London: Actress Julianne Moore, who was born in the US, is “thrilled” after gaining British citizenship and says that the move will please her late mother Anne, who was a Scottish.
“I’ve just become a UK (Britain) citizen. Isn’t that something? I’m really thrilled and it would have meant the world to her (mom). Her parents emigrated when she was 10, so she didn’t have a choice about moving to the United States,” contactmusic.com quoted Moore as saying.
The 50-year-old’s mother had to renounce her British citizenship when she married Peter, an American who was an army colonel and later a military judge.
“My sister and I both remember her coming home in tears carrying the American flag,” she said. (IANS)
