From chess prodigy to iconic video-game character, Anya Taylor-Joy leaves no stone unturned in prep for her roles.
The 26-year-old actor admitted she recently got into arcade gaming, in order to prepare for her voice role of Princess Peach in the upcoming 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie'.
As per a report by US-based entertainment outlet, Deadline, 'The Queen's Gambit' actor told Modern Luxury San Diego that she became a "gamer" and that it was "really fun" for her.
