“I’ve got three Davids in my life. My grandfather, David Bowie… and David Attenborough. And I love them.” ❤️
Anya Taylor-Joy joins us for a very wholesome game of Swipe Stuff, revealing the books, music, fashion, films and random objects she’d swipe green… and the few she’d definitely swipe red.
From her Twilight obsession and favourite Disney classics to her love of David Bowie, David Attenborough, Lionel Messi, The Beatles, astrology and lucky charms, Anya shares the stories behind the things she loves most. Plus, she explains why haggis in a box is a hard no, and why she’s been falling asleep to David Attenborough documentaries every night.
“Lucky” debuts globally on Apple TV with the first two episodes on July 15, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through 19 August.

Annie talks about her favorite things and memories while participating in a \"swipe\" game for Ladbible. She discusses her love for Disney, the Beatles, astrology, and her admiration for various famous \"Davids,\" while sharing personal anecdotes about her heritage and a meeting with Paul McCartney.
I've got three Davids in my life, my grandfather, David Bowie and David Attenborough, and I love them.
Okay, should we bring in the other David?
Other David?
Bring him in!
I love him so much!
Hi, I'm Annie to the Joy, and I am here to swipe stuff for Ladbible.
Oh my god!
Hard, yes!
I don't know, like...
This was so much fun. I so remember being completely obsessed with the only correct answer, which is Team Edward, obviously.
And, yeah, my parents used to tell me I had to go to bed, and I would stay up and read it under the covers.
Hard green.
Why Team Edward?
Because he's a vampire. Like, come on!
Yeah, if I had the option to be a vampire in life, I think I'd do it. I'd be down.
Great way to start. I've never seen someone decide so...
I was so excited! I haven't seen, like, a physical copy of this book in forever.
Love.
What?
This is so fun. Okay.
Disney?
Yeah, Disney classics, Disney kids films.
Disney classics. Heavily here.
I love Disney. I know every word to every song.
If you're on a road trip, which I often am, it's just a crowd pleaser.
You put any of them on, and you're just, like, bang in there. Love them.
Of those three, what's your favourite?
What am I picking?
I love the intensity. I'm like, oh my god, how do I pick this?
I think probably Aladdin, I would say.
Though, I remember when the Stitch movies first came out, they did these incredible adverts for them
where they inserted Stitch into, like, other Disney movies.
And the tagline was, there's one in every family.
And I felt very connected to that.
And the Beauty and the Beast one of that was really, really good.
Which Disney film has the best soundtrack?
I mean, Phil Collins' Eight on Tarzan. That was so good.
Which one? Did Elton John do Lion King?
Yeah.
Yeah. So good.
They really understood the assignment.
And if you want to go, like, a little bit darker with it,
Hunchback of Notre Dame is criminally underrated, I think.
Did somebody say yes?
They said f*** yeah.
Yeah, f*** yeah.
Okay.
Is that haggis in a box?
There's so many things wrong with that sentence.
As a proud vegetarian since the age of eight,
haggis is not really for me.
And the idea of haggis in a box is kind of crazy.
I don't think I should have to explain why that's wrong.
David Bowie, Hunky Dory.
I think he's still, other than my husband, my biggest crush.
I'm obsessed with David.
I'd like to say that I've got three Davids in my life.
My grandfather, David Bowie and David Attenborough.
And I love them.
Yeah, David's my fave.
Okay, should we bring in the other David?
You have other David?
Bring him in.
I love him so much.
This is David Attenborough and he very firmly goes in green.
I have been falling asleep to his show on Asia for, like, the last two months.
It's so great. I'm so grateful that somebody cares about the planet and is still around.
So I hope that we have many more years with Mr. David Attenborough.
It's a tiny message.
I mean, this is, yeah, hard green.
So exciting what's going on.
I was actually in a phone-free event recently.
And somebody that was working the tables, a waiter, came up to me and was like,
Just so you know, Argentina is just one minute.
I was like, what?
So thank you, Messi. Thank you for making our country so proud.
What does Messi mean to the Argentinian people?
Everything. Football means everything.
It's very interesting being Anglo-Argentine because neither country messes around with football.
This is the Beatles.
I think I'd be the only person in the world if I put this in red.
But it's firmly a green.
I met Paul McCartney a couple of years ago.
And it was maybe my favorite interaction because I was sitting in a hotel
and I saw this lovely man walking around in the garden and spending time with the flowers.
And then as he walked towards me, I was like,
F*** McCartney.
And he came up to me and he said,
I recognize you from the cover of magazines.
Have you ever smelt sweet pea?
And I was like, no, Paul.
I have not.
And then I smelled the sweet pea and then he went on his way.
And I could have died then.
I think that was my peak.
Yeah, it felt great.
On that, do you have a favorite Beatles?
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's not Paul, is it?
It is Paul!
No, it's a nice...
I feel like the...
I'm so nervous.
I feel like the combination of Paul and John is where it's at.
And the fact that they respond so much in songs.
I love that as a music fan.
Just listening to the response songs back and forth.
Ooh!
Okay.
We've got some Tabby's.
I love a clove and toe.
I will say I prefer a hooved...
Sometimes there are shoes that look a bit more like pig's trotters.
That's less my vibe.
This is a bit more goat-minded.
So I'll take Tabby's.
Yeah, green.
I like that they're a little bit evil.
So you're wearing a pretty normal outfit.
And then they look down and you've got some toe cleavage going on.
And it's just a little bit weird.
Yeah, I just think it's a light bit of b****ry.
Which I enjoy.
Astrology.
Behind it says, quick diamond Aries.
First child of the zodiac.
Fire, friends and adventure.
Love the sound of that.
I am going to go fully green.
I love astrology.
Maybe a couple of years ago I got into Vedic astrology.
Which made me feel a lot more seen.
I was into Western astrology.
But Vedic astrology was where it's at.
And I very much connect to my Aries roots.
What are the kind of traits of an Aries, typically?
You know, fire starter.
That song.
It's that.
Yeah, my husband and I are born on the same day.
We have a lot of similarities.
A lot of differences.
But yeah, we're both too proud Aries.
Kitty.
Ooh.
Good luck.
Fortune.
Okay, we love...
Is this aventuri?
Yes.
For real?
Okay, this is so sick.
In terms of a lucky talisman, I...
Yeah, I do subscribe to it.
My dad always says the harder you work, the luckier you get.
Which I agree with.
But I also think it can't hurt you to have some good luck on your side too.
Are you a superstitious person?
Yes.
My mum's side of the family is Spanish.
And my dad's side is Argentine.
We're superstitious in everything.
David.
And of all the objects and all of the items,
what would be your ultimate swipe green?
Um...
The Davids.
Or the Ds. Davids and Disney.
I love that he's just my little friend.
Can you, with the paddle racket,
like, mime your best serve for us?
Slay.
How does it work?
Is that it?
Is that the racket?
Oh, hang on a sec.
