First up was her starring role in Autumn de Wilde’s theatrical adaptation of Emma. Then, after just one day off, she began work on the psychological horror film Last Night in Soho before going straight into filming The Queen’s Gambit.
“I survived on Diet Coke, cigarettes and coffee, and by the end I was like, ‘I have to eat vegetables,'” she told Tatler magazine at the time.
When it came to filming the Netflix miniseries, Anya admitted she was in bed by 8pm every night, but struggled with the fact that like her friends in their 20s, she wanted to socialize and party.
“It means go home, take a bath, get up for work. I sound crazy but that’s what’s working for me right now,” she added.
