Gillian Anderson is responding after hearing about Alec Baldwin shading her accent.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the 52-year-old recent Critics Choice Award and Golden Globes winner revealed she hadn’t heard about it until her friends mentioned it to her.

“I didn’t pay any attention to it because it’s just something that I live,” Gillian explained. “I grew up between two countries and so depending on who is in my ear is which direction my accent goes. So, I’m so used to it that it’s kind of old news for me.”

She added about Alec‘s comment, “It’s so not a newsworthy item, but I’m sad that it’s caused him so much distress.”

Just last week, Alec deactivated his Twitter account after facing backlash for a joke made about her accent.

“The person I was referring to is someone I am a huge fan of … and that comment was meant to just illustrate the point that multicultural expressions of anyone … that’s your business,” he said in a video posted to his Instagram account.

Gillian was born in the United States, but had spent 10 years of her life living in London before returning to the US in her later formative years.

This month, Prince Harry opened up about his thoughts about Netflix’s The Crown.

The 36-year-old Duke of Sussex follows his relatives, Mike Tindall and Sarah Ferguson, in reacting to the series loosely based on their lives as members of the British royal family.

“It gives you a rough idea of what that lifestyle, what the pressures of putting duty and service above family and everything else, what can come from that,” Harry told James Corden in an interview. “I’m way more comfortable with The Crown than I am seeing the stories written about my family, or my wife, or myself. It’s the difference between… that is obviously fiction, take it how you will, but this is being reported on as fact because you’re supposedly news. I have a real issue with that.”

After hearing his comments, Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor, who portray his parents, Princess Diana and Prince Charles on the series, are reacting.

“I’m delighted. I’m delighted that he watches it,” Josh told Entertainment Tonight, just ahead of his Golden Globe win. “I think anyone who watches it is a great… you know, that’s what we’re there for.”

Emma added, “It’s difficult, with The Crown, since it is so fictional, it feels so removed from the actual royal family. But on the other hand, the characters are based on real people, so there is something there. I felt incredibly grateful to him. I was incredibly moved by what he said. Obviously, I played his mother and that would have been such a sensitive thing. I was very moved he acknowledged it. I’m glad he enjoyed it; I was very grateful for those words.”

Gillian Anderson, who plays Margaret Thatcher, also commented on Harry’s revelation.

“I would say that Harry is fairly well-qualified to judge what is fact or fiction and it was pleasing to hear he understood what [creator] Peter [Morgan] is trying to do on The Crown,” she says. “That he is telling a nuanced story of the challenges of putting duty and service before love and family and that he has certainly many, many years of experience with that. I think it was nice to be on the outside and also on the inside of a show that I care about hearing perhaps that subject addressed.”

Emma won her first Golden Globe for her portrayal of Diana on the series. See her acceptance speech here!

Gillian Anderson has signed on to portray former First Lady and American 20th century political icon Eleanor Roosevelt in a brand new Showtime limited series!

Gillian will co-star alongside Viola Davis and Michelle Pfeiffer in The First Lady, which is the show’s current working title, subject to change.

The show will tell the story through the lens of the famous women in the White House, including Eleanor Roosevelt (Anderson), Betty Ford (Pfeiffer) and Michelle Obama (Davis).

“Gillian Anderson is an actress of incredible range and exquisite talent – she is the perfect choice to complete this powerhouse trio, who will inhabit the roles of these iconic women,” Amy Israel, EVP, Scripted Programming, Showtime Networks, told Deadline. “It’s inspiring to have Gillian, Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susanne Bier and Cathy Schulman at the forefront of The First Lady. They have truly set the stage for a landmark Showtime series.”

This is sure to make you feel “Good as Hell”!

During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Wednesday (January 27), Gillian Anderson revealed that Olivia Colman convinced the The Crown cast members to perform a dance performance to Lizzo‘s “Good as Hell” while in their royal costumes.

“Olivia apparently does a dance class — in the area that she lives with a bunch of friends — on a regular basis. And the last time she did the class, they had danced to that song,” Gillian, who played Margaret Thatcher on season four, shared. “She asked if we would happen to be interested in maybe doing it.”

After some convincing, Olivia was able to get her cast members to do the dance with her.

“[Olivia said] she would video it, and then she would just share it only with her friends, the other dancers,” Gillian recalled. “It was never meant to see the light of day.”

Seth then shared the clip, Gillian said that still finds the whole situation “so humiliating.”

“I mean, that look on my face,” Gillian said with a laugh. “I don’t even know. There’s such delight and shame all at once.”
