The Queen's Gambit's Anya Taylor-Joy on Benefit of Virtual Awards Shows: 'I Can Mute Myself and Run Around My Bedroom'

"It was such a beautiful group of people that treated each other with such kindness," Taylor-Joy says of loving the experience making the series. "I've never played a character that was that close to me before that I had to give so many of my mannerisms to."

The actress says she's stayed in touch with her costars via a lively group text chain in which "so much crazy stuff happens that I cannot possibly keep on top of it." "I'm really grateful that my friends keep me on top of it because otherwise I would know nothing. I do not lurk on the internet at all. So I'll get texts from [co-star and fellow Emmy nominee] Moses Ingram being like, 'Hey, Drake just name-dropped Beth Harmon [in a song].' And I'm like, 'Thank you for telling me that. I appreciate that.' It's crazy."

anyataylorjoy THANK YOU for this. The show has meant a lot. If you're ever up for chess, I'm game. 👏♟️ TheQueensGambit

Well, I've watched it like 4x already. It became my 'go to' binge if I can't decide what to watch.
