Is Anya Taylor-Joy Coming Back to Peaky Blinders Season 6?
Anya’s social media platforms are… wow.
As a female writer myself, there’s nothing I love more than seeing young Hollywood actors and actresses gain confidence over the years.
Especially if they (and keep in mind, most of them did) experience any type of bullying when they were younger as Anya did.
Now that she’s in her twenties, she’s glowing with confidence!
She’s also body positive and often shares stunning photos in bikini suits on her Instagram.
She also often talks publicly about overcoming all the nasty rumors going around, which is an amazing thing to witness.
Many producers shut down Anya at the auditions calling her either ugly or saying her eyes will creep people out.
Little did they know that Anya is not a pushover and she would never yield.
