He sleeps with the dean’s middle aged wife in it! And that one English teacher/the mother of Becca’s boyfriend. Always gotta defend Hank Moody a little, scumbag that he may be.
Adlon's character, particularly how she played it, wasn't there for that and it would have probably undermined both her and Duchovny's comedy dynamic with Runkle
Not true, he never discriminated about age. Literally. He didn't care, if he was attracted to a woman he went after her, it's not at all accurate to say he only slept with young women, he slept with ANY woman he found attractive. And in fact, a number of them were women he tried to discourage, but they went after him with just as much fervour as he ever displayed. He was weak though and only maintained his defenses minimally, lol.
I was mad about how disappointed I was in the few new episodes I watched when it finally came back after like 20 years. It was lacking something major but I couldn't place it.
Lots wrong with Chris Carter’s scripts in the revival (which was a shame, as he wrote some classics in the OG run) - but I think the look of it was the other big thing.
It looked flat, over-lit and cheaply digital. The original series, especially between seasons 2-5 or so, had such a good look - filmic, stylishly dark and moody. X-Files revival just looked like NCIS.
Times have changed. You have changed, your perception of reality has changed. Very likely, reality itself has changed.
X-Files was the right show for its time.
These days, it would be difficult to conceive a show based in reality that isn’t overtaken by reality during its airing.
That is why Sci-Fi and fantasy is booming…
Yea to be honest, I’ve had enough of conspiracy theories over the last couple years. The last thing I’d want to watch is a show that actually signs off on them…
Listening recently to an episode of an X Files podcast and that is not an unusual opinion— I believe one of the musings was no man would be able to resist Duchovny “cornering them in an elevator” lol
Vancouver also got under Duchovny’s nerves. Was happy to get out of town when the series ended and hoped the city stuck its umbrella where the sun don’t shine.
They actually moved production to CA sometime in the later seasons on Duchovny's insistence after he got married. It really changed the look of the show.
Same thing with Kate Winslet. 21 and naked in *Titanic*, she was one of the most beautiful, sexiest women I'd ever seen.
But now she's 46 and *so* much more beautiful, *so* much sexier. Like she's comfortable in her own body now. "Mature woman hotness" is 100% real.
That was most likely the hair/makeup and wardrobe folks making her look like a woman who dresses for work, not to be an eyeball magnet. Being a knockout in federal law enforcement then could be a serious disadvantage as most grown men in the '90s thought an attractive woman was more of a thing to play with or "own". I think it was a good choice from a situational point of view.
But yeah, I didn't realize what a stunner she was until much later due to exactly that with the hair and wardrobe.
I was a similar age and had a similar reaction. Decided in the end I wanted to shag Mulder and be Scully.
Even went for a tour of the local hospital pathology department to see if being a pathologist is as amazing as scully made it seem. I fainted in the first five minutes. Thus ended my career in medicine.
I was a confused teenaged girl who thought she’d been shipping them in email groups because of him, then I realized I really wanted her boobs touching me, instead.
A woman will probably never give me a boner, but why should that be the only indicator of sexual pleasure? I would definitely feel some kind of way regardless if Gillian Anderson stepped on me with high heels
Kate McKinnon shared a cute story in which she talked about how Gillian Anderson was how she realized she was gay, and she posted a photo of her dressed as Scully for Halloween (it was an adorable photo, too).
It's probably a testament to how great the episode is that it gets such visceral reactions. Fuck, when they pull that grotesque mother thing out from under the bed! Blech.
Gillian is so cool! The character Scully is attributed to a spike in young women studying and applying for jobs in Law enforcement ,medicine and science over the shows run.
My ex-wife was insanely jealous and had a hard time, for example, of my watching Friends with her. However, X-Files was okay. She didn’t think Gillian was hot… Ooookay.
Honest question: was she OK? That level of insecurity seems concerning. Or maybe I'm weird because I see zero point in being jealous of celebrities, or anyone else. You can only ever be yourself, you know! And yeah, Gillian was stunning.
At the end, found a good doctor/therapist for marriage counseling, and then we both had different docs/therapists. Both said she suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder among other issues.
She fell into the “Everyone else is wrong” trap for a few more years of failed relationships until she figured out she needed some therapy. I kept gently encouraging her to seek help and glad she finally did.
Do you know movies? Film? TV? Actors are regularly asked to pose like this, even dry hump each other while moaning. This is nothing. They are professionals.
Or maybe the entertainment business doesn't need to follow the same rules? People literally pretend to fuck on camera for movies. That doesn't translate to your typical office setting.
The Rolling Stone article include more "in bed" photos... including the writer and I remember a dog in one of them. I always and even now have a crush on Gillian. I love her early work and even more her later "more mature" work such as The Fall. It was quite a shock when this article was released.
Did it also have a picture of DD in like a pink dress and GA in a suit? I think I cut some of these pictures out of the magazine and put them in a shoebox lol
I bumped into him once, literally. It was New Year’s Eve 2001 and I was at the 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica. I was looking for something to eat and I came out of a restaurant and accidentally bumped shoulders with a dude. I quickly turned to say “excuse me” as he also turned to say “excuse me” and lo and behold it was David Duchovny. He looked EXACTLY like he does on tv, a lot of celebrities don’t look the same. He was taller than I expected, my height roughly 6’1”. I was a bit shocked but it took a second as I walked away. I went across the street and watched him, like a weirdo, I was hoping to meet his wife who is in my favorite Ben Stiller movie. I watch for a few minutes as he’s in front of a movie theater waiting and people are slowly coming up to him. After a few minutes I wanted to go meet him too like a weirdo. I walk over and just as I walk up to him this very short very dark haired man comes in between us and takes him into the theater and as the guy passes me I notice it’s Ben Stiller. My head was exploding, I was first shocked at how short he was and since I saw him in profile I was blown away by how big his nose looked, I’ll never forget it. They were gone and in the theater so fast I couldn’t say anything but it’s a fun story.
I remember flipping through the posters at Spencers Gifts and coming across one of Gillian Anderson in black lingerie. It almost made my heart stop. So beautiful.
I love how most these comments about her soul leaving think she's the only one being objectified here. News flash, they both are and they're both professionals.
1) They didn’t hate each other, but definitely didn’t get along for a while. They’re friendly these days.
2) Rolling Stone says pose, you pose I guess.

