Los Angeles, Nov 3 (NationPress) Hollywood actress Gillian Anderson once dreamed of becoming a marine biologist before she discovered her passion for acting.

Interestingly, she aspired to be a marine biologist despite her fear of the ocean, as reported by Female First UK.

The 57-year-old actress, who developed an interest in theater during her teenage years, confessed she still struggles with swimming. In an interview with HELLO! magazine, she stated, "Before I attended drama school, I genuinely explored this career path - which is odd since I have a fear of the ocean. Even now, I avoid swimming in deep water.”

Another area where the actress admits to lacking proficiency is technology. She expressed, "I own a computer and a phone, and I can operate them to a certain extent. However, anything beyond that, like new apps, is beyond my understanding.”

According to Female First UK, this is a stark contrast to her character in ‘Tron: Ares’, Elisabeth Dillinger, who is a tech industry leader and the daughter of Ed Dillinger, the antagonist from the 1982 film ‘Tron’.

When asked about the relevance of the third installment in the Tron series to today's technological landscape, Gillian remarked, "I believe it holds significant relevance. The warnings Elisabeth voices reflect the challenges we currently face with AI, particularly regarding creativity and other concerns.”

‘Tron: Ares’, which premiered on October 10, revolves around humanity's initial encounters with artificial intelligence (AI) beings and a sophisticated program named Ares that ventures into the real world on a perilous mission.

Discussing her thoughts on AI, Gillian conveyed, "It worries me, and I think it worries all of us.” The Hollywood icon hopes that ‘Tron: Ares’ will strengthen her bond with her sci-fi enthusiast sons, Oscar, 19, and Felix, 17, from her former relationship with Mark Griffiths.

Additionally, Gillian has a 32-year-old daughter named Piper from her marriage to Clyde Klotz. She mentioned, "They adore sci-fi, and since I haven't participated in this genre since The X-Files, it’s exciting to share this experience with them.”

"I’m a tremendous sci-fi admirer - it’s a genre I’m well-acquainted with - so being part of something as cherished, intriguing, and spectacular as ‘Tron: Ares’ feels rewarding. I eagerly await everyone’s reactions to it,” she concluded.
