In Fiennes' new movieThe Menu, the actor plays a different kind of villain than Voldemort as a mysterious chef at a highly exclusive island restaurant who crafts a delectable lineup of dishes — and sinister twists — for his guests.
Costar Anya Taylor-Joy told PEOPLE Monday atThe Menu’s premiere that acting with Fiennes “feels like a warm bath.”
“It’s very comforting and it’s incredibly collaborative,” she says of working with the actor. “It’s really intimate in a very bizarre way.”
Fiennes has paid compliments to Taylor-Joy duringThe Menu’s press tour, calling the 26-year-old “a beautifully natural actress” at PEOPLE andEntertainment Weekly’s photo and video studio at the 2022Toronto International Film Festival.
“There are just sometimes when you feel the truthfulness of the person you’re acting with and it really helps you,” Fiennes said at the time. “It really raises your game somehow. And she’s got that.”
The Menuis in theaters Nov. 18.
