Anya Taylor-Joy (@anyataylorjoy) has always been insecure about the way she looks because it’s been ingrained into her mind that she was ‘weird-looking’ since she was a child when she was bullied for her appearance and looking strange. Maybe this is why she chose to have plastic surgery. She has never confirmed it but fans suspect she has had blepharoplasty, brow lift, nose job, buccal fat removal, and fillers.
Anya Taylor-Joy looks very unique. She easily stands out in a crowd with her striking features. You can’t take your eyes off her once you see her because you get taken with her appearance. You can’t simply ignore her. People might have noticed that because she is often praised for her rare beauty. But not everyone thinks her unusual looks are admirable. And she is one of them.
The Queen’s Gambit star has never appreciated her unique appearance. In fact, she has come to hate the way she looks because as a child, she was bullied for looking strange. As a result, she never learned to find beauty in herself. It became ingrained into her mind that she really must be weird-looking and unappealing if other children said so. And despite her choice of career, she does not think she is beautiful enough to be a star. Was she already headed towards the plastic surgery route then and there?
Anya Taylor-Joy explained in an interview how she never thought of herself as someone who was beautiful saying,
I have never and I don’t think I will ever think of myself as beautiful. I don’t think I’m beautiful enough to be in films. It sounds pathetic and my boyfriend warns me people will think I’m an absolute d*** for saying these things, but I just think I’m weird-looking.
Anya Taylor-Joy never grew out of thinking she looked strange. Not even when she started her career in showbiz where her rare beauty got her noticed. In fact, her delight at bagging the role of Emma in the 2020 adaptation of Jane Austen‘s novel was marred by her insecurity about the way she looked.
I genuinely had a panic attack on Emma because I thought, ‘I am the first ugly Emma and I can’t do this’, because the first line in the movie is, ‘I’m handsome, clever and rich.’
It cannot be shocking to anyone that a person like her would make a choice to have plastic surgery. Many fans think she has changed over the years which has nothing to do with her growing up naturally. The changes are subtle and may escape the eyes of those who are not much familiar with cosmetic surgery, but if examined closely, there are definitely changes, fans believe.
The majority of fans speculate that Anya Taylor-Joy has had plastic surgery done on her eye area. She was always said to have too wide-set eyes. Maybe that’s why she went with brow-lift which is probably what gave her eyes a lifted look with less distance between them. Some also think that she had her droopy outer lower eyelid corners fixed.
Anya Taylor-Joy also is believed to have too much lid space compared to before which could only be the result of a blepharoplasty. Besides that, she also seems to have gotten plastic surgery to change her nose. She most likely got it narrowed, plus the tip was also shaved. Many fans also say that she used to have a slight bump on her nose which is no longer there.
Besides that, The Menu cast is believed to have had buccal fat removal and fillers. It can be a bit contradicting to have both of these plastic surgery procedures but the general consensus among the fans is that her cheeks are much chiseled down and sculpted down compared to before when they looked puffier because she had buccal fat removal to remove the fat from her cheeks and got fillers on her cheekbone to make it look higher.
Some fans argue that Anya Taylor-Joy has not had these plastic surgery procedures, especially buccal fat removal. They think she just lost the baby fat from her cheeks as she grew up. Some also credit the loss of fullness in her cheeks to weight loss from the time when she was filming back-to-back projects and sustained on just diet coke coffee and cigarettes.
That definitely needs to be considered when speculating about her plastic surgery, which is something Anya Taylor-Joy has not yet acknowledged.