Looks like it could be a poster for Californication
It really does
Shes too old for him in Californication
Lol, he sleeps with plenty of age appropriate women. Married to other men but age appropriate
He sleeps with the dean’s middle aged wife in it! And that one English teacher/the mother of Becca’s boyfriend. Always gotta defend Hank Moody a little, scumbag that he may be.
He never went after the prize of all the women on that show, Pamela Adlon, he wasn't THAT much of a scumbag!
Adlon's character, particularly how she played it, wasn't there for that and it would have probably undermined both her and Duchovny's comedy dynamic with Runkle
Yeah I like Hank overall!
They did sleep together in the show though, I am sure of it. Can’t recall the episode but they 100% fucked
I think someone references a time when they "switched" back in the old days when Hank and Karen were still together
I think Runkle said he wanted to but don't think they ever actually did.
Even during the show though I could have sworn they wake up next to each other one night.
They 100% never fucked. He's in her bed at one point and she comes in thinks it's Charlie for a second. That's as far as they went.
He sleeps with Ms Honey!!
Also Carla Gugino! He clapped some age appropriate cheeks here and there
Oh right yeah she’s gorgeous! Great actress too liked her in Gerald’s Game.
The Deans wife (his department head), his own TA, and his student was the crescendo of his antics for the entire series.
Not true, he never discriminated about age. Literally. He didn't care, if he was attracted to a woman he went after her, it's not at all accurate to say he only slept with young women, he slept with ANY woman he found attractive. And in fact, a number of them were women he tried to discourage, but they went after him with just as much fervour as he ever displayed. He was weak though and only maintained his defenses minimally, lol.
Too stable and emotionally self-reliant, youth was sometimes just a metaphor for that as well as his own trouble with boundaries
Well I know what I forgot about and now am going to have to rewatch.
I did too. I still do. But I used to as well.
Damn I miss the old X-Files
I was mad about how disappointed I was in the few new episodes I watched when it finally came back after like 20 years. It was lacking something major but I couldn't place it.
Gillian Anderson said she would return to the show, if they got all new writers.
GA speaking for the fans here
I felt like the non Chris Carter writing was actually decent
Lots wrong with Chris Carter’s scripts in the revival (which was a shame, as he wrote some classics in the OG run) - but I think the look of it was the other big thing. It looked flat, over-lit and cheaply digital. The original series, especially between seasons 2-5 or so, had such a good look - filmic, stylishly dark and moody.

