Rumors began circulating in 2021 that the Queen’s Gambit actress might have gone under the knife, though she has not publicly addressed the speculation, and there is no confirmation that she underwent any surgery.

“She has changed so much! I think she looked her best during the Split era,” one Redditor said, while another wrote, “She was the last person on the earth who needed a buccal fat removal.”

In a 2021 interview with Elle, Anya opened up about being bullied for her appearance when she was in school. “Much the same way as [Queen’s Gambit character] Beth needed chess, I needed acting.

“I needed to believe in a place where I could be valued and appreciated, and actually have something to contribute rather than constantly feeling like, ‘What is wrong with me, and why do I not fit in?’”
