Big Car Movie star Anya Taylor-Joy can't drive
Despite driving really fast in George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Taylor-Joy doesn't actually have a driver's license

Anya Taylor-Joy is definitely cool and definitely smart, but she still can’t even parallel park. The Dune: Part Two actor doesn’t have a driver’s license, despite the fact that she stars in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the biggest, fastest car movie of the year. “I’m never in one place long enough to get one,” Taylor-Joy said in a recent Variety cover story. “I also feel like I probably need to learn how to parallel park. That’s something I don’t know how to do.”
While this does seem pretty fucking insane from a safety perspective, it’s also very method for this franchise in particular. What is Mad Max about if not reckless driving? Is it more dangerous to drive without a piece of plastic in your pocket or with a dude playing electric guitar and an entire amp system on your hood? Obviously the latter! Taylor-Joy just had to manifest that everything would be okay. “I don’t think I allowed myself to think about crashing anything,” she said, adding that she’d simply try to get a little more sleep before shooting any chase scenes involving heavy machinery. (A necessary protection, as some of her call times were apparently as early as 1:45 a.m.)
