Her latest rol, however, sparks an interesting saga amidst the promotional events of the film. She doesn’t have a driving license.

Driving without a license

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Taylor-Joy confessed, “I still don’t have my license. I’ve not been anywhere long enough to get a license.” However, her co-star Chris Hemsworth humorously chimed in saying “Unofficially, she does now,” referring to her skills gained during shooting.

Her love for Formula 1 racing and her father’s job as a powerboat racer show Taylor-Joy’s passion for cars. In spite of lacking a driving permit, however, she was excited to take up high-octane challenges such as the juicy lift 180 seen on The Graham Norton Show.
