Obsession star Inde Navarrette name-checks Anya Taylor-Joy when asked about Argentina
Obsession star Inde Navarrette named Anya Taylor-Joy when asked about Argentina in an interview with La Nación published on 26 October, saying she would love to go hiking and climbing in Patagonia.
TL;DR
- Navarrette told La Nación that Taylor-Joy is what she knows of Argentina, and she wants to visit Patagonia.
- Taylor-Joy was raised in Buenos Aires until the age of six, then moved to London.
- Obsession reached UK cinemas on 15 May with an 18 certificate.
- Navarrette is due to play Rogue in a 2028 X-Men film.
What Navarrette said about Argentina
The Argentine newspaper asked Navarrette about her connection to Latino culture, after she mentioned an aunt of Latino heritage. The interview covers her path from dog walking and Twitch streaming to a global horror hit.
“I know they have a fellow actress from there, Anya Taylor-Joy,” Navarrette said. La Nación published the exchange in Spanish.
She added that she would love to visit Argentina. Navarrette said hiking and climbing in Patagonia would be “really great” for her.
Why the Taylor-Joy link matters
Taylor-Joy is a British-Argentine actress, according to her IMDb biography. She was raised in Argentina until the age of six, then moved to London.
The family settled in Victoria, and Taylor-Joy later attended Queen’s Gate School in the capital. That gives Navarrette’s remark a UK talent angle, as one of Britain’s best-known screen exports is also Argentina’s best-known actress abroad.
The comment also lands at a busy moment for Navarrette. Focus Features will campaign her for Best Actress at the Oscars, according to Fangoria, which cited Variety.
