"The truth is out there," is the tagline from the show that made him famous, but X-Files star David Duchovny has always kept the details of his private life firmly under wraps. "He's one of the most enigmatic and elusive stars in Hollywood," says an OK! insider. "And there are a lot of misconceptions about him." He won't be a man of mystery for much longer.

His love life will certainly take up a lot of real estate. He and Leoni, 54, wed in 1997 after just eight weeks of dating. But Duchovny's demanding career coupled with his womanizing ways soon drove a wedge between them.

Heartbroken, the actress gave Duchovny an ultimatum: get treatment or get a divorce. He soon checked into The Meadows clinic in Arizona for sex addiction. (Ironically, he also played a sex addict in the series Californication from 2007 to 2014.) Rehab was just what the doctor ordered.

"They tried to make it work, but they'd grown apart and lost the spark," the insider says. Duchovny still has regrets.

"Gillian doesn't want to do it again. She's done, and David won't do it without her." Duchovny's got enough to keep him busy. He's hard at work on his third novel and he's passionate about his surprising new gig as a rock musician!

There are quite a few things fans don't know about Gillian Anderson. For the most part, they know that she's currently playing Margaret Thatcher on The Crown, but they may not know that she still has a complicated relationship with her X-Files co-star, David Duchovny. While Gillian Anderson seems to have a certain reputation around Hollywood, David Duchovny does too. In fact, there's a theory that his Californication character (Hank Moody) was based on him. Therefore, we can imagine these two Hollywood titans clashing... And apparently, they did. Let's take a look at why these two feuded and what they feuded about... It Started To Come To Light In 1997 Fox's The X-Files ran from 1993 until 2002, had a revival from 2016 to 2018, and spawned two films in 1998 and 2008. Throughout the show's run, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were locked in a mysterious feud that neither has been 100% honest about. According to Metro UK, David blames the sheer amount of hours they worked together for their feud: "Familiarity breeds contempt". Then he said, "We used to argue about nothing. We couldn’t stand the sight of each other." But not everyone who spends time with someone begins to hate them... So, what really happened? According to UpRoxx, fans started to catch wind of their feud in 1997 when Gillian forgot to thank David or X-Files' creator Chris Carter during her Emmy win for the role. Afterward, she took out a full-page ad in Variety thanking them and the cast and crew. However, a year earlier, David Duchovny was quoted in a book talking about the tension he had with his X-Files co-star: "We don't hang out. We are very wary of the fact that at any moment the other can turn into a psychotic human being because of the demands that are put on us, the sixteen-hour days. So I know when she is tired and irritable, and she knows the same about me. We have a great respect for the fine line the other is walking all the time." Yet, when David won a Golden Globe two years later, he praised Gillian as an amazing co-star... Yet multiple interviews he gave around the win suggested that he was supremely frustrated with Gillian. It's all very confusing. What is clear is that the two had very different working styles. David, who hated filming the show in Vancouver, wanted to move at a faster pace. Gillian, on the other hand, was a perfectionist and took forever to get ready and wanted to constantly redo her work. David And Gillian Further Complicated The Narrative On Jimmy Kimmel While promoting their X-Files revival on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2016, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were asked about their complicated history. Both of them seemed fairly uncomfortable when answering this line of questions... Although, both of them didn't exactly seem thrilled to be sitting there with each other in the first place. But they moved through it all as best they could... They are professionals, after all. "Today...," Jimmy Kimmel began. "I was very surprised at how friendly you guys were and are because I was under the impression that you guys didn't like each other when you were shooting the show." "You mean friendly to each other?" Gillian asked. "Yeah." Then the three of them started to joke about how Jimmy Kimmel and his producers made the two X-Files stars engage in a personal and touchy skit before they came on to interview. "But even off-camera. There was a lot of comradery it seems there, " Jimmy said. "There is," Gillian claimed. "Mm. Mhm," David nodded. "Was it always like that?" Jimmy asked, causing both of them to shake their heads... "No," Gillian said. "So, I do remember that correctly. There was some rough patches." "Sure, yeah," David said, clearly not wanting to get into the subject. This is when Jimmy probed more, asking what exactly the two X-Files icons would fight about on and off of the set. "Like, if you had to pick one thing," Jimmy continued, seeing that both David and Gillian were both physically squirming in their seats. "What was it that rubbed you the wrong way about each other." "Well, I wondered this for a long time and, uh, um... I think part of it, you know, we shot in Vancouver [British Columbia, Canada] and it's very moist in Vancouver," Gillian said of the wetter climate the stunning coastal city often has in the Spring, Fall, and Winter. "It was the humidity?" Jimmy asked, laughing. At this point in the interview, Gillian couldn't get it together. Between laughing about claiming Vancouver was "moist" and his uncomfortable she appeared to be with the line of questioning, the whole thing turned into a s*** show. David, on the other hand, played off the tension with his typical Hank Moody expressions. "Let me just say, I have no idea where it's going. And It's kind of fun," David said. "I would finish the story if I had any idea what you were talking about. But I don't." As she got it together, Gillian claimed that the moistness in the Vancouver air made her hair very frizzy... "That's what it was!" David joked. "It takes us forever. Between every single take, they would have to blowdry my hair again. And things take a long time," Gillian said. "And I got pissed at that?" David asked. "Well, I think it added to the tension..." Gillian said. "It kind of makes me sound like an a***hole." Their Relationship Is Still An Enigma The last time we heard from either David or Gillian about their relationship was in 2018. According to The Daily Mail, Gillian was asked about her somewhat mysterious feud with David. This is when she said she actually didn't really know him... even though they've worked together on-and-off for decades... "We’ve spent so much time with each other over the years that I’ve probably been together with him more than in any other relationship I’ve had. But that doesn’t necessarily make you close. We might have a little chit-chat between scenes but we don’t really talk about our personal lives because we’re at work. And we don’t have meals together because we’re spending so much time in each other’s company." While both X-Files' stars have been coy about what's really happened between them, it's pretty obvious that their relationship was anything but a walk in the park.

