Anya Taylor-Joy's Personal Reflections
In a recent interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, Anya Taylor-Joy opened up about her love story with husband Malcolm McRae. The Golden Globe winner gushed about their meeting in a music studio, revealing they share the same birthday, April 16th.
'I love him so much,' she told Barrymore. 'He's the absolute greatest. My dad once told me you're not looking for another half to make you whole—you are whole. And if you're lucky, you meet another whole, and you become a greater sum of your parts.'
She added that McRae provides a 'nutritious and safe' environment that encourages her growth in unexpected and beautiful ways, concluding, 'Yeah, I just, he's the best.'