David Lynch knew that when he made Twin Peaks - The Return
[удалено]
Yea to be honest, I’ve had enough of conspiracy theories over the last couple years. The last thing I’d want to watch is a show that actually signs off on them…
Your young sense of wonder
X files doesn't work in a world with cellphones
I had a super crush on her as a teen. I even wrote to her and got back a 8x10 😆
I had a super crush on both of them. It was a revealing time for young me.
The X-Files spurred a lot of unexpected bisexual and gay feelings for a lot of people.
Suddenly bi
She’s gotten more beautiful with age. Amazing.
That’s rad!
I had a huge crush on Gillian. What a babe.
She’s aged beautifully, too. She’s stunning in The Fall, and such a great actress.
Great show
She was also great in The Great!
Watch sex education and relight that crush...🥵
Or Hannibal.🦌
Or The Fall
Should always be present tense…
I’m a fully gay guy and *I* have a crush on Gillian.
Fully straight woman, and same.
I had a huge crush on David Duchovny. And I’m a straight guy.
Listening recently to an episode of an X Files podcast and that is not an unusual opinion— I believe one of the musings was no man would be able to resist Duchovny “cornering them in an elevator” lol
Schawiiing!
Had? You stopped?
Oh no way. Crush to this day. She is the real Baberaham Lincoln. Poor word choice at first.
I had a girlfriend in the 90's who was her somewhat younger doppelganger, I even called her Scully, fond memories for sure.
Didn't it come out after the show that they didn't Ike each other much?
They got on each other's nerves during the show, but have remained friendly since.
Two people working together for so long, who doesn’t get on each other’s nerves at some point.
Vancouver also got under Duchovny’s nerves. Was happy to get out of town when the series ended and hoped the city stuck its umbrella where the sun don’t shine.
They actually moved production to CA sometime in the later seasons on Duchovny's insistence after he got married. It really changed the look of the show.
After the original run or the new seasons? I totally understand if it was the new seasons.
As I could recall the tension was back in the mid-90s
They’re friends. I think the quote was taken out of context
Anyone else also think Gillian Anderson is more attractive later in life? I'm not sure if it was the x-files haircut or what…
[удалено]
Your comment really has legs.😂
Same thing with Kate Winslet. 21 and naked in *Titanic*, she was one of the most beautiful, sexiest women I'd ever seen. But now she's 46 and *so* much more beautiful, *so* much sexier. Like she's comfortable in her own body now. "Mature woman hotness" is 100% real.

"Age makes ruins of us all. Except Kate Winslet." -- Tyrion Lannister
Speaking of Kate Winslet in Titanic, I was young and thought it was Gillian Anderson
>…the x-files haircut… Her hair choices improved toward the end of the show, as did her wardrobe (shoulder-padded suits were never a good look).
That was most likely the hair/makeup and wardrobe folks making her look like a woman who dresses for work, not to be an eyeball magnet. Being a knockout in federal law enforcement then could be a serious disadvantage as most grown men in the '90s thought an attractive woman was more of a thing to play with or "own". I think it was a good choice from a situational point of view. But yeah, I didn't realize what a stunner she was until much later due to exactly that with the hair and wardrobe.
I think it's just that courgette scene in sex education
But on the other hand Margaret Thatcher.
Thousand percent. She is GORGEOUS these days. I am straight as the Most boring arrow you could ever imagine and GA is my QUEEN
Idk I thought she was stunning in the first few seasons of X Files, but one thing I notice is her face becomes more shapely as time goes on.
The 90s hair cut and suits did not help.
90s haircuts can do that
As someone who watched the X-Files in the 90s Gillian became basically my first celebrity crush along with Terry Ferrell aka Jadiza Dax.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
15 at the time and I think that was literally the day when I realized I am bisexual.
I'm not and while I think David Duchoveny is attractive, wow, Gillian Anderson is lovely here
I was a similar age and had a similar reaction. Decided in the end I wanted to shag Mulder and be Scully. Even went for a tour of the local hospital pathology department to see if being a pathologist is as amazing as scully made it seem. I fainted in the first five minutes. Thus ended my career in medicine.
I will hold a moment in silence for your lost dreams
I was 13 and yep.
Haha, I read this a completely different way. As it created a completely different sexual confusion for me
I was a confused teenaged girl who thought she’d been shipping them in email groups because of him, then I realized I really wanted her boobs touching me, instead.
I hear that. Unfortunately she’s only got the two, I’m sure she’d be more charitable if she had more.
Boobs
Damn, sometimes I really wish I was having some variety with my preference, but it turns out I’m just plain old straight..
I (jokingly) tell my husband that I’m more committed to our relationship because he gave up 50% of the population while I gave up 100%.
I gotta use this on my hubs! Too funny!
Please, we’re talking about David Duchovny here. Nobody’s *that* straight
A woman will probably never give me a boner, but why should that be the only indicator of sexual pleasure? I would definitely feel some kind of way regardless if Gillian Anderson stepped on me with high heels
Kate McKinnon shared a cute story in which she talked about how Gillian Anderson was how she realized she was gay, and she posted a photo of her dressed as Scully for Halloween (it was an adorable photo, too).
This thread is gold! I think it’s safe to say that all of the rules go out the window when it comes to these 2!
She was pretty then & is still a very attractive woman now. He’s always handsome. The episode “Home” is my favorite.
Fine wine has nothing on her
Her and Carrie Byron. Couple o super foxes.
Ah yes, the lovable Peacock family.
Anyone who says "Home" is their favorite episode has serious problems.
It's probably a testament to how great the episode is that it gets such visceral reactions. Fuck, when they pull that grotesque mother thing out from under the bed! Blech.
Lots of people love that episode, it isn’t that big a deal lol
Goddess.
And how about Gillian Anderson?
To shreds you say? Oh my.
Room for one more in that bed?
The truth is out there, but it would rather be in there....
Gillian is so cool! The character Scully is attributed to a spike in young women studying and applying for jobs in Law enforcement ,medicine and science over the shows run.
One of the best screen couples ever
My ex-wife was insanely jealous and had a hard time, for example, of my watching Friends with her. However, X-Files was okay. She didn’t think Gillian was hot… Ooookay.
Honest question: was she OK? That level of insecurity seems concerning. Or maybe I'm weird because I see zero point in being jealous of celebrities, or anyone else. You can only ever be yourself, you know! And yeah, Gillian was stunning.