Rob Kim/Getty Images When The X-Files first premiered back in 1993, it thrilled sci-fi fans with spine-tingling stories that were filled with alleged aliens, mysterious monsters, and spooky situations. Viewers were also captivated by the show's two leading stars, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. While the pair played Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, FBI agents who eventually became romantic partners on the series, things were not exactly always so friendly between the actors in real life. Anderson and Duchovny's relationship seemed to start off well and when he earned a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Series in January 1997, he called Anderson "the best co-star anybody could have," according to Uproxx. However, when "cameras move[d] to pick up a reaction shot from the actress ... an eye-roll [was] detected." On top of that, "Anderson did not, for her part, similarly mention Duchovny during her moment in the spotlight" when she won Best Actress "immediately prior," which might have hinted at the fact that she was not feeling as fond of him as he was of her. By August of that same year, Duchovny spoke to Cult Times (via Uproxx) and admitted that he did not "socialize with Gillian, just because we're working together all the time." While he claimed that they got along and that she was the only one who really knew what he was "going through," he admitted, "Sometimes we all just show up and go, 'I'd rather be anywhere else but here, and I'm going to make you suffer for it." Yikes! And things did not really get better from there. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson 'couldn't stand the sight of each other' Kevin Winter/Getty Images If you have ever watched The X-Files, then you likely understand why people adored Dana Scully and Fox Mulder's dynamic. You also surely get why those same fans hoped that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were a real-life item or at least friends. However, not only did they fail to find romance together, but they also struggled to simply be friendly towards each other. Frankly, "off screen The X-Files stars were constantly arguing," according to Us Weekly. By the time the series had wrapped up its original run and returned for a movie in 2008, Duchovny revealed that their relationship had pretty much been non-existent. When asked by Metro when he had last seen Anderson before reuniting to film again, he admitted that "[i]t had been a number of years," but also added that "when you spend that much time with someone it doesn't feel like you've been apart. She's like my sister." When it was noted that the actors "must have been sick of ... each other" after they had "work[ed] so closely together for eight years," Duchovny confirmed that notion, explaining, "Absolutely. Familiarity breeds contempt." He explained, "It's nothing to do with the other person. All that fades away and you're just left with the appreciation and love for the people you've worked with for so long. We used to argue about nothing. We couldn't stand the sight of each other." Granted, according to Anderson, there was another reason why they did not get along. Gillian Anderson said she and David Duchovny 'were both pains in the arse' Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny may be able to thank their on-screen chemistry for being a part of what made The X-Files a success, however, they can't thank each other for making the filming experience any easier. "[T]here were definitely periods when we hated each other," Anderson told The Guardian in 2015. She then corrected herself, saying, "Hate is too strong a word. 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." When asked how Duchovny was an, er, pain in her arse, she indulged in a lengthy pause before saying, "I'm not even going to begin to get into that. But we are closer today than we ever have been." That certainly seemed to be true because, although "Anderson was the most notable no-show at Duchovny's Walk of Fame event" in 2016, as The Guardian pointed out, "she did send a letter that was read aloud, a mock eulogy that ended with her jokingly saying, 'He'll always be my shining star. May his soul rest in peace.'" Oh, um, that's ... nice? As for Duchovny, he revealed that same year that he still deals with questions about a potential real-life romance between himself and Anderson, something that apparently "visibly frustrates him." He explained, "Gillian and I are not lovers, or boyfriend and girlfriend." And it kinda seems like they never will be.

