Overview
- In a late July Elle UK interview Taylor-Joy said her marriage to musician Malcolm McRae has given her a sense of security that has 'emboldened' her to take more risks.
- She described daily habits that help preserve privacy and balance, saying the couple check in each morning, that McRae uses a 'dumb phone', and that she has spent stretches offline to protect her mental health.
- Taylor-Joy is credited as a co-producer on Lucky, which premiered on Apple TV+ on July 15 and has drawn mixed reviews with critics praising her performance but faulting the show's plotting and pacing.
- McRae is portrayed as a creative partner: he performs with SRCHR (formerly more*), has small acting credits including Daisy Jones & The Six, and has a brief role in Lucky.
- The interview frames a broader career pivot for Taylor-Joy from actor to creative lead and suggests her personal stability could shape the roles she accepts and how future projects are marketed.
