Anya Taylor-Joy says marriage to Malcolm McRae fuels confidence to take more risks
Actress Anya Taylor-Joy, known for The Queen’s Gambit and the Dune franchise, told Elle UK that her marriage to musician Malcolm McRae, which took place in April 2022, has given her a heightened sense of security. She said the partnership makes her feel emboldened to take more risks in her career and personal life, adding that she laughs "like 90% of the time".
Taylor‑Joy will reprise her role as Alia Atreides in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Part III, a project that involved filming in desert conditions she described as "wild". She is also producing and starring in the Apple TV+ series Lucky, playing a con‑artist on the run after a botched heist. The interview noted that the couple checks in with each other each morning despite busy schedules, and Taylor‑Joy reflected on past panic attacks on set, saying the support from her husband has helped her mental‑health wellbeing.
