“She really is extraordinary in every single way,” Nicholas Hoult said of Anya Taylor-Joy, as he introduced his friend and co-star on-stage at the 2022 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, where she was receiving the Actress accolade. He went on to describe how deeply Taylor-Joy cares about not only the characters she plays, but every single voice on set – and beyond.
The actress accepted her trophy from Hoult – her co-star in The Menu – to rapturous applause from the audience, before delivering a poignant speech about equality and “holding the line”.
