Gillian Anderson is a legend. Absolutely brilliant actress. She keeps getting better and better with age. Beautiful and so classy. Have loved her since X-Files. And boy that gorgeous laugh 🥰
@@d00ks some people’s looks do improve with age, some don’t. Compare the two actors Sean Connery and Val Kilmer. Sean Connery looked better as he aged. Val Kilmer, on the other hand, not so much.
@@SphericalHang Dude, she has said that she considers herself a "native British speaker". She was raised in the UK, her parents were Americans, and when she went back to the States as a teen, she was bullied for her accent. It's not a simple yes she's one or the other, but if she considers herself as British and lives in the UK, I tend to respect that but sure, go off on a youtube comment section.
Guys its not that hard: She was born in Chicago. Shortly after that her parents moved to London were she grew up. In her teens she moved to Michigan, with 22 she lived in New York for a short time. Then to LA for TV productions, and after the 9th season of X-Files in 2002 she moved back to London were she lives up to this day.
Her role as Bedelia in Hannibal and also her work in The Fall were fabulous!!! She just gets more powerful in her performances. I love watching all of her performances.
Gillian is amazing as Margaret Tatcher. I didn’t see Gillian Anderson at all. I saw a awesome prime minister in The Crown. Truly deserving of a best actress award.
GIVE HER ALL THE AWARDS. Jesus just the few scenes from the trailers is enough to give me chills. Shes definitely the equivalent to Meryl in television. She’s so sweet and funny in real life. Just the consummate actress.
I just came upon this video, right as I have just started to re-watch the X Files. I am constantly amazed just how much this show holds up. She is indeed a big part of that. An absolute treasure.
I'm only two seasons into the X-Files and I already adore Gillian Anderson and Scully. I also can't wait to to see her on The Crown. She's going to be amazing!
The X-Files was a TV show that looked and sounded like a well-made movie, year-after-year, until David Duchovny abruptly left (a contract dispute, I believe). The show continued for a couple more seasons, but just didn't work without the interesting, unusual relationship of Agents Scully and Mulder that made the show so special.
@@kenhoward3512 Yeah, I must admit, I did look up that's coming. And it does make me sad. The two of them together are so integral to the show and to each other's characters. I also sort of know the ending of season 11 is not satisfying so that is a bummer too. Really wish they did something to wrap things up properly and gave them all a happy-ish ending.
@@kenhoward3512 I'm on season 8 (the one where Mulder leaves) and I must say that although it is odd to not have him around, the show isn't bad at all. I actually quite enjoy the relationship between Scully and Doggett - it's not the same, but still quite good.
She’s bi- accented because she grew up in the UK and then move to the US when she was 12 and then move back to the UK after the X-Files end. Her accent changes depending on who she’s talking to. She if she’s around a lot Americans she will speak in American accent if she was around a lot of British people show speak with a British accent. And she lives in England For these interviews she’s doing by video conference. The English accent is more pronounced. Well then I guess by talking to these American Hosts the American side comes out too.
I was a fan of X-Files from the beginning episode Sept 10 1993. When I moved to Vancouver in 1994 I continued working as a background/extra, etc., in movies and TV. I was very fortunate to get work several times '94 - 96 on X-Files episodes.... what a blast that was !!! 🤩🥳
She deserves an Emmy for her performance! Never thought she could play Thatcher! It’s incredible! Just perfect! Meryl got an Oscar for it! Wow she’s some amazing actor! It’s really believable, the look, the voice! The transformation! Bravo! 👏🏼😍 Gillian certainly deserves an Award for this! Emmy, Golden Globe, BAFTA etc! I was blown away by her outstanding performance! How lucky that she was cast as MT! 👍🏻
Why am I not surprised that Jimmy implemented x-files into the interview. He's their biggest fan ^^ now all he needs to do is get GA & DD back in another interview together!
