‘No but for real Married at First Sight Australia is top tier reality television,’ another commented.
‘Not her watching MAFS,’ a third said.
It comes after the actress revealed new details about her secretive relationship with her husband Malcolm McRae in a chat for the movie-rating social media site Letterboxd.
After Anya and Chris revealed four of their favourite films, the Furiosa lead admitted that one of her picks, Forrest Gump, had a surprising connection to her engagement to McRae, whom she wed in October in Venice.

According to the Miami-born actress, her 30-year-old musician husband proposed to her at the location of the bench that Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) sits on while recounting his picaresque tale.
‘Forrest Gump, I love that movie, I miss movies like that,’ Anya enthused. ‘Just huge, epic sagas where you just feel every emotion under the sun and there’s like this beautiful poetry underneath it. I love it.’
Chris keyed up Anya’s story, suggesting that he may have already heard the tale.

‘Did something special happen on the Forrest Gump bench?’ he inquired.
‘Yes. My husband accidentally proposed to me on the Forrest Gump bench in Savannah,’ she shared.
‘Complete accident and he’s a boy from Alabama. And I’m blonde. So just, just happened,’ she explained. ‘I hear that music and I cry like a baby.’

The bus stop bench from which Forrest recounted his travels and adventures was a prop for the film, and that bench has since been placed in the Georgia’s Savannah History Museum.
However, a bench was added in its place, and the location has since become a popular spot for tourists and fans of the film, which grossed $678 million dollars against a $55 million budget.
In addition to Forrest Gump, Anya named Hook (1991), Almost Famous (2000) and Interview With A Vampire (1994) as some of her favourite films.
