Gillian Anderson Reacts to Being Mistaken as Politician Gillian Keegan

Actress Gillian Anderson took to X to joke that she’s quitting politics after British broadcaster Robert Peston mistakenly said she lost her seat in Parliament

The Crown alum, 55 — who portrayed the late PM Margaret Thatcher on the critically-acclaimed Netflix drama — was mistakenly identified as politician Gillian Keegan by ITV journalist Robert Peston on Friday, July 5.

“But I’d definitely vote for you if you did stand!” a fan said. “Oh, you'd win the seat. No doubt,” another person wrote. Someone else chimed in: “Well, I voted for you, Gillian.” Anderson played the “Iron Lady” during her tenure as prime minister from 1979 until 1990 on the show.