When I was in elementary/middle school I had a celebrity crush on Gillian when she was on X-files. It's absolutely crazy to see her 20+ years later and she's even more attractive than I remember. Great personality too.
@@Kowasi I mean if you’re going to tell a story about history in any way, you kinda need to someone to play those historical figures. It’s. It’s not condoning what they did, it’s just telling that story.
Yes, because it’s an ACTUAL X-file - Gorgeous woman is the whole package....and year by year she grows smarter, funnier, and more beautiful. A mystery more elusive than the Loch Ness monster, and further reaching than chemtrails. None of us wants to solve it, we’re just happy to live in a world where she also exists.
I have always enjoyed her performances, of course the X-Files, The Fall, and supremely in American Gods. Can’t wait to see the crown, she will win the Emmy judging on the 15 seconds we saw here.
This is making me feel really old too! I’m not ready for Gillian Anderson being old enough to play Thatcher - guess I’ve now officially hit middle age. Though it’s wonderful to see her ongoing success, such a talented actress.
@@DaChaGeeYeah exactly, it was her first accent, having moved to England at 2, she had to learn the speak mid-western accent I think to try fit in with her peers, when she left England for the US at 11 yrs old. I don’t get why people are so bothered about her speaking with her natural accent, when to this day she’s lived most her adult life in England after moving back there.
She is the reason I got on the internet back in the 90's. I remember I had a buddy that explained I could see pics of her maxim magazine photoshoot if I went online. She was and forever will be one of my earliest actor crushes. So great to see her evolve over the years
Gillian Anderson deserves some kind of major award for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in this season of The Crown, she’s that good! And I thought Meryl Streep’s portrayal of MT was unbeatable, Gillian’s is easily on par with that.
She is so awesome, everything she's done.And still so beautiful. She was also my favorite waitress at The Dojo Restaurant on St Marks Place, back in the day. Served us tempura on roller skates, coolest chick ever with punked out rainbow hair & makeup! No joke
Was absolutely blown away with her portrayal of Maggie, I grew up watching and listening to Mrs Thatcher giving speeches in the 80’s. Gillian nailed her voice and mannerisms. It wasn’t an impersonation, it went way beyond that, mesmerising!
Same! I just want a movie that gives Mulder and Scully a satisfying send-off, provides an actual satisfying resolution to the colonization plot, and doesn't inexplicably resurrect the Smoking Man for the fifth time.
The X-files was an iconic show. It was a big part of my teenage years, alongside Next Generation and Buffy. I went back to start re-watching from the beginning and it really holds up; a bit like the original McGuyver series. :)
In my opinion, Gillian Anderson is the 'Meryl Streep' of television and Meryl Streep is the 'Gillian Anderson' of films. Both such classy, elegant, talented actors. Love them so much.
@@sammizzzle I totally get what you mean. Meryl did great obviously, but maybe at that point in her career her face became too iconic for some reason? Like it was hard to separate her from the prosthetics/wig because you knew it was her (even though she embodied the Thatcher essence). Whereas Gillian has flown under the radar (especially outside of the UK) and for this to be her comeback role is just epic. Got chills from the first teaser. I can’t wait.
Gillian Anderson is a legend. Absolutely brilliant actress. She keeps getting better and better with age. Beautiful and so classy. Have loved her since X-Files. And boy that gorgeous laugh 🥰
I believe there was some speculation about her possibly being the first female James Bond (Jane Bond). She would nail the character!
@@davidburgess3882 m
i love her. She has improved with age in every way.
You are so right. I absolutely love her.
Except in looks
Looks don’t improve with age
So your statement is kinda wrong
@@d00ks she is just as if not more attractive. Youth doesn't automatically equal attractiveness unless you are shallow.

