Gillian Anderson has finally revealed that she is unbothered by Alec Baldwin’s tweet regarding her accent. Baldwin’s tweet was aimed at mocking her despite his better half, Hilaria Baldwin having gone through a similar path of criticism.
While on an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Anderson stated how the accent criticism never played on her mind all through the course of its media Sting. Anyways, this isn’t the first criticism she had encountered and definitely will not be the last she would expect, she said. In her words, she told the interviewer: “I don’t have social media on my phone, so I wasn’t aware of the questions. A couple of people texted to say something was going on. I didn’t pay any attention to it because it is just something that I live”.
Gillian Anderson News – Shuttling Between Two Countries Had An effect
Anderson grew up between two countries, so depending on which accent comes ringing in her ears during a conversation, she yields to whatever makes her comfortable at that moment. It could mean switching accents at intervals; it could also imply sticking to an accent for a long conversation. Whatever rocks her boat, she is surely ready to paddle it.
Although there are too many talks surrounding this issue, that shouldn’t come as a surprise given that Anderson had had to spend most of her lifetime shuttling between the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
This will not be the first time she will be addressing issues like this as she is more concerned about mastering each accent perfectly. So, talk about mockery, we know it is not something she can be scared about because she has developed a thick skin to bullying; regardless of whom it is coming from.
Gillian Anderson News – Anderson On A Second Interview With The Telegraph
In a former interview with The Telegraph, Anderson said even on the phone, her accent is likely to change and it has changed on countless occasions. Although part of her wishes to control it, sadly, she can’t. The accent just keeps lapping each other while she is in a conversation with someone. Even at the time she moved back into the United States, she tried pretty hard to hold tightly to her British accent because it made her unique from the rest of the people.
Gillian Anderson News – The Backlash On Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin on his part did not make a good impression after he pointed out that Anderson’s accent was a combination of two. He tweeted, “switching accents? That sounds fascinating”. However, that did not sit well with many fans of the Social Media platform. As they perceived his tweet as very hypocritical considering his wife had had a similar challenge with accents. A million backlashes from fans forced Alec to deactivate his Twitter account. Nevertheless, he went on Instagram to address the whole brouhaha.
He wrote on his page that the comment he made on Twitter wasn’t intended from his end to be offensive but to illustrate the distinguishing qualities of multicultural expression. He is a huge fan of Gillian Anderson and wouldn’t make a demeaning statement about her.
