British woman Jackie Weaver reveals which actress she’d like to play her in a movie after her Zoom meeting went viral… and it’s not who people think
She found fame over the weekend when a Zoom call she was hosting went viral, and now Jackie Weaver has revealed which actress she’d like to play her in a movie.
Appearing on The Project on Tuesday, the British woman – who shares the same name as Aussie actress Jacki Weaver – said she’d choose Helen Mirren.
‘Oh! Helen Mirren. I definitely think Helen,’ she said, leaving panelist Carrie Bickmore somewhat disappointed.

‘I would have gone with Jacki Weaver! But Helen’s just as good,’ responded the 40-year-old TV host.
Earlier in the interview, Carrie jokingly asked Jackie if she had ‘read and understood the standing orders’ ahead of their interview.
‘I have had them tattooed in a place that I cannot possibly share with you!’ deadpanned Jackie.

The question was a reference to Jackie’s viral Zoom meeting call with the Handforth Parish Council in December.
During the meeting, three councillors appeared hostile and aggressive, and repeatedly berated Jackie, who tried in vain to diffuse the situation.
‘You have no authority here, Jackie Weaver. No authority at all!’ shouted chairman Brian Tolver.

As she struggled to regain control of the spiralling situation, Jackie elected to remove Tolver from the call.
The decision prompted the vice chair to yell at Jackie: ‘Read the standing orders! Read them and understand them!’
His outburst also saw him removed from the call, before Jackie then asked the remaining councillors to elect a new chairman.
