Anya Taylor-Joy and Malcolm McRae - Application made on famous film bank

How and particularly where did "The Queen's Gambit" star Anya Taylor-Joy (28) actually receive her marriage proposal from her husband Malcolm McRae (30)? The actress has now revealed this secret - and in doing so, she gave quite an intriguing location.

Proposal at the "Forrest Gump" Bench - A Complete Coincidence

This is connected to a very famous film: "Forrest Gump" from 1994, for which Tom Hanks (67) received an Oscar for best actor. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic's release in cinemas, a clip was published on Instagram featuring Taylor-Joy in an interview with her "Mad Max: Fury Road" co-star Chris Hemsworth (40).

Hemsworth asks her if anything "Special" happened to her at the iconic bench in the film. In response, the 28-year-old revealed: "Yes, my husband proposed to me accidentally at the 'Forrest Gump' bench in Savannah." It was a "complete coincidence." However, there are also other parallels to the film: "And he's a Young Man from Alabama and I'm blonde, so... it just happened." The film music also means a lot to her: "I hear this music and cry like a baby."

The bench plays a central role in the 1994 film, in which Sally Field (77) and Robin Wright (58) also appeared. The majority of the story is told in flashbacks, with the film character Forrest surprising us with his exciting life story while he waits for the bus on the bench. The original bench from the film is in the Savannah History Museum in Georgia. It is believed that the couple became engaged on a similar bench at the bus stop Chippewa Square in Savannah, where the scenes were shot.

Couple had Two Weddings

The actress and the musician are believed to have been dating since May 2021. They secretly married in New Orleans in April 2022 before having a second, fairytale wedding in Venice in October 2023. The two, who also share a birthday on April 16, regularly post each other in social media.
