Anya Taylor-Joy revealed she has a pretty useful skill for an actor; what could it be? Well, it's crying on cue! The glamorous 25-year-old actress revealed the handy skill on The Late Late Show with James Corden and revealed to the talk show host she regularly uses that skill to mess with her friends.

While promoting her new film, Last Night in Soho, Anya Taylor-Joy appeared on the talk show last night alongside Ben Schwartz, where she shed some light on her secret talent.

When asked about her secret talent the red carpet queen told James, "I learned to do it because the first time I ever had a crying scene in a film, I didn't know how to approach it. So, I was like, 'I know — I'm going to think about everything bad that's ever happened to me from 5 o'clock in the morning onward.'"

"And they kept pushing my scene to the end of the day, so eventually I cried for 12 hours straight — not on camera. And they're like, 'It's time,' and I'm like, 'I got nothing for you, man.' So, yeah, [I learned to do it] kind of out of necessity."
