She’s one of those amazing women who played a character so well it had an effect on the world. Her character in x-files was so badass that a whole wave of women went into STEM fields. She didn’t make a change because of looks, she made a change because she’s so badass.

Mmm that's a subjective call, certainly she's good looking for her age but not a patch on her look 20 odd years ago, but then again that as they say is life 🤷🏻♂️
I love how she just embodies so much strength and presence and is unapologetic about it.

Even though I know she played Margaret Thatcher in The Crown, I couldn't see it then and I still can't see it now. That make-up department deserves awards for sure. She looked entirely different and Gillian Anderson molded her stance, speech, mannerisms and everything else perfectly. She disappears so successfully into Thatcher. Incredible. She is iconic for nearly every role she has every played.

Gillian Anderson is one of the OGs for women. Her role as Scully helped to change the landscape for women not just in TV and cinema but in real life.
For the record I have just finished watching X-files 1-9 seasons marathon, it was awesome.

I think it sounds more British than it used to, since she has been living in the UK for a couple of decades now. I think most of her roles since the X-Files have been English characters as well? A rare example of the opposite situation to the British actors known mostly for playing American-accented characters.

she only brings out the american accent when she's in the states or doing something like this with a primarily american audience, her "natural" accent is english and she uses it when she's on tv or adverts over here. she's lived here longer than she lived in the states now (32 years vs 23 years) so it makes sense
i love her nonchalant attitude 😂 somehow makes her more attractive
We have been BLESSED today!!! One of my favorite humans in the entire world. Gillian talking about X-Files makes my heart so happy. I'm glad she told off everyone who keeps shipping her and David, I mean it must be so awkward. Please let me age as good as Gillian Anderson 🙏
Gillian was absolutely BRILLANT as Margaret Thatcher in The Crown. I was so impressed. Well done.
I was scared her performance of Margaret Thatcher would make me like Thatcher. Instead, it made me hate Thatcher more and love Gillian even more.

She obviously sounded 100% English when playing Thatcher or Emily Maitlis, but here I only hear American. (I’m British).
As someone who just started watching the x files for the very first time I see this as an absolute win 😅
IM SO HAPPY SHE FINALLY DID THIS OMG
Gillian looks stunning, and has aged like a fine wine! Excellent actress and seems like a very self assured human.....doesn't take herself "too seriously";).....
You were awesome in the Crown as Margaret Thatcher. One of the highlights of the show.
Gorgeous person. Iconic 90s legend.
She is an absolute icon ❤
She flips her American and British dialects effortlessly and flawlessly.....just depending on who she is around. Ms G is amazing . She's still got it. I crushed on her in 1993 and I still do now.
she looks amazing
I saw Gillian live in A Streetcar Named Desire and I will always remember it as a highlight of my theatre views. She was excellent and even more beautiful in the flesh, and she showed a fair bit in that play. I love her
Gillian is the absolute definition of cool 😎
gillian anderson is such an underrated BAMF! i love her!
She's a legend and an icon. That's all I have to say
I love her -- herness! Honest, cool, proud. Classy. So many people seem to play what they think you/the public want to see/hear/believe. I just warmed to you being you right here right now. Thanks for the interview!
The fact that Duchovny was considered the "big star" and payed double of what she was back in the day is crazy looking at the unbelievably varied roster of roles she's played since and played well and given how much her characterization brought to writing that was uneven at best.
I've always loved her!
She is wild , she would tear you up like those "pathetic" pieces of tape getting in her way 😅
OMG she still looks amazing ❤️
I love that she just switches accents depending on where she is and where she is doing press
She's so cool I'm gonna binge a bunch of her interviews now.
she's PERFECTION!!!! I love Gillian since always ❤
This is particularly pertinent because when I first used the internet in September 1996, one of the first things I searched for were pics of Gillian Anderson! I was in luck too, there were many fan pages. Not difficult to see why.
I love Gillian Anderson and Lucy Lawless they are both incredible people! I love them both and to see them both as no nonsense people is just the best. Standing in their truths I love that and I try to do the same everyday of my life.
Haven’t we all been in love with her forever?

SCULLY!!!!! God I love her so much
The complete way she just owns everything. Being an icon for so many years.
The X files put her on the map and she hasn't looked back. So many memorable roles since then. Alas, the vast majority of people still only see Dana Scully.. 🙂 Not that there's anything wrong with that. Very cool woman. Always has been, always will be. I'm looking forward to watching Scoop.
Gillian Anderson is so beautiful, so talented! Love her! ❤

Thanks for this video…I am fanboying SO hard right now. (And no, this is NOT an innuendo, get your minds out of the gutter!) I have been a fan of hers since the X files, as have many others. Needless to say, she has aged incredibly well. Genetics have been very kind to her.
I have been loving her for almost 30 years. No regrets.
90's legend, this woman is an absolute icon
I love how she fidgets, so naturally confident

KZread is broken. This video is supposedly 4 hours old with 15k views and already populated by daft bot comments? I’m broken as I thought I was the only one with a massive Gillian Anderson crush. What she says about Blanche DuBois resonates as I saw her stellar performance at the Young Vic. At the bow she looked pretty knackered. Still utterly gorgeous though.
