FURIOSA star Anya Taylor-Joy has revealed how the new action film’s production team used artificial intelligence to make another actress look like her.
On Tuesday, the movie star appeared on Live with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, where she surprised the hosts with her revelations.

It came after Kelly, 53, mentioned that another actress with a striking resemblance to Anya, 28, had been cast in the film.
Anya explained that although it may appear that way on screen, the stars don’t actually share many physical similarities.
“We’re actually not that much alike. It’s AI, which is really crazy,” Anya admitted, referring to actress Alyla Browne, who played the younger version of her character.
She added that creator and director George Miller wanted a seamless transition between the two Furiosa and using AI was the best way to do that.

Kelly was left open-mouthed, completely amazed at how technology made the character’s transformation so realistic.
Anya continued: “They were able to compose our faces and it works on a scale, so at the beginning of the film it’s 35% of my face and then it goes up to 80%. [percent].”
Mark, 53, was just as surprised as his wife, responding: “Wow,” while Kelly, still in disbelief, responded: “You’re kidding!”
Anya agreed that it was an unbelievable simulation and lived up to the director’s expectations.
Furiosa is the fifth film in the Mad Max saga, opening in theaters on Friday.
It tells the origin story of renegade warrior Furiosa before meeting and joining Mad Max, according to IMDB.
Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke and Nicholas Hoult are also part of the star-studded cast.
The film premiered last week at the Cannes Film Festival in the south of France and received rave reviews.
Photos captured the blonde beauty at the event wearing short black shorts and a silver cardigan, without a bra, exposing her bare midriff and chest.
She completed her look with black strappy high heels, full makeup and long hair falling straight down.
In fact, we are not very similar. It’s AI, which is really crazy.

Anya recently recalled Variety that she had a rollercoaster of emotions while watching clips of the film.
“The first three minutes, I’m crying,” the Fury Road star confessed. “And after that, I can’t talk. I found it very traumatizing to watch.”
The Argentine actress is arguably best known for her starring role in the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit, which earned her a Golden Globe.
Last year, she teased that the historical drama had been renewed for a second season, exciting fans awaiting its return.
“The Queen’s Gambit Season 2,” Anya posted on X, formerly Twitter, although it has since been deleted.
It’s unknown whether the popular series has been greenlit for a second season, and reports have circulated that plans for that to happen are slim.
