Anya Taylor-Joy has huge, wide-set eyes, impossible to ignore on any screen. Today, they are part of what makes her unique. But at school, those same eyes were the reason her classmates called her a ‘fish’ 🐠
The actress confessed that the nickname stuck with her so deeply that she began avoiding mirrors. Entire years without looking herself in the face, carrying an image of herself that others had cruelly constructed.
Today, having become one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces, she still says: “I have never considered myself beautiful, and I don’t think I ever will”. Sometimes the hardest reflection to change is the one left by other people’s words.