(Image credit: Fox) David Duchovny made a name for himself on television thanks to his long-running role on The X-Files as Fox Mulder, although he went on to star in Showtime's Californication in a role that was definitely different from Mulder. Now, Duchovny is slated to return to Showtime for a new project, and it is high time that somebody get Duchovny's X-Files screen partner Gillian Anderson to appear in a project with him again after the X-Files revival ended on Fox in project bringing David Duchovny back to Showtime is potential series adaptation of the novel Truly Like Lightning, which Duchovny wrote and was published back in February 2021. Deadline reports that the potential Truly Like Lightning show has already received a script order in the development process, with Duchovny attached to play the leading man, write the adaptation, and executive produce if the script order results in a series order. Also on board are Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, who wrote and directed The Peanut Butter Falcon. They would direct and executive produce the what does that have to do with Gillian Anderson? Well, the plot of Truly Like Lightning could provide some potential characters for Anderson, and her roles ranging from The X-Files to Sex Education to play a sex therapist to The Crown prove that she has the range to do more than just play the skeptic to David Duchovny's believer during their time on the Fox series. The plot centers on Bronson Powers, to be played by Duchovny, who is a former Hollywood stuntman with three wives and ten children who has embraced a life off the grid and unplugged in the desert of Joshua life is turned upside down when a real estate developer attempts to ruthlessly force him off his desert land, which could result in his family being exposed to the temptations of modern 21st century America, which Bronson had tried to leave behind. The book is described as "a heartbreaking meditation on family, religion, sex, greed, human nature, and the vanishing environment of an ancient desert," and the real estate developer in the novel is a female the three wives and the real estate developer, there are four characters right there that Gillian Anderson could play for an adaptation! With David Duchovny so heavily involved with the potential project plus preexisting ties with Showtime, it's not unimaginable that he could bring Anderson in if she was so inclined and had the there is the point that at least some viewers might focus more on the X-Files reunion than anything happening in the new show, but Duchovny and Anderson are skilled enough actors that working opposite each other on such a different project could totally work, right? As a veteran X-Files fan, I have to say that I'd rather see Anderson as a separate and more distinct character than one of three wives. Although it would be fun to actually get to see them play love interests on screen for once after the Mulder/Scully situation!For his part, David Duchovny has said that he's "so excited to be heading back home to Showtime" and that he "can't wait to begin" the new collaboration for Truly Like Lightning. There is no guarantee at this point that Truly Like Lightning will get a series order, but with the writer of the book so heavily involved and formerly starring and executive producing a hit for the network, I can definitely see David Duchovny getting his project off the ground and adapted into a TV show, with or without Gillian Anderson for another X-Files you want to relive David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson's days together as Mulder and Scully, you can find the full run of The X-Files (including the divisive pair of revival seasons) streaming on Hulu now.

