She has spent two lengthy periods of time in Scotland filming two series of period drama The Buccaneers.
But Mad Men star Christina Hendricks could be here a lot more after it emerged she is in the market for a Scottish castle of her own.
The revelation emerged as the star appeared on the One Show to discuss season two of the show.
During the interview, presenter Alex Jones said she understood Hendricks had been searching ‘to see if you might make a move over to Scotland’.
The suggestion didn’t seem to throw the American star, who responded by explaining how much she’s come to love the country.
She said: ‘I am so in love with Scotland. I don’t know – I have had such extraordinary luck or I’ve somehow got rose coloured glasses on because every time I’m there it’s just to me so stunning.
‘I feel like Mother Nature just gave Scotland more. I don’t know if it’s dramatic – it’s more dramatic. If the sky is sunny, you know, it’s just glowing. It’s just captured my heart.’
Jones then pressed her further on what Hendricks was looking for during her search, asking: ‘Do you go for period or modern [for a house], if you were looking?’
Responding, Hendricks said: ‘I’m all about the historical stuff. I mean when we shoot at these estates and these castles, I am just… I’m a girl from Idaho in the United States we don’t have stuff like that. We got fields with cows and stuff, but this is mind blowing to me.’
When the presenters then joked they should create a reality TV show to help her find a Scots home, Hendricks said: ‘Sign me up.’
The actress, 50, spent months filming in Scotland last year for the second series of The Buccaneers, which began streaming on Apple TV this week, having spent months filming season one here in 2022.
And the actress has made the most of her time in Scotland, visiting all manner of tourist attractions and local favourites.
She has made two separate trips to Balmoral Castle, in Aberdeenshire estate, as well as enjoying days out in Edinburgh to Portobello beach and the Johnnie Walker Princes Street whisky centre.
The Buccaneers follows a group of young American women in the 1870s as they are sent to London to find husbands and titles, with hilarious culture clashes ensuing.
Ms Hendricks stars as Mrs Patricia St George in the series.
Each episode focuses on a different fictional property – most of which are a composite of stately homes and castles in Scotland.
The Scottish coast stands in for Cornwall while Glasgow doubles up as both New York and London. Culzean Castle in Ayrshire, Hopetoun House, near South Queensferry, and Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire all feature in the period drama.
Scenes have been filmed at Glasgow’s Mitchell Library, which doubles as a US courthouse.
Horses and carriages, as well as historical street signs and postboxes, transformed the city street into a 19th Century American scene.
However, Hendricks is perhaps best known for her previous role as office manager Joan Harris in hit TV show Mad Men alongside Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm.
She also has a celebrity friend who is well-placed to advise her on her search for a Scottish home – Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson.
The singer, who is from Edinburgh, is a certified celebrant and married Hendricks and husband George Bianchini in New Orleans last year.
