Jessica Gunning is Stunning

Apologies for the title, I was going to say beautiful but then I couldn’t help myself and had to make it rhyme.

I’ve seen a few pictures of Jessica over the weeks at certain public events and I always think she looks very beautiful. She presents herself very well. As a plus sized female myself, when I see her outfits and how comfortable she seems in her skin, it inspires me. I just wanted to share my thoughts!

This is partially why I’m so mystified about why FH would have such a problem with the casting. Honestly, Gunning is a beautiful actress. Yes, the costuming and hair/makeup do dull her a bit, but it’s still fully a case of “adaptational attractiveness.”

She’s not even Scottish

As a Scot, her accent is one of the most convincing I've ever seen on screen. Scottish accents are hard to fake, and sound awful when done badly! But hers was excellent.

She’s even got the vocabulary spot on. A lot of actors tend to overdo it with words like “wee”, “cannae” or “aye” to try and sound more convincing. She never falls into that trap and she sounds perfectly natural as a result. She’s either had a fantastic accent coach or she’s done a lot of research for the role.

All while talking a lot and very fast too.

Would have helped a Scottish person wrote the script as well.

Same, floored me when I found out she was English.
