Étiquette : gillian anderson

your anons don’t make any sense….. according to your theory (which I agree with), Gillian went to the golden globes to support THE CROWN, not the individual actors. So, the reason she’s not at the SAG awards isn’t because Peter Morgan’s not there, it’s because tonight isn’t about the show but the actors themselves,

Thank you, anon. There wasn’t any of the writers or producers. Gillian is not a member of the cast, so why the hell would she attend the SAG with Claire Foy and Matt Smith? That doesn’t make any sense. She doesn’t live to promote The Crown. She attends when he attends. It doesn’t mean they’re together. It will mean they’re a couple when he will attend her events. That did not happen yet, even when he was in NY and she had this book event with all these influent people and writers and he was in NY too. She went at his event but he didn’t go to hers. When this will happen, I will agree my theory will be invalidated. For now, it just means she’s closer to the crew and the financial team (PM, Daldry, those people around their table at the Globes ceremony and after party) than the cast. Even if I’m sure she will congratulate Claire Foy with a tweet or something.

The only reason why The Crown is being talk about so much is the disproportionate amount of money Netflix has invested on its promotion. Why would Gillian invest money in a series which represents the opposite of what she stands for? Making money? It’s not a safe bet at all. It’s an incredibly expensive product and Queen Elizabeth II is far away from being an engaging and fascinating subject. One season is ok, two maybe, but I doubt it will have a third season considering its enormous cost.

Why would The Crown be against what Gillian stands for? I don’t think she supports cannibalism, but she played in Hannibal all the same. Netflix has already signed for 6 seasons, it would make sense for her to invest in this particular show, as producer, or to star in it as an actress. She’s totally legit do to it considering her background and career, the movies and series she’d done before. This show is going to be sold in every country after its run on Netflix, it’ll bring a lot more money than what it costs, it’s a huge success for Netflix, it’s normal that it drags new investors, and with all the money they have invested for promotion, I’m sure they won’t stop after the second season. 

Your answer re: something being « off » about G promoting the Crown is so true. I am one who is fairly convinced that she is seeing Peter, but the way in which she has been tweeting about, sharing pics of, showing up for all these Crown events is VERY unlike someone who everyone always claims is « very private » with her personal life. There’s a major disconnect there. I would put money on her being in season 3 and/or a producer. Which I think is part of why she doesn’t have time to do more XF now.

The more I think about it, the more I’d go with the producing theory. It doesn’t mean she can’t also be dating him, but to me, it’s more likely a coworker relationship than a romantic one. And you’re right, she’s very private, she controls everything she does regarding her private life and doesn’t allow press or fans scrutiny, so putting herself under the spot like that is very uncharacteristic, which makes me think appearances are maybe deceptive. 

It’s not Gillian’s fault that her fandom acts a little crazy in the coconut at times. She can take a selfie with who she wants without having to think what drama it will cause. Let’s just wait what the future brings (season 3 of the Crown, with an outstanding performance of G). Pm is not blocking my chakras 🤣

I don’t totally agree with you. She knows exactly what’s going on, and if she doesn’t, she needs to change her PR team. She knows posting a selfie with a guy from The Crown wasn’t going to be taken as an innocent pic with a random guy. Not right now. And honestly, I don’t think it was innocent at all. What was the exact purpose, that I don’t know.

I also think that this whole PM thing may bring her damage to her image as feminist and she has the book coming out soon. Just wait when some tabloid pick this up… 🙄 i Just hope this PM thing whatever it is will be worth the risk she’s taken! 😕

She always got through rumors on her private life before, I’m sure she will get through this one too, in a way or another. You know, I think her book coming out might be a good thing actually. She’ll have to promote it, she’ll do interviews and the subject itself will probably bring different questions from the ones she’s used to answer. I mean more personal questions. I’m sure she doesn’t want her private life to make the headlines when she’s trying to sell an important book, so I’m sure she’ll take care of this before it’s released. 

To your post about PR mistake. She has feminist book coming out while she’s hanging out with a guy who is still married and is not liked by her fandom bc of his behavior. I already saw opinion that G isn’t a feminist as she pretend to be bc of PM.

That’s sad because last year, she’d been called a racist, transmysogisnist, and now there’s that. I feel like either she’s dating him or not, she’ll have a hard time getting her image back in certain people’s mind. This rumor has indeed damaged it a little, I’m not saying it’s good or bad, I’m not saying it’s her fault, but it’s a fact and I hope whatever is happening, she manages to calm things down a little. 

Their argument is that the reason she’s promoting it so much more than her other projects is proof that they’re together. Whether it’s promotion or not, the fact she tweeted 7x in one night for an event she really had nothing to do with was excessive and I can’t help but think it was purposeful. I just don’t know what the purpose was. Same with the Daldry pic. It seemed like not the right time to be posting such a pic when the focus should have been on the march and not the question of pm

I think the purpose is as simple as her wanting to be associated with this show in people’s mind. Same with posting the pic with Daldry. I agree the timing wasn’t the best, but she probably didn’t think about it, though. 

Nobody promotes their couples’ work on their official websites. Gillian Anderson is a professional actor, not a teenager posting on Facebook. You’re into this business, JHH. Once a rumour saying she was dating the creator of the series appeared, what credibility does her opinion still have (in promotional terms) if they’re personally involved? Have you ever seen this type of publicity on an official website? I can’t get my head around this promotion of « The Crown » on her own webpage.

This kind of promotion, the tweets, the events attendances, and the link on her official website are contractual, in my opinion. It’s clearly not what you do when you’re in a relationship, especially when you’re not out yet. Long time official couples can promote each other’s works, no one is surprised when Beyonce promotes Jay Z’ albums (that’s the first example I had in mind, sorry) because they’re out, official, married and have a child. But there are rules to follow in this industry, either you’re a big worldwide celebrity or not. First, you come out. Then you promote your partner. Gillian promoted The Crown even before we heard about PM. She keeps hanging out with him, yet, nothing has been confirmed about their supposed relationship. To me, it just means there’s no relationship at all, only a work partnership. I think she’s more involved with the show than with him because everything they’ve done together was about it. 

That said, I also think she’d made a PR mistake, or was badly advised. Because if she’s dating him, she’ll be accused to have over-promoted his show, even more than her own projects, people already have a bad opinion on him and will take him and their couple responsible for pushing xf back, and it can be seen as a bad move from a major part of her fandom. If she’s not dating him and will be involved in The Crown, she needs to clarify the situation before it’s announced or we all know what she’ll be accused to. I bet her involvement in The Crown will be announced in the next few months, when the green light for the third season is official, but before that, she’ll make a random interview when a journalist will ask her directly or not, and she’ll make it clear that she’s not and has never been dating him. That’s how I see it… We’ll see…