The only one I would say was Raquel Welch
I was today years old when I found out she’s AMERICAN!????!?
Nope, she's British, moved to the States as a kid though (and today she's back living in the UK) so both her Brit and American accents are spot on xD
@@Traumatias0 Nope she's american, moved to the UK.

I was an early blooming teen during the X-files and have had a massive crush ever since, she’s still the best.
Agent Scully was my favourite character on TV decades back!
Don’t mind me, I’m just here for Gillian Anderson!
I'm here for her too!

Gillian is such an amazing actor. I've loved here in everything she has done. And she is such a beautiful woman. Can't wait to see her in The Crown!
It’s so weird to hear her switching from American to English accents.
When she did Moro in Princess Mononoke, she even did a perfect Lupine accent!
Yeah, it’s very weird!
Let me just say, I LOVE her! But she was on James Corden show w/no English accent a couple of years ago.

Otis would be so glad. For once his mother isn't embarrassing him.
That show must return.
@@reemkhattar yes it will return. The story's kinda unsorted presently.
LMAO!
She's so completely nailed Thatcher's voice that it feels like the old bag is back from the grave! Bravo Gillian.
She got the rhythm but the actual voice was off.
Gillian is phenomenal in the Crown as Margaret Thatcher.
Gillian is phenomenal in EVERY roll

I'll take Gillian over "harvey" is a god".
Gillian should win an Emmy for every episode she appeared on The Crown. She's THAT good.
She's def gonna be award's sweetheart
Gillian is absolutely brilliant. She, like Meryl Streep, captures her beautifully.
Her accent switches over to more American the further into the interview she gets

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HER ON THE CROWN. AHHHHHHHHHHHH
I love Ms. Anderson, but Thatcher is no figure I ever wish to see portrayed.

after The Crown she'll be in First Lady 😭😭 i cant wait someday seeing her with Cate Blanchett omg
This is the BEST and most accurate depiction of Margaret Thatcher on film I have ever seen. Well done, Gillian.
*everyone in the comments talking about Gillian getting better looking with age
Because she is!! Looking that good at her age, it means it comes from within and radiates outward
Yes, because it’s an ACTUAL X-file - Gorgeous woman is the whole package....and year by year she grows smarter, funnier, and more beautiful. A mystery more elusive than the Loch Ness monster, and further reaching than chemtrails. None of us wants to solve it, we’re just happy to live in a world where she also exists.
I am a 48 and was a teen when x files was started so for her to look so good
Gillian and David filled me up so much. Thank you.
I am still pissed to this day, there have been no more seasons of The Fall. That was a great show. I loved her in that show.
You need to lay off the booze then. It's not good for you to be permanently pissed.
In a recent interview she said that season 4 of the fall is in the works 👌🏼
@@maanuutjj Really? I would love to see that
she has a plan for more.dont worry
how can someone be so beautiful?! She´s truly a piece of art.
She's in England so she's been speaking in her English accent for a while now and talking to an American while in England is just confusing her 😂
This happens when your bilingual too.
Totally natural 😉
She grew up in North London and only moved to the US at the age of 11.

One of my favorites. I feel like I grew up with her.

We need her for X files season 12. I hope they will conclude the storyline. It has gone on forever confusing the audience without a proper ending.
Her English accent is one of the best around...and her Thatcher impression is 100% bang on!

"He asked if I thought that I could. And I thought that I could." - Epic.
She is amazing..love her in the fall!!🙌🏼😎
Loved this interview. laughed a lot :-)
Amazing how she transformed for the crown. I mean, look at how amazing she looks in "real life".
I watched her in Hannabal... She was beyond GORGEOUS!!!

can't wait to watch her performance in 'the crown.'

Check out the recent BBC production of "Great Expectations" Her Miss Havisham is amazing.
I want another x-file movie. X-Files : Legacy
Just keep Chris Carter away from it
I don’t think putting legacy in the title is a good thing.
Tron legacy
Bourne legacy
Just don't. Leave Chris Carter in the past!
I want that too... but dont tell Chris Carter haha
Same! I just want a movie that gives Mulder and Scully a satisfying send-off, provides an actual satisfying resolution to the colonization plot, and doesn't inexplicably resurrect the Smoking Man for the fifth time.
I love how she switches between her UK and US accents.
The X-files was an iconic show. It was a big part of my teenage years, alongside Next Generation and Buffy. I went back to start re-watching from the beginning and it really holds up; a bit like the original McGuyver series. :)
This was hysterical! Love Gillian
I had a huge crush on Gillian during the x-files days and cannot believe that she doesn't make the list of gorgeous celebrities.
when all this press stuff for the crown ends i'm gonna miss having daily gillian anderson interviews recommended to me :/
I can hug you, that’ll help ;)

While watching The Crown, everyone's gonna be like Meryl or Gillian.......