Już w poniedziałek i wtorek w polskim FOX-ie będziecie mogli oglądać nowe odcinki "Z Archiwum X". Serial powraca po latach z krótkim, 6-odcinkowym sezonem, w którym Mulder i Scully znów będą ganiać kosmitów i stawiać czoła wszelkiego rodzaju zjawiskom nadprzyrodzonym, spiskom i rzeczom, jakich świat nie widział. Tymczasem przyjrzyjmy się temu wszystkiemu, co ta dwójka robiła w międzyczasie na małym ekranie. Oboje mieli słabsze momenty w karierze i oboje byli w stanie je przezwyciężyć. Ale i tak wydaje się, że powrót do Archiwum X jest w tej chwili najlepszą opcją i dla nich, i dla nas, widzów. DAVID DUCHOVNY "Miasteczko Twin Peaks" Zanim jeszcze zaczął grać w "Z Archiwum X", David Duchovny pojawił się w trzech odcinkach "Miasteczka Twin Peaks" w roli przystojnej agentki FBI Denise Bryson, która wcześniej była agentem Dennisem Brysonem. Dziś mało kto już o tym pamięta, nie ma też pewności, czy aktor powtórzy swoją rolę w nowych odcinkach "Miasteczka Twin Peaks", zapowiadanych na przyszły rok. Sam Duchovny obiecywał, że dla Davida Lyncha może nawet ogolić nogi. Na razie jednak nie wiadomo, czy do tego dojdzie, bo Lynch nie zdradza żadnych spoilerów, nawet tych dotyczących obsady. "Twin Peaks", fot. ABC "Pamiętnik Czerwonego Pantofelka" Serial erotyczny telewizji Showtime, w którym niejaki Jake Winters - facet, który nie mógł przeboleć straty narzeczonej - przedstawiał widzom historie kolejnych kobiet, angażujących się w śmiałe przygody seksualne. David Duchovny dostał tę rolę w roku 1992, zanim jeszcze zdążył zostać słynnym agentem FBI. "Pamiętnik Czerwonego Pantofelka", fot. Showtime "Seks w wielkim mieście" Przez "Seks w wielkim mieście" przewinęło się wielu znanych aktorów, którzy grali role przelotnych miłostek czy też po prostu seksualnych przygód głównych bohaterek. David Duchovny pojawił się w 2003 roku w odcinku "Boy, Interrupted" w roli Jeremy'ego, dawnego chłopaka Carrie z liceum, z którym spotkała się po latach. Niestety, okazało się, że nie da się powrócić do tego, co było, zwłaszcza że Jeremy okazał się skrywać pewną tajemnicę. "Seks w wielkim mieście", fot. HBO "Californication" Musiało minąć pięć lat od zakończenia "Z Archiwum X", by dawny agent Mulder znów się odnalazł na małym ekranie. W 2007 roku wrócił do telewizji Showtime, by zagrać Hanka Moody'ego, pisarza z Nowego Jorku, który po przeprowadzce do Los Angeles stracił miłość swojego życia i pogrążył się w przygodnym seksie, alkoholu, narkotykach i wszelkiego rodzaju dekadencji. Rola niegrzecznego chłopca, który w duszy cały czas pozostał romantykiem, przyniosła aktorowi Złoty Glob i sprawiła, że znów trafił do telewizyjnej pierwszej ligi. "Californication", fot. Showtime "Aquarius" "Californication" zakończyło się w 2014 roku i niestety kolejny wybór Duchovny'ego okazał się nie najlepszy. "Aquarius" to serial NBC, opowiadający o polowaniu na Charlesa Mansona i jego ludzi. Serial w najlepszym razie średni, w którym tylko Duchovny wyróżnia się na plus w roli detektywa Sama Hodiaka. NBC zamówiło drugi sezon, który będzie miał premierę w tym roku, ale na tym prawdopodobnie się skończy. "Aquarius", fot. NBC GILLIAN ANDERSON "Class of '96" David Duchovny, zanim dostał rolę Muldera, grał