Gillian Anderson goes makeup free as a homeless hiker for gritty role in The Salt Path trailer
As I delve into the captivating journey of Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, I am struck by their resilience and adaptability. Their lives serve as a testament to the human spirit’s strength and ability to persevere through adversity.
Gillian Anderson appeared without makeup for her role as a homeless hiker in Marianne Elliot’s film adaption of Raynor Winn’s 2018 memoir “The Salt Path,” choosing not to use makeup to portray the character authentically.
Nevertheless, hair and makeup artists Emily Bilverstone and Laura McDowell enhanced the 56-year-old X-Files actress with a sun-kissed appearance to better portray her as someone who had completed a 630-mile hike along England’s South West Coast Path.
In the newly released preview, Gillian assumes the character of Raynor Winn, and Jason Isaacs plays her screen husband, Moth Winn, who has been diagnosed with a terminal form of corticobasal degeneration.
In 2013, the married couple, who had been evicted from their bed and breakfast, journeyed continuously from Dorset to Somerset using just a tent and essential supplies. This was no ordinary trip; they were the same people.
When asked if they were retired, Moth admits: ‘Homeless, actually.’
Raynor, as he requests the last £1.38 from the bank teller, shares his hardship by saying, “Everything we had – our house and means of living – is gone.
At some point, Moth trips and tells Raynor, “You ought to return me to the store and pick out another [spouse for me].
She then kissed his forehead and replied: ‘I don’t want a different one.’
As they journey along, the Winns carry their backpacks through challenging conditions, such as uncooperative locals, difficult terrain, harsh weather, sudden changes in temperature, strong winds, and surprise tidal surges.
In my personal exploration as a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve discovered that immersing myself in the breathtaking beauty of nature has a magical way of healing and strengthening relationships. Whether it’s hiking through dense forests or gazing at the stars in a quiet desert night, these shared experiences have the power to bring two hearts even closer.
‘Walking gives us time to think,’ Raynor remarks.
Moth replies: ‘I thought the house and everything was us, but it wasn’t.’
The two-hour long film, initially screened at the Toronto Film Festival on September 6, will be released in UK cinemas next year.
Gillian shared with Variety that after she finished reading the book, it stayed on her mind for several weeks.
Reflecting on homelessness has reshaped my views. I now realize that many people, including myself, could face such hardships, and this understanding has deeply stirred my empathy. It’s clear to me that addressing the plight of those experiencing homelessness is a challenge that affects us all universally.
Anderson pointed out that a common perception is that having greater wealth equates to increased personal liberty within society.
In his own words, the two-time Emmy winner expressed that true liberation was found in possessing nothing, having no predetermined plans, and lacking a fixed base.
Many people, myself included, find the idea of giving up our familiar supports and venturing into what initially seems like an overwhelming void, a terrifying and profound experience. However, these scenarios demonstrate that survival is possible, and not only can we make it through, but we may even find ourselves having gained more than we lost in this journey.
Gillian said humans are more resilient than they realize.
Anderson clarified that the situation feels extremely dire, as if it could lead to actual loss of life – such incidents as the demise of family members, tragic events involving children, traumatic experiences, job losses, and the dissolution of relationships.
This is a duo who experienced an unfortunate event that led them to lose everything in reality. Gradually, they persevered and emerged victorious on the opposite side, demonstrating extraordinary character, deepened love, increased understanding, and unwavering faith in their own tenacity and capacity to overcome any obstacle.
Though Jason, aged 61, spent his childhood and adult life in England, it’s important to note that he was actually born in Chicago. However, following his early years, he resided in London from the age of 11, and has lived there since 2002.
Among Gillian’s forthcoming endeavors are the science fiction film sequel “Tron: Ares” directed by Joachim Rønning, the video game “Squadron 42” helmed by Chris Roberts, the Channel 4 television series “Trespasses”, and the Netflix production “The Abandons,” which is a western.
In the upcoming year, viewers will have the opportunity to see Isaacs appearing in Mike White’s third season of The White Lotus, which is set in Thailand, as well as in the heartbreaking romance of Verona’s Romeo and Juliet directed by Max and Timothy Scott Bogart.
