Étiquette : viceroy’s house

Hugh Bonneville on Viceroy’s House

What was it like working with Gillian Anderson, who plays your wife in the film?

She’s so in demand, but she’s tremendously focused with a great sense of humour. And like with all actors trying to play someone who existed, you’re trying to get the right tone in spirit. And I think, having talked with the family, both Edwina’s daughter and grandson, and having read up on the Mountbattens and seen footage from that era, I think Gillian completely immersed herself in the role.

We associate her so closely with the US series The X-Files, but she’s British. Do you still do a double take when she speaks in an English accent?

[Laughs]. I sort of do and I don’t. I think every since I saw her in Bleak House, when you suddenly realize ‘my god, she is a Brit’.

Don’t forget the Mountbatten era was again a different sort of English accent – incredibly cut glass and Gillian nailed it fantastically. It can sound a bit peculiar to us these days. Think of the Queen x10.

Gillian Anderson in Roksanda at the Viceroy’s House London Premiere

Continuing on her promo tour, Gillian Anderson stepped out this evening(February 21st) in London for the premiere of ‘Viceroy’s House’ at The Curzon Mayfair.

Turning to a UK designer, she wore a ROKSANDA SPRING 2017 color-block ankle length black dress which featured billowy white long sleeve with red cuffs, a red tie key-hole detail and a back split.

Beauty wise, she complimented her look with a classic bun and smokey eyes offset with a natural lip. I like the dress but my only issue are the sleeves. I just wish they were longer like a similar version of the dress which hit the runway. She finished up her look with JIMMY CHOO sandals.
