So, what should you know about Anya Taylor-Joy's eyesight? Well, she has pretty bad vision. "I've got really bad eyesight so I can't see my reflection in car windows or anything," she told Marie Claire in 2017. 

That drawback has brought her an "acute" sense of smell and a pretty amazing way to get into character. As she told Vanity Fair, "I've always been obsessed with scent because I have really terrible eyesight. ...As I started getting a bit older, I became obsessed with apothecaries, and I mixed my own scents [with] notes like damask rose and black pepper, or things that are a bit spicy and out of this world. It's the one thing that I'll be really upset if I forget at home when I'm traveling because it just helps bring you back to yourself. Or for some characters I'll change it up, and then that will instantly put me in a headspace."

That said, Taylor-Joy's now-distinctive and iconic gaze brought childhood bullies. "I can definitely remember when Facebook was a thing and I was never aware that my eyes were far apart and then someone tagged me in a picture with a fish," she told W Magazine. But today, much like her Queens Gambit character, the haters have only made her stronger. "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," she said. "Unfortunately, y'all do."
