    Anna Taylor-Joy is weird.

    She’s absolutely magnetic on camera, but I don’t know if she’s actually that attractive in the real world, or if it’s just that she looks great on camera.

    Reminds me of how (IRC) some Hollywood insiders call actors Lollipop people. Huge head, big eyes, tiny body. Looks great on film, face really fills up the frame, you can see their expressions better, relatively small body looks normal sized.

    It’s like the Simpsons joke where they go to a film set, and someone explains that cows don’t look like cows on film, so they use horses.

      Steven Colbert said in a recent interview with Taylor Tomlinson that she should be prepared that some of the most beautiful people on Earth look like lizards in real life because that’s just how filming works. So you might be on to something

        Taylor Tomlinson is pretty damn funny. Saw her live a couple years ago and had a good time. Her opener also killed it, I just wish I could remember his name.

      I’ve never heard that before, but it makes sense.

      Having a unique face (as long as it’s not repulsive) is more important than having a pretty but forgettable face in movies.