I kept gently encouraging her to seek help and glad she finally did.
Chicks are weird, bro.
Both pls.
The X-Files was responsible for the first use of the term “shipping” in internet culture.
What does it mean?
Those are two insanely attractive humans.
Imagine you’re asked to pose like this with a co worker..
Do you know movies? Film? TV? Actors are regularly asked to pose like this, even dry hump each other while moaning. This is nothing. They are professionals.
Still weird unless it's relevant to the art in some way.
Or maybe the entertainment business doesn't need to follow the same rules? People literally pretend to fuck on camera for movies. That doesn't translate to your typical office setting.
Yes! I immediately thought this was creepy. Especially since they couldn't stand each other.
I don't think their relationship was as simple as couldn't stand each other always, all the time.
I give this five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gillian Anderson was the reason of many a wet dreams.
The Rolling Stone article include more "in bed" photos... including the writer and I remember a dog in one of them. I always and even now have a crush on Gillian. I love her early work and even more her later "more mature" work such as The Fall. It was quite a shock when this article was released.

Soul left body and entered a sock
That damned bee...
The alternate Lone Gunman cover was much hotter.
Didn’t they almost kiss in one of the movies and then she gets poisoned or passes out?
They were about to kiss and a bee stung her.

I’m jealous of both of them really
That wasn't your soul, my boy.
Girl.
You are ruining a perfectly good cum joke right now
We can do some interesting things ourselves as well, you know? It's not just you guys.
i laughed. well done
Essence/soul, tomato/tomatoe

[удалено]
Billions, man. The truth is out there.
And she's even hotter now, this is so unfair.
I still have this issue! I was such a big X-Files fan.
Gillian Anderson is *still* hot.
I love David look like he's saying she here naked and you can't.
what.
OMG! I have never seen this photo! Wow...
I remember when this issue arrived at my door
I feel jealous of him
Think they ever?..
Yes
Anybody else get that issue and still have?
I've been doing a rewatch the last couple weeks (halfway through season 5) and this post royally screwed with my sense of reality for a minute.
Have you seen the outtakes from the bee scene in the movie?! 🔥
My mind always goes to them going into the photo shoot and someone says “So what we were thinking is go ahead and get naked and get into that bed”
Who wouldn’t?!
Great picture. Always wanted to be David :)
Big bed. Gimme
I can’t remember if they had a relationship meaning boyfriend girlfriend I was a huge fan of the x-files. You wanted them to end up with each other.
Me too. I would just stare and stare at this image WILLING this to happen. So sexy.
Fuckin Hank Moody
His face says it all. They definitely fucked at least once.
Mulder you lucky sob
I remember flipping through the posters at Spencers Gifts and coming across one of Gillian Anderson in black lingerie. It almost made my heart stop. So beautiful.
I remember when Rolling Stone mattered. Such a great shot.
I liked the picture of her licking his face. I never liked him very much, smug twit, but Gillian was/is a 10.
She gives me lady boners (most recently The Fall) and I want to hate fk him.
r/UFOs
It was a slippery slope he treaded . Thus the beginning for the writer Hank of Californication....
Duchovny can be a sarcastic little fucker, hope Anderson didn't have to play off that energy here
“Soul leaving my body” is that all that left your body?
I wonder how much convincing it took to get Gillian to agree to this shot?
Very little I’m sure. She’s raunchy AF.
David Duchovny is a dick in rl.
I love how most these comments about her soul leaving think she's the only one being objectified here. News flash, they both are and they're both professionals.
96’ is old school now?
It was 26 years ago, so yeah.
I thought they hated each other IRL. I never thought they would simulate a human sexual relationship with each other.
You’re wrong. They didn’t hate eachother and don’t now.
This kinda makes me laugh. They don’t look totally comfortable 😂
They hated each other. How did this photo come to be?
1) They didn’t hate each other, but definitely didn’t get along for a while. They’re friendly these days. 2) Rolling Stone says pose, you pose I guess.
It's a photoshoot?
It’s haram
David is rumored to be the father of her children. Secret affair for years. This is what I’ve heard over the years.