w "Miasteczku Twin Peaks" i serialu erotycznym telewizji Showtime, zaś młodsza od niego o osiem lat Gillian Anderson nie pojawiła tak właściwie nigdzie. No, prawie nigdzie. Jej telewizyjny debiut miał miejsce w 1993 roku, tuż przed "Z Archiwum X", kiedy to zagrała gościnną rólkę w jednym z odcinków "Class of '96". Nie słyszeliście o takim serialu? I nic dziwnego, przetrwał on tylko kilka miesięcy na antenie FOX-a. A opowiadał o studentach pierwszego roku, zmagających się z nowymi wyzwaniami życiowymi, a także problemami społecznymi, jak rasizm czy seksizm. "Class of '96", fot. FOX "The Fall" Pięć lat po zakończeniu "Z Archiwum X" David Duchovny grał już w "Californication", zaś jego dawna koleżanka z pracy nie mogła się odnaleźć na małym ekranie przez dekadę. Przełom nastąpił w 2013 roku, kiedy zaczęła się jej przygoda z "Hannibalem", a także brytyjską telewizją. W "The Fall" wciela się w detektyw Stellę Gibson, która jest jedną z najciekawszych, najinteligentniejszych postaci kobiecych, jakie pojawiły się w ostatnich latach w telewizji. Gillian, która jest teraz blondynką, a nie rudzielcem jak Scully, mówi w serialu z brytyjskim akcentem, wygląda piękniej niż kiedykolwiek i emanuje dobrze znaną fanom "Z Archiwum X" mieszanką chłodu i seksapilu. "The Fall", fot. BBC "Hannibal" W "Hannibalu" - niestety już skasowanym - dawna agentka Scully grała psychiatrę głównego bohatera, dr Bedelię Du Maurier. To intrygująca, skomplikowana bohaterka, uwikłana przez trzy sezony w coraz bardziej niebezpieczne gry, w miarę jak dowiadywała się coraz więcej i więcej o swoim jedynym pacjencie. Co ciekawe, postać została stworzona specjalnie na potrzeby serialu. W książkach Thomasa Harrisa w ogóle jej nie ma. "Hannibal", fot. NBC "Stan kryzysowy" Słabiutki, schematyczny serial telewizji NBC, który rozpoczynał się od porwania dzieci wpływowych osób z Waszyngtonu. "Stan kryzysowy" przetrwał zaledwie kilkanaście odcinków i prawdopodobnie mało kto wie, jak się skończył, ponieważ publika topniała z odcinka na odcinek. Trudno właściwie powiedzieć, co takiego robiła w nim Gillian Anderson, ale na pewno w roli wpływowej prezes firmy z branży IT - której córka była wśród porwanych dzieciaków - prezentowała się świetnie. Problem w tym, że nie miała za bardzo czego grać. "Stan kryzysowy", fot. NBC "War and Peace" W styczniu 2016 roku na antenie BBC zadebiutowała nowa serialowa adaptacja "Wojny i pokoju" Lwa Tołstoja. W znakomitej obsadzie - gra tu Lily James - znalazło się miejsce dla Gillian Anderson, którą możemy podziwiać w roli rosyjskiej arystokratki Anny Pawłownej Scherer, damy dworu carowej Marii Fiodorowny. Nie jest to duża rola, a i sam serial można określić raczej mianem poprawnego niż wybitnego czy ekscytującego. Ale przynajmniej fani agentki Scully mogą ją podziwiać w przepięknych sukniach i futrzanych czapach. Kostiumy w serialach BBC są na najwyższym poziomie i miniserial "War and Peace" nie jest tu wyjątkiem. "War and Peace", fot. BBC

It may be one of the summer’s most anticipated films of the year, at least for ardent fans of the Emmy winning TV series. 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.

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."
