Gillian Anderson set “very clear boundaries” whilst working with her partner, Peter Morgan, on the set of ‘The Crown’.
The 52-year-old actress stars as former UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the upcoming fourth season of the Netflix hit series, which was created and principally written by her boyfriend, Peter.
And for the “benefit of the relationship”, Gillian and Peter made sure to set boundaries between them, which stopped them from criticising one another’s work whilst on set.
Speaking to the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, she said: “For our own sanity, and actually for the benefit of the relationship, we had very clear boundaries. I am not going to comment on the script, but you are not allowed to comment on the performance!”
Gillian also insisted she had to cast away her own “opinions” of Margaret Thatcher and her “actions” before taking on the role.
She added: “I had to get to a point where it’s nothing to do with my opinions of her policies, of her actions. It is only about her as a human being and her motivation as a politician and as a mother.”
The full interview is available in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar, which is on sale from November 5.
