Anya Taylor-Joy is likely feeling grateful for her security team after one fan relentlessly pursued getting an autograph … ’cause they were able to keep him away, but it took WORK!
Check out this wild video that’s making the rounds online … you see the actress — who’s in France promoting her new flick, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” — making her way through a crowd of adoring fans shouting her name, and a bunch of people following her.
Anya — rocking a body-hugging orange dress and an oversized sun hat — tries to keep a cool demeanor as she walks alongside her security guard and other members of her team … that is, until one dude insists on trying to get her John Hancock … very aggressively.
The fan keeps putting himself directly in front of Anya’s path — despite the fact she’s already politely declined signing an autograph … and eventually, starts full-on rushing at the actress a number of times, forcing Anya’s security guard to drag him back by the arm.
Anya repeatedly apologizes to the fans, eventually finding rescue in her awaiting town car … where she’s able to finally get away from all the madness. Luckily, the guy stays away.
This is probably just a taste of the frenzy awaiting the actress … as the highly anticipated ‘Mad Max’ prequel is making its grand debut at the Cannes Film Festival — where there will be hundreds of photographers documenting the red carpet.
‘Furiosa’ isn’t the only buzzy premiere headed to Cannes … as “The Apprentice,” starring Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, and “Emilia Pérez,” starring Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, is also hitting the film festival.
As for Anya though … she’s a rising star, and this is unfortunately part of the biz.
Hopefully these security guys get a raise … ’cause they did a good ass job here.
