An utterly incredible talent – my absolute favorite actress working right now. The only reason I’m even considering going to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie.’

Others were left stunned to learn that Anya actually spent several years living in Argentina as a child, with one person writing: ‘So, Anya Taylor Joy is Argentinian!?!? She was just on my TikTok speaking full-a** Spanish!’

Another chimed in: ‘Anya Taylor Joy is Spanish?!!!’

Anya, who lived in Buenos Aires until she was six, previously addressed her roots during an appearance on Saturday Night Live in 2021.

She said: ‘Now that you’re hearing my accent, you may be surprised to know I was born in Miami, raised between Argentina and London, and my first language is Spanish.’

The star previously told BuzzFeed that she learned English by watching films like School of Rock.

She said: ‘At the school I went to when I first moved to London they would play 2003 film School of Rock every Friday.

‘At that time, I didn’t really speak much English, if any, so that and Harry Potter and Jumanji are like how I learned English!’

The blonde beauty also told the publication that should would ‘love to make a movie in Spanish’ and work alongside Spanish-speaking directors.

The Oscar-winning actor, 50, was lauded by followers for his ‘excellent pronunciation and flow’ as he spoke with La Cadena SER about new movie Air – with many left baffled at the bilingual actor’s apparent new grasp of the language.

However, the Argo star’s Spanish skills were in fact acquired when he was just 13 years old and filming in Mexico for a year.

He previously  said on the Kelly Clarkson show in 2020: ‘I speak it passively. I did this little kids TV series when I was young and when I was 13, the season that year was (shot) in Mexico, so I was in Mexico for a year and that’s how I picked it up.’
