Anya Taylor-Joy, known for her fashion-forward red carpet appearances, was recently seen enjoying a paddleboarding excursion in Key Biscayne, Florida. The British-Argentine actress, 30, wore a black bikini consisting of a halter neck top and high-waisted shorts, paired with a buttoned-up collared shirt, likely to protect her skin from the sun.
Taylor-Joy was accompanied by her husband, Malcolm McRae, 32. At one point, she removed her shirt and shared a kiss with McRae, who was relaxing on his back in the water.
The actress is currently starring in the Apple+ thriller series Lucky, where she portrays a con artist on the run. The show premiered on July 15 and has garnered mixed reviews from critics.
Some reviews have been critical, with The Daily Telegraph awarding the series two stars and calling it 'tediously formulaic'. TV critic Ed Power described the show as a mash-up of clichés and noted that Taylor-Joy's character is largely defined by the men in her life. Roger Ebert's review also gave two stars, criticizing the pacing and character development.
The Guardian gave Lucky three stars, labeling it 'classic summer viewing' but also suggesting it failed to fully commit to its premise. The script and theme tune were also noted as areas for improvement.
Conversely, NME offered a more positive review, awarding the show four stars and describing it as 'instantly gripping, filled with twists and lots of fun'. Critic Nick Levine praised Taylor-Joy's performance, calling her 'riveting' as the 'gimlet-eyed opportunist with a conscience'. Despite acknowledging some cliches, Levine concluded that the series "works all the right angles."
