Last year, the Golden Globe winner revealed that she was suffering with burnout while filming The Queens's Gambit, as it came right off the back of filming two movies.
First up was her lead role in Autumn de Wilde's big-screen adaptation of Emma. Then after just one day off she began work on psychological horror Last Night in Soho, before going straight into filming The Queen's Gambit.
'I survived on Diet Coke, cigarettes and coffee, and by the end of it, I was like, "I need to eat a vegetable,"' she told Tatler magazine at the time.

By the time she got around to filming the Netflix miniseries, Anya admitted she was in bed by 8pm every night, yet struggled with the fact she wanted to be out socialising and partying like her friends in their 20s.
'It's: go home, have a bath, get up for work. I sound mental, but that's what's working for me right now,' she added.
Production on the latest Mad Max instalment Furiosa was shut down in Sydney last week after legendary director George Miller caught Covid.
Daily Mail Australia revealed the production, which has been under way in a number of locations in and around Sydney since June, has been suspended for a week with all on-screen filming halted until at least August 15.

It's understood Miller, 77, tested positive to Covid and was immediately forced to isolate at his Sydney home.
The setback echoes Miller's infamous shoot for Mad Max: Fury Road back in 2012 which was plagued by a number of costly delays and production issues.
The shoot initially began in Namibia but encountered some public relations hiccups after the Namibian Conservation Coast and Management Project accused the producers of damaging a number of plant and animal species in a leaked draft.
The filmmakers later dismissed these reports as 'rhetoric'.
Re-shoots later took place in Potts Hill and Penrith Lakes in Western Sydney but poor weather led to a number of delays.
Years later it was also revealed that tensions between Mad Max: Fury Road stars Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy also led to major disruptions on set, with Theron later admitting she demanded protection from Hardy at one point.
Speaking to writer Kyle Buchanan for his book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, Theron said Hardy's lateness on set caused tension which almost derailed the film entirely.
After Hardy arrived to set several hours late one day, Theron asked the British actor; 'How disrespectful are you?' and said the producers should 'fine the f------ c--- a hundred thousand dollars for every minute that he’s held up this crew'.

Hardy responded by 'charging up to her' and saying: 'What did you say to me?'
The Oscar winning actress later confirmed the pair had 'settled' their differences.
The film went on to gross almost $400million globally and won six Oscars.
Furiosa is a prequel to Fury Road with Anya Taylor-Joy playing a younger Theron in the tititular role to headline the post-apocalyptic blockbuster.
Taylor-Joy and co-star Chris Hemsworth were snapped for the first time on set just prior to the current shutdown, with both donning red wigs for their roles.
Details of Hemsworth's character in the film have been kept under wraps by Miller and insiders at studio Warner Bros, with his role officially defined as 'unspecified'.
