Anya Taylor-Joy’s fans defend her against ‘far apart eyes’ claims

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Throughout Anya Taylor-Joy’s career, she never felt confident about her “far apart eyes.”

An interview that the 27-year-old did with W magazine back in 2016 has resurfaced, following a recent tweet that has gone viral talking about her facial features.

The account Pop Tingz posted about the old profile on April 14 and noted how Joy stopped looking in mirrors after seeing mean comments online.

In the “W” story, the “Split” star recalled how social media contributed to her low self-esteem.

“I can definitely remember when Facebook was a thing and I was never aware that my eyes were far apart, and then someone tagged me in a picture with a fish and they were like, ‘This is you ’cause your eyes are, like, here,’” she explained to the publication.

“And I was really upset about it and I didn’t enjoy it and I kind of stopped looking in mirrors for a very long time,” she admitted.

The “Queen’s Gambit” icon went on: “I still don’t really spend a lot of time in front of mirrors because I don’t really have to deal with my face. Unfortunately, y’all do.”

She also recollected how her friends used to throw balls at her head because her “eyes really were on both sides of my face.”

“It became common knowledge in the playground that if you wanted me to catch a ball, you had to throw it at the side of my head ’cause if you just threw it straight here, I’d just be like, ‘Oh, my God. What? What happened? What’s going on?’” she sighed.

Joy also confessed that she’s learned to love herself over time.

“And now it’s like my face has grown a bit more. I’m kind of growing into myself. I’m a bit less awkward,” she said.

Many fans rushed to Joy’s defense following the unearthed interview.

“People are making fun of her appearance? They must need glasses or something. She look good to me,” one user wrote on Twitter in response to Pop Tingz’s post.

Another chimed in: “This is heartbreaking. It’s simply because she looks ethereal, and not like the cookie cutter influencer/Kardashian image that’s absolutely friggen everywhere. Anytime I see her on screen, I’m just hypnotized and captivated by her beauty. She is my #1 girl crush til the day I die.”

“She’s pretty tho? Why listen to ugly internet trolls,” someone else pondered.

“She’s gorgeous. People need to leave her alone,” another demanded, while one cosigned that toxic haters should back off.

“People truly do live out their mean girl fantasies on the internet far too much, she’s beautiful, stop commenting on how people look,” they said.
