Gillian Anderson finally addresses those surgery rumours and rift with X Files co-star David DuchovnyThe actress spilled the beans on Jonathan RossGillian Anderson has denied having surgeryGillian Anderson's youthful complexion has certainly sparked a few rumours. Many fans tuning into Channel 5's X Files re-boot - 23 years after the original series hit screens, are convinced the actress must have had surgery to look so flawless. During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show , the US beauty finally addressed those stories. Slamming the rumours as completely false, she said: "I don’t really give a f*** because I know it’s not true. But the fact is, it's shaming. Let’s say that I had decided to, that’s my choice."

During the chat, the actress also opened up about her headline-grabbing rift with X Files co-star David, which she confirmed was caused by her HAIR. Gillian confirmed her rift with X-Files co-star David Duchovny was over hair ( Image: 20thCentFox) "It’s so stupid," she giggled. "I can’t talk about this without just laughing and laughing, it’s just so silly. It takes women a lot longer than it takes men because, it’s very damp in Vancouver and so my hair gets frizzy. We shoot in the rain all the time and then I’m a drowned rat and then we have to wait around for them to blowdry it and everything. And so there’s a lot of waiting because of me. "It didn’t encourage our [friendship] but I got it, I understood… We were too much together but we’re incredibly friendly now." The Jonathan Ross Show is on ITV, Saturday at Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to play Tap to play Featureflash Photo Agency/Shutterstock Science fiction fans and government conspiracy theorists alike may be in love with Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, the dynamic FBI duo from "The X-Files," but the stars certainly aren't in love with each other. It is true that the two on-screen characters go together like peanut butter and jelly in every way imaginable. However, fans often impose this relationship on the actors. Contrary to popular belief, David Duchovny (Mulder) and Gillian Anderson (Scully) are not, and have never been, an item. In fact, if you know anything about the behind-the-scenes action on "The X-Files," it's probably that the stars don't like each other very much. Of course, that never stopped the two from being professional, and working together for a solid 11 seasons between 2003 and 2018. In fact, you might even see the two acting on friendly terms on social media. So then what's the deal? Do Duchovny and Anderson hate each other? Or is there something more behind the controversy between the "X-Files" actors? On the X-Files set, Duchovny and Anderson were anything but friends Fox Despite Mulder and Scully going from work colleagues to romantic partners over the course of "The X-Files," the actors themselves weren't overly fond of each other. In fact, during a 2015 interview with The Guardian, Gillian Anderson revealed that "there were definitely periods when we hated each other... We didn't talk for long periods of time. It was intense, and we were both pains in the arse for the other at various times." Likewise, David Duchovny has also been forthcoming about how the two of them struggled to get along. "Familiarity breeds contempt," he told Metro in 2008. "We used to argue about nothing. We couldn't stand the sight of each other." Despite the two's incessant rivalry, both managed to at least maintain a stable working relationship throughout the lifespan of "The X-Files." This might seem contradictory, as it might feel impossible to act alongside someone you have contempt for, especially when your characters are so closely tied. However, it actually makes a lot of sense when you dig a bit deeper into the pair's working relationship. Duchovny and Anderson aren't friendly, but they are respectful Fox So far, it seems like everything David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have had to say about each other over the years has been negative. However, if you asked either actor at any point in time, you'd find that they have an underlying respect for each other. This was likely the reason they were able to work together on "The X-Files" set so closely, for such a long period of time. "It's nothing to do with the other person," Duchovny said in his interview with Metro. "All that fades away and you're just left with the appreciation and love for the people you've worked with for so long." Similarly, Anderson told The Guardian that, while there were "periods" where they hated each other, she felt that "hate is too strong a word." At the time of the article in 2015, she was forthcoming about the fact that "we are closer today than we have ever been." In the end, their mutual respect has always trumped their interpersonal issues. It's why you rarely, if ever, saw them bad-mouthing each other to the press, even if they were open about their dislike for each other. Nowadays, the two are much closer Fox While it is tough to call them close friends, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have gotten closer as the years have gone by. At least, they've become close enough that they're willing to take selfies with one another. In April, Anderson posted a picture of the two (along with her adorable pup) on Instagram with the caption, "Stella made a new friend today." Even then, the two aren't overly-chummy. So far, Anderson's selfie is the only time the two have interacted on social media. That being said, what they have now is a much more positive relationship compared to when they were co-workers. But even that doesn't stop fans from shipping the two like no tomorrow: "You two are the absolutely perfect dream team! Seeing you together always brings a smile to my face," wrote one fan in response to Anderson's selfie. "My favorite couple," wrote another. It actually seems like this facet of their relationship is what bothers the two the most. In 2016, Duchovny went on record with The Guardian about how fans shipping them upsets him. "Gillian and I are not lovers, or boyfriend and girlfriend," he said. "There seems to be a certain kind of Twitter contingent that wants us to be together. It's odd to me, because I've never had the fantasy of wanting two people together that aren't, or are."

