Anya Taylor, in an interview with The Sun, revealed that she does not think she is beautiful enough to be cast in movies and this is why she can’t see herself on the big screen.

The Queen’s Gambit actress stated, “I think I'm weird-looking” and she has even called herself ‘ugly’.

The 24-year-old star told the Sun: “I have never and I don’t think I will ever think of myself as beautiful. I don’t think I’m beautiful enough to be in films.

“It sounds pathetic and my boyfriend warns me people will think I’m an absolute d*** for saying these things, but I just think I’m weird-looking,” Anya added.

“I won’t go to the cinema to watch my own film, I’ll watch it before. The beauty of being in your own skin is that you don’t have to look at your own face.” She further added.

Taylor admitted that she had a panic attack when she was offered a role in 'Emma'.

'I thought, "I am the first ugly Emma and I can’t do this", because the first line in the movie is, "I’m handsome, clever and rich,"’ Anya described her feelings.
