Gillian Anderson promotes Sex Eductation (netflix) on Jonathan Ross Christmas special

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

Her ability to switch between her native British accent and her adopted American accent is amazing.

[@ElleNullVoid]

She is not native British. She was born in the USA. Then her parents moved to the UK for a few years in her early years, then she returned to the USA in her early teens. She's an American who can also speak with a British-English accent.

[@scr00g3]

Elle Louise You’re right but she lived in UK from age 3 to age 11, she basically learned how to speak in England. When she first arrived in her American school when she was 12, she was mocked by the other kids because of her British accent. She’s always preferred England to the US, I think she might have always kept her British accent, but she can adopt the American accent when needed, in American TV shows, movies or interviews.

[@docsavage8640]

The British dialect is fake.

[@MackerelCat]

Her first accent was British so it’s not inaccurate to call it native

[@chandlersun3877]

Her accent is so impressive

[@euanelliott8068]

Everything about her is seductive, but understated, almost detached from the effect she probably knows she has.

[@ameliarose4353]

she suits the english accent better i think

[@CarrotFlowers421]

It's because it's her real accent. She's American and British pretty much equally.

[@TheTardisDreamer]

She's bidialectal, meaning she has two natural accents (from living in two countries as a kid). So this is her natural accent.

[@mirandaroberts1831]

Love that she isn’t uncomfortable ☺️ Love that she is hilarious and likes to get a a laugh. Love that her characters are usually serious and powerful women 😈 .... I have a ... thing 😁

Gillian Anderson is so amazing and wonderful and when she speaks english I understand very well 👍☮️

[@charleshutton84]

Gillian just gets better looking with age

[@kaylaireland3494]

Gillian is everything ♥️♥️❤️♥️

[@indogwetrust222]

I fancy Gillian so much.

[@sophia-pg4uu]

her accent confuses me cos in another video I watched she sounds american

[@tamerasmith7152]

Her voice changes depending on where she is I think

[@defanged9630]

Gillian Anderson was born in Chicago. Within a few months of her birth, the family moved to Puerto Rico for approx eighteen months, then on to London. Where they lived until Gillian was 11. Hence her original English accent. On her return to the U.S., school yard teasing led to the adoption of an American accent and later on her acting career necessitated it. Returning to the U.K. for X Files promo work and stage and film work during the show's hiatus' it first became apparent that she was slipping back into her original accent. She has said that when she is around a Brit, she tends to slip back into it. She might be on a U.S. talk show, speaking with her American accent. If one or more of hosts/guests are British, you will hear her vowels shift. The Nolan brothers (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar) have had a similar experience. Christopher sounds like a English public schoolboy, while Jonathan sounds like a U.S. native. Both English born. One went to the U.S. after their parents separation. The other stayed in England. Like Ms Anderson, Jonathan Nolan decided that life was easier, less painful if he spoke like a U.S. native. Human identity is not a simple binary. Isn't variety wonderful?

[@defanged9630]

@Android army. Hands up here, I have to admit I haven't caught up with season 11. I saw and enjoyed season 10. It's the Anderson/Duchovny chemistry that does it for me. But, and it's a big "butt". I do not think the show should have returned after the fifth season. Which you will remember was shot after the film, X Files:Fight The Future, which it flows into. I think a series of solidly budgeted films every two to three years would have been great. The show dragged on thanks to Fox's short term, quick buck mentality. The actors understandably got bored and the show petered out. Glad to see them re-energised and engaged, acknowledging the passing of time and playing on it, but I'm sorry to say, I'm kinda not that fussed.

@M. R. M A Y her son???

[@aliciaofthedead3981]

She is bidialectal and spent her teenage years in england and she as lived in london since 2003

[@gretan3938]

She looks a little similar to Emma Thompson.

[@kevinp8108]

I dated a British girl in college in the US and she was able to switch between her British accent and American accent with ease. She got tired of Americans commenting about her British accent so she started talking like an American to blend in.

[@serenity4eva89]

Oh wow, it's been awhile since I've laughed that fucking hard. LOL

[@annakienapfel6607]

I unterstand her so good ♥she speaks very slow it is cool

[@NiVi192]

I wasn't sure when I first heard about it because we're all used to so much average sex-related TV series whose writers just try too hard with the jokes, but this is worth watching! 😁👌🏻 But I just love smart and smooth humor!

[@anonymousaccount9734]

I Love Gillian ahhh

[@caitlinelizabeth4444]

She sounds so much more natural British, sometimes the cadence is a bit off with the American? But maybe that’s bc I’m British myself

[@delennamachoo]

Her American speech is a bit monotone.

[@rilexlyes8758]

[@abcdef2069]

it didnt occur to me at all that she was the x-file's scully . her british accent fooled me, i didnt detect any accents from the x-file scully

[@MoreGore]

Is it something WITH which one eats lobster?...see me.

[@zachcando]

Picking up an accent is like learning a second language.

[@krashd]

That doesn't make any sense at all, there is no conscious learning required in acquiring an accent, it's all autonomous.

[@zachcando]

@@krashd It depends on the situation, it depends on the person, and it depends on the motives, but it is not exclusively conscious nor is it exclusively subconscious. It can, and often will be, a combination of both.

[@leeping6686]

Какое хорошее кино, секс, эдикейшн, вот-вот теперь мне хотелось бы узнать, вот для чего приходили мужчины к вам для? Успокоение или для другого совершенно как с ними вы общались, наблюдали за ними, что происходило, может быть, они приходили совсем другим, я видела только вот серию, мне очень понравилось, когда приходил. Человек, который сантехник. Что вы с ним делали, как он относился к вам какие-нибудь, у него были проблемы со здоровьем планы? Секса несовместимости может быть что-то такое, я даже не знаю, как это объяснить, это только вы можете объяснить в эту роль играли вам и разговор начинать.

[@annakienapfel6607]
