- LOS ANGELES — Actress Gillian Anderson, who is known for her work in ‘The
Crown’, ‘Hannibal’, ‘Sex Education’ and others, is afraid of the UK's growing
problem of homelessness.
-
- The actress feels that the worst is yet to come for the
UK with regards to homelessness, reports ‘Female First UK’.
-
- The 56-year-old actress plays a woman facing homelessness
in her new film, 'The Salt Path', and Gillian fears the problem will only get
worse if the UK enters a recession.
-
- As per ‘Female First UK’, Gillian was born in Chicago,
but now lives in London.
-
- She told Sky News, "I'm used to seeing it so much in
Vancouver and California and other areas that I spent time. You don't often see
it as much in the UK”.
-
- The actress believes the COVID-19 pandemic marked a
turning point for the UK's homelessness problem.
-
- She explained, "It's now becoming more and more
prevalent since COVID, and the current financial situation in the country and
around the world. It's a topic that I think will be more and more in the
forefront of people's minds, particularly if we end up going into a recession”.
-
- Gillian previously insisted that she won't give up her US
passport, despite living in the UK for more than two decades. The 'X Files'
star loves living in London, but she also feels proud of her American roots.
-
- Gillian told the Guardian newspaper in 2024, "It
feels like my cells are American, and my soul is British. So if you ask me to
give up my American passport, I would say it doesn’t feel right, no. Absolutely
not. I’m American. And if you asked me to leave living in the UK? I’d say this
is where I’m most comfortable, understood, accepted”.
-
- Prior to that, Gillian admitted that she often slips
between a British and American accent. The actress told the Daily Telegraph
newspaper, "It goes back and forth because I grew up in both places, so it
depends on who I’m talking to. So usually when I’m talking to Brits, it slides
into British, and vice versa for American”.
