Before Anya Taylor-Joy played Beth Harmon in the Netflix hit series, The Queen's Gambit, she was cast alongside James McAvoy in M. Night Shyamalan's psychological thriller films, Split and Glass. Their roles in the films had a disturbing relationship, which makes people wonder how the actors' relationship is in real life. We've heard about co-stars not getting along on set, and with James and Anya's rare public appearances together, it's hard to tell whether they're friends or strictly co-workers.
Here's what we know.
Anya Taylor-Joy Has No Problem Kissing James McAvoy
Anya's first onscreen kiss was with James McAvoy in Split. God really has his favorites. When asked how it was like kissing James who was playing a guy with sixteen personalities, Anya told Conan, "I don't think I had such a hard time in the scene, 'cause I mean, James." So ladies, chill, she's fully aware of how lucky she is.
Anya went on to say that it was probably more challenging for James to kiss her in his nine-year-old boy personality while her eyes were wide open. She said the actor handled it very well, though. Okay, Anya, we get it. He must have been a really good kisser.
They Make Memes Of Each Other As A Prank
Anya revealed that when she and James started working with each other, they would make memes of each other as a prank. Her favorite thing to do was to post pictures of James as Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe inside of his room. How adorable, right? Definitely friendship goals. Now, we're just as curious as you are about the other pranks they've pulled on one another.
They Work So Well Together Onscreen
Anya and James deliver amazing onscreen performances. They have great chemistry that will make you glue your eyes on the screen when they're in a scene together. It probably comes from their fun friendship behind the scenes. Pranking each other is a good way to bond, after all. We just wish they'd work on more projects together. Maybe a rom-com for a change. What do you guys think?
