In an interview, the actress recalled a tale from when she was just 16 years old. Stating that she wore her mother’s heels because she was going to a party and wanted to practice, The Queen’s Gambit star revealed that a car started following her. She prefaced this by urging people to not do what she did.
“I’m first gonna preface this by saying that my actions were very stupid and I don’t suggest that anybody does what I did. I was 16 and I wanted to wear my mom’s heels because I had a party and I was practicing.”
She further continued,
“So I take my dog for a walk and I see this car and it seems to be following me and I’m like ‘Okay, it’s definitely not following me’. It is following me so I like speed up, pick up the dog and then start running and then this guy sticks out his head out the window and goes ‘If you stop…you won’t regret it'”.
When the person told Taylor-Joy that she won’t regret stopping in her tracks… Anya Taylor-Joy actually stopped walking!

Not thinking straight, Anya Taylor-Joy could have had some very terrible incident happen to her if it was actually a kidnapping van. As The Northman actress continued her tale, it turned out that a woman sitting in the van was from a modeling agency and wanted to hire Taylor-Joy!
“And I stopped. Which is why I don’t think other people should do this because that’s a line from every horror movie ever! It was the head of a modeling agency and she told me off for stopping and then told me to come into the modeling agency the next day with my parents”
Well, this event could have turned out very differently if the actress had met some unfortunate people. Starting her career in modeling, Taylor-Joy went on to receive worldwide fame for movies and shows that she starred in.
