the time with her to make sure that she was ok. It sounds mental, but I know you understand what I mean.”
This trick became his trademark, and he performed it in various venues and stages throughout his career. Hall's levitation illusion was so convincing that many spectators believed he had supernatural powers. In addition to his levitation trick, Hall also incorporated elements of mentalism into his performances. He would accurately predict the choices made by audience members or seemingly read their minds. These mind-reading acts left spectators astonished and questioning how Hall achieved such feats. Another notable aspect of Hall's magic was his use of props. He often incorporated everyday objects into his tricks, such as playing cards, coins, and handkerchiefs. Through his skilled manipulation, Hall could make these ordinary items disappear, reappear, or transform into something else entirely. Although Hall achieved great success as a magician, he remained humble and sought to create an intimate connection with his audience. He believed that magic should evoke wonder and amazement, and he worked tirelessly to create unforgettable experiences for his spectators. Nanly P. Hall's performances left a lasting impact on the world of magic. His unique style and creative illusions continue to inspire magicians today. Through his art, Hall showed that magic is not just about tricks and illusions but is a form of entertainment that can captivate and astonish people of all ages. His legacy lives on, and his contributions to the world of magic will always be remembered..
