Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – Anya Taylor-Joy Still Doesn't Have A License

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star Anya Taylor-Joy has revealed that she still doesn't have a driver's license, but Chris Hemsworth thinks she has an unofficial one.

Anya Taylor-Joy might be starring in a film that features some insane driving and car stunts, but that doesn't mean any of that can translate into the real world. You have to wonder if, when she auditioned, the topic of whether or not Taylor-Joy had a driver's license ever came up before she got the role, but either way, she walked into the step without a driver's license. We've known about that for a while, but if you thought the production of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga would give Taylor-Joy the kick in the pants she needed to get a license in the real world, that is very much not the case, as she revealed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"I still don't have my license. I haven't been anywhere long enough to get a license," Taylor-Joy, who was born in Miami but raised in Buenos Aires and London, explains. Her costar [Chris Hemsworth] butts in to clarify, "unofficially, she does."

Taylor Joy talked about how walking onto the set of Furiosa and learning something absolutely insane right out of the gate, but it felt right because of what her family is into and what they have done in the past. She explained, "Yeah, it is pretty cool that the first thing I learned to do in a car is a juicy lift 180. I feel pretty secure in that, but I love cars. I love Formula 1. My dad was a power boat racer, so we're just pretty petrol-y as a family,"

From there, in the interview, we see Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth joking about the fact that she doesn't have a license but shouldn't need to do much, given the work she did on Furiosa.

"I know once I have my license, the stupid car that I'm going to get," she tells Hemsworth. "I'll probably break it. It's a Ferrari Dino. Those are hot cars. It's going to be bright yellow, and I'm psyched."

"Your driving test should just be you handing them a DVD of Furiosa: 'You tell me if I can f—ing drive,'" Hemsworth jokes.

It's hilarious that Taylor-Joy is self-aware enough to know that she's probably going to break the first car she gets when she does get her license; we all do; it's kind of a right of passage. The line from Hemsworth about using Furiosa footage as proof that she can drive to the DMV is pretty funny; you have to wonder if an actor has ever tried to do something like that in terms of getting certified for something. If nothing else, if Taylor-Joy had gotten her license after getting the role, she could have written it off as a business expense, saying she needed a license to be in the car movie, and there is something about that is very amusing as well.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: Summary, Cast List, Release Date

Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth star in Academy Award-winning mastermind George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the much-anticipated return to the iconic dystopian world he created more than 30 years ago with the seminal "Mad Max" films. Miller now turns the page again with an all-new original, standalone action adventure that will reveal the origins of the powerhouse character from the multiple Oscar-winning global smash Mad Max: Fury Road. The new feature from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures is produced by Miller and his longtime partner, Oscar-nominated producer Doug Mitchell (Mad Max: Fury Road, Babe), under their Australian-based Kennedy Miller Mitchell banner.

As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home. Taylor-Joy stars in the title role, and along with Hemsworth, the film also stars Alyla Browne and Tom Burke.

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents, in Association with Village Roadshow Pictures, A Kennedy Miller Mitchell Production, A George Miller Film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
