However, when you look a little bit closer, you can see that it's none other than Succession and The Young Victoria star Dame Harriet Walter .
Harriet, 74, is set to play the former Tory leader in a new Channel 4 drama called Brian and Margaret, which will depict Brian Walden and Thatcher's last TV interview.
In 1989, Walden and Thatcher's televised TV conversation became such a huge moment in British history that some argued it contributed towards the latter's resignation as Prime Minister.
This isn't the first time that Dame Harriet has played a historical figure, having previously starred as Queen Adelaide – who reigned as Queen from 1830 until 1837 – in The Young Victoria opposite Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend.
However, she has already left us feeling incredibly unnerved by her performance as Thatcher, just from the uncanny first look images.