The movie’s title, I Want to Believe, refers to Duchovny’s Mulder returning to the FBI to help solve the disappearance of an agent. The one clue is in the hands of a psychic priest [Billy Connolly] convicted of pedophilia. At his side is the more cynical pragmatist, Scully [Anderson] ex-lover and partner. The pair seem as comfortable off screen as on. Paul Fischer reports. Question: Can you talk about getting back into these characters after a five or six year period? Duchovny: Well, I had two weeks before Christmas of basically running around and chasing Callum Rennie who plays the running bad guy that I chase all over the place. That took a good two full weeks of running even though I know it’s only about ten seconds in the movie and then Gillian and I started working on it after Christmas break. The first two weeks I felt a little awkward and I didn’t really feel like I wanted to do longer scenes. I was just fine running around. Then as soon as Gillian and I started working and it was Mulder and Scully, then I kind of remembered what it was all about and that relationship kind of anchored my performance just as I think the relationship anchors this film. Anderson: I had a similar experience. This feels so weird. Summertime. I didn’t have all the running around that David had to do, but I did have my own unfortunate beginning which was starting with one of the most difficult scenes for Scully in the film where it’s later on in the script and she goes through a range of emotions in confronting Billy Connolly’s character. I just had a really hard time for those first couple of days. I had a really hard time just finding her, finding her voice. I think I must’ve gone through ten other characters in the process of trying to get to her when I had assumed that I would be able to show up on the first day and it would just be there. It wasn’t until I think day three when we got to work together, not just necessarily in a familiar environment which it really wasn’t, but in the environment of each other and the relationship and that it kind of felt natural and familiar and I felt like I’d landed this time. Question: The film was very heartfelt and thought provoking, similar to some of the early episodes. Did that play a part in coming back to this after all this time? Duchovny: No. My coming back was not based on script. At this point I have almost complete blind trust in Chris [Carter] and Frank [Spotnitz] to come up with the goods. So my only concern was that it should be a stand alone and not something that you needed specific knowledge of ‘The X-Files’ to enjoy. When I read the script I saw that it was that. Other than that I had no hopes or plans for what this would be. I just knew that the world we made and the world that Chris and Frank would remake was going to be satisfying to me. Anderson: I had stated my interest in being onboard sometime ago as well and by the time I read the script it was kind of a given that this was something that we were going to do. So I don’t think there was ever a point where I jumped more onboard or had an opportunity to back out of it… Duchovny: She wanted a musical. Anderson: We’re not allowed to sing. Question: What do you think the secret is to your chemistry when you two plays these characters as actors? Anderson: We’ve actually been having a fifteen year affair. Duchovny: I don’t know why in the beginning, maybe just luck in the beginning. But after this long we actually do have a history and so when I look over at Gillian or I’m Mulder looking over at Scully, there’s a lot of shit that I can call on. We have a lot between us and so you don’t really have to make it up. I think that just as people, now fifteen years later, we have just shared so much regardless of how much we speak to one another. I expect to see Gillian even if I haven’t seen her for a year. She’s not even listening to me. Anderson: I was, I was! Duchovny: You just heard the last line. Anderson: I did. I was really distracted. I was listening to every word that you said. Duchovny: I don’t have a window like you do over there. Anderson: You can tune out now. Whatever it is that’s between us was there from the second that we started working together and it’s not quantifiable. I think it’s something that is unique and yes, they got lucky, but it was something that Chris had seen which is why he fought so hard, specifically, and this is something that’s been written about a lot, to cast me over someone else. He saw something between the two of us that was unique. Whether it’s luck or that we were meant to be with each other all along, I don’t know. Duchovny: I mean, there’s chemistry in life and there’s acting chemistry. I’m not