Gillian Anderson moved by admirer (Fan Expo Canada)

Gillian Anderson moved by an admirer at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto on August 26, 2012.
After Gillian arrived for her signing session, the first one to come ask for an autograph was an elderly man. What I didn't realize while taking pictures of her is that after a few moments, she became emotional...
Later on when he came back to see Gillian, I caught with the man and plainly asked him why she cried earlier (am I a good stalk-- fan or what? lol). He told me he talked to her about her performance as Lady Dedlock in 'Bleak House' and gave her old books of 'Bleak House', novels from the 1800's if I remember correctly! Maybe those were books he or his family had for a very long time, who knows! When I asked him why he did that, he just shrugged and said "Because I felt like it!" He thought maybe the fact that he was here because of 'Bleak House' and not 'The X-Files' etc. added to Gillian's tears. But still when he talked to me about it, it seems like he didn't expect such a reaction from her. He showed me the two pictures he took with her and his autographed picture on which Gillian had written "You moved me to tears." Aww! He told me he's not exactly a fan - you know, like we are - but he's also an actor and everything. Nice man indeed! :)
Note that he's the only one who had pictures taken with Gillian at the signing AND the only one who got hugs from her! I'm so jealous! lol

Reasons why we love Gillian...the list just keeps getting longer and longer :-)

[@achourht7099]

What a beautiful human being she is!

[@watchxfiles]

We were lucky to see her during her convention years. It was great

[@daniellerobeque3706]

Gillian Anderson is cool ! is wonderful actress !

[@lisam1987]

Thanks for sharing Rachel Spice! Extremely touching moment indeed!

[@RachelSpicyG]

She started at 10:30 am and finished at around 12:10 pm! Then she did the photo ops right after that, and then the Q&A. ;)

[@sarahmindur9616]

Good stalk indeed. I can't say I'm that surprised she reacted so. She's not exactly an insensitive or unemotional person. Good for him.

[@NPK13]

Loved her Lady Dedlock! And Ms. Havisham. And her interpretation of Blanche was amazing. So nice that people are starting to see the actress as far more than Dana Scully.

[@davidw.2791]

And now we can add Dr. Bedelia du Maurier to her repertoire.

[@RachelSpicyG]

No problem! :) It was, I'm happy to have been there on time!

[@danamichaels6936]

I was out of my mind waiting week to week for Bleak House eps. so great

[@brittyn]

oh duh, thank you :) sorry i missed that. i'm surprised that made her cry, but that is sweet...

[@61505]

Bleak house is novel written in the nineteenth century writer Charles Dickens, perhaps one of his less well known novels.

[@diannehh]

OMG! What a lucky man! And sorry to say but it made me soooo friggin jealous!!!!! I watched the whole thing with open mouth! ♥ And not only this guy is friggin lucky, but also the people standing behind in queue, to have the time to stare at her for so long!!! LFCC was really seconds-work! :'O Lucky bastaaaardsss!!! :D

[@relaxsh4841]

[@PusherInc]

What time did she do this autograph signing? She wasn't there when I came at 12:30pm, but I saw her in time for the Q&A at 1:30pm.

Danielle Robeque​ Lol. Lucky guy. Just watched it. I love to kiss her beautiful lips. It must feel like heaven. She so dreamy. Can't wait for the return of X-Files.

[@brittyn]

i wonder what he told her?

[@RachelSpicyG]

Lol I know!! I'm jealous too! But hey he deserved it! :P Really? That sucks! Not to make you more jealous but I stared at her the longest out of everyone, I think! During these two days at Fan Expo, I was there the 3 times she was signing and I always stayed to the side until the end of her signing session. I didn't understand why other people weren't doing the same thing! LOL - I almost stalked her when she left one time (she walked right in front of me and then I started following her!)! Haha

[@fruitofthejoot]

How long does one usually have to talk to her during those signings with people always waiting in line? Is it speedy or relaxed

[@RachelSpicyG]

+fruitofthejoot I don't know if it's the same at every convention. At this one, it can be 20 seconds like it can be a couple of minutes. Depends on the people. I guess you can say it's pretty relaxed.

[@aoiblue]