saying they’re the same thing, but they’re as mysterious. Question: There’s the fact that you’ve both had children and have had children over the past six years or so. Does that align you more with a Mulder or Scully in terms of personal philosophy? Anderson: I mean, when Scully had a child I’d already had a child. Duchovny: Gillian had a child the first year of the show. Anderson: I had a child when I was three [laughs]. But I think that in the series, from what I remember, Scully thought that she had a child early on – Emily. Right? Duchovny: Oh, yeah. Anderson: I don’t think that I would’ve been able to get there as an actor realistically, if I did do it realistically because I can’t really remember, because obviously that experience would’ve been informed by the fact that I was already a mother. I’m sure that our conversations that we do have from time to time about this child that I gave away must be influenced by the fact that I’ve had children, but the show was so not about maternity. It wasn’t about parents. It wasn’t about that. They were actually anti-parents in a way. Question: But in terms of having your own children, does that make you more of a skeptic or a believer of miracles or in absolutes? Anderson: That’s interesting. I never related the two. Probably absolutes on my end. Duchovny: I’m gonna look out the window [laughs]. It’s miraculous. It’s spiritual. It’s otherworldly to have kids. It’s more Mulder, I think, but I don’t know. Anderson: But then also when you have kids, when your kids get sick or when family members do, not just your kids, but when there’s death there’s also absolutes and that can hit home at any stage of one’s life. Duchovny: See, we’re starting to argue. Question: When you play characters this deep for so long and then it stops, how much of that stays with you for life? Does it impact your personality in some way for life? Duchovny: That’s a very interesting question and I wouldn’t know how to answer it. I mean, it impacts your life because strangers can see you that way. I’ll sit here and I’ll answer questions about this fictional person and so it stays with me in that way. I wouldn’t say that I ever get up and think of Mulder unless I’m working on it. I think that I liked a lot about the guy. When I played him I liked his courage and I liked his energy to get to the truth and to the quest and all of that and I think that at one point I’d learned a little from that, like a fan might. I was a fan of the guy. So that’s as far as I go in terms of saying that he lives in me. Anderson: It’s the same for me. I don’t do things, mannerisms or something and think, ‘Oh, that was kind of like Scully.’ But by the same token I don’t know how much of me today wasn’t influenced by the fact that I got to play her for such a long time. It’s possible that there are aspects of my seriousness or my independence or my inquisitiveness about the medical profession or science or something that aren’t directly related to the fact that I lived with her for such a long time. But that’s hard to qualify and hard to say. Duchovny: When Gillian operates on a human being – Anderson: That’s when I’m reminded of Scully. Question: Gillian, Scully was always rocking a cell phone way before everyone else. Always on the cell phone and using it. What’s your own relationship to your cell phone, and how do you think that the character has informed strong female law enforcement characters? Anderson: I think I only ever talked to Mulder on that cell phone. I don’t think that there were any conversation that was ever had with anyone else except for Mulder, if you remember. Duchovny: You were in my fave five. Anderson: Was I number one or number two? Remember how big our cell phones were? We just happened to have them in our pockets. Duchovny: Yeah. You had to have like a trench coat to have them in the pocket. Anderson: A cell phone in one and a Xenon flash in the other. Duchovny: ‘Hello? I’m talking to you on a phone that’s not attached to anything.’ Anderson: I’ve had letters from people, even actually recently, who have said, ‘Funnily enough I’ve been a fan for many years and it’s because of Scully that I’m now a forensic pathologist -‘ or ‘I’m now a medical doctor -‘ or ‘I’m now in the FBI -‘ or any of the fifteen things that she was as a professional to be able to say all those complicated words. Duchovny: You were talented. The cell phone question is interesting because I think that it extended the life of the series because Gillian and I were so fatigued and the advent of the cell phone, in what year? ’96? I don’t know. But it was instrumental in us being able to have time off because we could split up and we didn’t have to be in the same room to have a conversation. I’m being totally serious. I could have some time off and Gillian could have some time off and we’d just talk on the phone to one another rather than being in every scene together. Anderson: It’s very true. Duchovny: So if not for the cell phone no second half of ‘The X-Files’. Question: In terms of what’s on film how much does Chris encourage a sense of humor? Duchovny: Very, very, very little. Chris and I have always kind of battled over that. In the series it got in more and more for both of us as we went on and did what we thought of as the funny episodes and we both enjoyed doing those because they were like vacations and certainly Chris, as the show runner, was guiding that and letting that happen and saw the virtue in what a huge tent this show so that it could encompass everything from stand alones to mythology to parody of itself. I can’t think of another show that ever did that. We just never did the musical. We never did that, but that’s the only thing, thank goodness. But in terms of me coming up with stuff in the moment, usually Chris doesn’t like that because he has a different theory about the tension than I do. He really feels like it lets the air out of things and he doesn’t like to do that. I feel like I like to let the air out. So that’s just a difference opinion we have. I don’t know what your take on that is. Anderson: I’m not funny. Question: Did you ever ask her to the No Pants Restaurant? Duchovny: No, I never did. But I think I will. Anderson: Give me a few months, please [laughs]. Question: David, you famously sort of distanced yourself from the show in the last season, being fatigued, and then we hear that you’re really who was big into getting this movie done. Can you talk about that? Is it a love/hate relationship? Duchovny: I wouldn’t characterize me as the one who really wanted to get it going, but I’m certainly someone who would always say yes whenever Chris and I would talk about it. The love/hate has nothing to do with the actual content, the actual people, the actual anything. The love/hate had to do with me wanting to get on with the rest of my life, the rest of my career and when you think about it, that I did eight years and Gillian did nine, that’s a lifetime. There are no other dramas that keep the same characters that run that long. If you look at ‘Law & Order’ or ‘ER’, they’re twenty years old or whatever they are, but they’re completely recast. So it’s just not something you see. You don’t see actors not get fatigued and not get frustrated in a drama where we’re working, cell phones or not, everyday for many, many hours playing the same characters. So it’s just natural to burnout. There was always love for the show and love for the character. There was never any hate for that. Anderson: But it’s interesting that it’s always something for the press to latch onto. It’s always a surprise, in some way or it’s a good headline, that someone wants to leave. It creates good drama and so it always becomes this thing where actually it’s just a natural thing. Duchovny: Right, like you’re ungrateful in some way. Yes, I love ‘The X-Files’ and I love Vancouver. Those things are true. Question: Can you talk about working in the severe weather conditions up in Canada? Anderson: This time around I didn’t have as much exposure to it as David did. Fortunately, Chris didn’t write those words in the script for Scully. But I was up there in Whistler and when I arrived it was about eighteen below. Fortunately it didn’t stay there for too long, but I was out there for probably a good couple of weeks, I guess and it’s beautiful, but it’s also exhausting. Duchovny: Yeah. Let me try to say this in a way that’s right. Just doing quotation marks is going to get me in trouble. I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me. I think it’s hard sometimes. The logistics of it is if you’re out in the middle of nowhere and you’re running around in the freezing rain or snow you don’t get a chance to go off and warm up in your trailer because you’re seeing so much that your trailer is on the other side of the town. So you are stuck in clothes that aren’t fitting for the environment for a long time. So, yeah, it’s a pain in the ass, but you just suck it up and it’s not going to be that long and your feet are cold and your ass is cold and your hands are cold and your muscles are cold. You just suck it up. Anderson: I think one of the more physically challenging aspects for me at the time were that there were a couple of scenes where we had quite a bit of dialogue and when you’re in that kind of weather and the wind is slightly blowing and the snow is coming down, your lips actually do freeze. They do. There were a couple of times that were reminiscent of the pilot. There was a scene in the pilot where we’re in this pouring forest rain that’s freezing and I’m screeching at him about one thing or another – Duchovny: ‘You mean to say thirty miles?! Came here?!’ Anderson: Are you making fun of me? Duchovny: No. I just remember it. Anderson: I remember it too. It felt very much like that, but what was reminiscent was the fact that my mouth wouldn’t work. I had all this stuff to say and it just comes out as gobbledygook. Duchovny: But when you see it on film it’s just gorgeous. You look at those big snow flakes coming down in the movie and it’s worth it. Anderson: It’s beautiful. Duchovny: You have to know that when you’re putting up with it, that if you’re experiencing this discomfort it’s probably going to look pretty good on film. Anderson: If there’s pain involved. Question: What are your next projects? And was the George Bush/J. Edgar Hoover thing scripted or did it just come about? Duchovny: Yeah, that was completely scripted and that was an example of where I was trying to be what I thought was funny and Chris was like, ‘No. No.’ Anderson: Probably because he knew in the back of his mind that that little bit of music right there was going to be in there which kind of does the humor for it. Duchovny: Yeah, so no. That was actually always in it and was written in, literally as George Bush and J. Edgar Hoover. Anderson: We tried a few other versions of it. Duchovny: Yeah, what did we do? I thought they were funny. It was funny. I can’t remember. Question: Your upcoming projects? Anderson: I’ve got a couple of things coming out, but the next thing I’m going to do is a play in London. I’m going to do a play there a couple of months after the baby is born. Question: During your run of the show and of the movie, because of the things that you guys handled, did you ever experience any real paranormal happenings either on the set or outside of it? Anderson: At Riverview. There was a place that we shot during the series and also during the film that was an abandoned insane asylum – Duchovny: But not so abandoned. It was like half abandoned and half not. Anderson: Yeah. The top floor was being used for something. Duchovny: But there were some crazy people wandering around. Anderson: Yeah. It was miles and miles of institution and insanity. Duchovny: Actually, where we did the photos for this movie, that was where – Anderson: That was really creepy. Duchovny: We went into these rooms, tiny little rooms, that only had loops on the floor for where you would hook someone’s retraining irons onto. Anderson: There’s paint peeling and all of that stuff. Duchovny: But I’ve never really had a paranormal experience per say in my life. I believe in the spirit and the energy, but I’ve never seen it. I’ve felt it, but not seen it. Question: David, what’s your next project? Duchovny: I believe I will be doing this movie called ‘The Joneses’ and then ‘Californication’ season two is coming out in September. I have just three more days of filming of that and then we’re done.

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny Credit: Gillian Anderson/Instagram Of course, in the decades since his hit show first premiered, the multi-talented Duchovny, 60, has been plenty busy in the acting, writing and music worlds. "There is still a lot of stuff I want to do," says the author, whose fifth literary venture, an Audible Original audio story, The Reservoir, premieres Thursday. (A singer-songwriter, he will also release his third album this year, Gestureland, and is working on a pilot for his novel, Truly Like Lightning.) The inspiration for Reservoir came in part thanks to quarantine last year. "I was in New York at home, and I thought about what it would be like if I saw someone who was flashing their lights because they were in trouble and needed help," says Duchovny. "It's a little bit like Rear Window, in a pandemic." David Duchovny Besides the creative nudge, Duchovny admits that unprecedented time at home did have some silver linings. "My son was with me and we spent pretty much the last year together 24/7," says Duchovny of 18-year-old Miller, whom he shares with ex-wife Tea Leoni. (They also have daughter West, 22.) "I'd always been working a lot so we'd never really done that before. And it was a beautiful thing. We weren't really on each other's nerves too much!" And Dad's creative talents are passing down to his kids. "My daughter is an actress and she's really terrific," says Duchovny. "And my son plays the guitar. He's very musical. And he's good. I'm just mediocre. I'm not good enough to play with him!"
