Gillian Anderson Rewatches The X-Files, Sex Education, Scoop & More | Vanity Fair
Ойын-сауық
Gillian Anderson takes a walk down memory lane as she rewatches scenes from her classic works including 'The X-Files,' 'Sex Education,' 'The Crown,' 'The Fall,' and her newest film 'Scoop.' Gillian dishes on realizing how big 'The X-Files' was after seeing a tattoo of her face on a buttcheek, being blown away in the moment by Rufus Sewell's acting in 'Scoop' and so much more.

Gillian looks great. What an awesome hairstyle. I understand that she wants to move beyond the X Files, but just being reminded of that pilot- wow, that performance of hers is still so captivating. She completely embodied Dana Scully. The naivete, the intellect, and tenaciousness.

this! she created a character with so much depth and so many facets, based on writing that was often ok at best (although some of the writers on the show were outstanding!)
She was exquisite in Hannibal. It doesn't get mentioned enough.

I’m an original “X-Phile.”Meaning that I’ve been watching X-files since the premiere on September 10, 1993. Still my all time favorite tv show. Loved the great but wonderfully muted chemistry between Mulder and Scully. See the third season episode “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” and tell me it’s not one of the greatest episodes of television ever. ❤❤

I'm a huge fan of The X-Files, and I'm currently rewatching it for the umpteenth time. And you know what? I'm still finding new things to love about it.
Gillian Anderson is so talented and ageless!
All her characters are the type of woman that I don't know if I wanna be with or I wanna be. Specially Bedelia and Stella. She is f*cking perfection in everything she does.

Gillian Anderson is one of the very best actresses working today - but her career doesn't always reflect her ability, her range and audacity - her most astonishing performances are in House of Mirth and Streetcar Named Desire, two of the best onscreen performances ever IMO - give her more intricate, classical roles like this, which she can really sink her teeth into
@toms5996

I agree completely that she absolutely shines in the more nuanced but yet powerful roles. What comes to her more 'known tv roles', her subtlety on 'Hannibal' drove the series a lot despite her role being a minor one. 'Streetcar' is up there with her most powerful performances.
The legend herself. I hope she wins an Oscar one day.

Sort of wish they'd shown her some later seasons of the x files when she fully came into her character and got to showcase the confidence, talent and power she held. Lovvvve all of the things she's been in and I'm so happy we got to witness her looking back on them
Edit: all this time I was convinced that she was born in the UK I didn't know that she was actually born in Chicago that's insane. The way her accent has amalgamated into kind of British kind of American is fascinating to me so cool she seems such a chill person
she's so beautiful and talented it's amazing

Her performances on Hannibal and The Fall give me goosebumps just remembering them, she is so phenomenal when she's given these dark, complex women to bring to life
I'm so thrilled they asked her about Hannibal! One of my favourite parts she ever did - that show honestly doesn't get enough love.
The X-Files was a defining moment in history for my generation.
Loved this interview!
Gillian as Scully is a goddess. Her performance as Thatcher was shocking in a marvellous way. But Stella Gibson - that dance she does with Spector, oh my! Jamie Dornan is a much better actor than all that 50 Shades nonsense would have you believe, and he and Gillian played perfectly off each other.

I didn't appreciate Dornan until I watched The Fall. They were both fascinating in these series.
Awesome! I love her acting and the roles she plays to perfection, love her directness and how well spoken she is. I absolutely loved her in The Fall- how she handled men, how she carried herself. Extremely elegant, honest, classy, confident, supportive towards women… brilliant woman . 😊
Gillian's class and star power is legend which shines here!
I love how her normal accent is some bizzare British / American combo now. The modern transatlantic accent haha She’s so striking 😊

She's apparently always has been like that, she was born in the US then moved to England as a kid, then moved back to the US when she was 11, then later moved back to England and on and on. She's one of those rare types of people that preserve two accents naturally. And if I'm not mistaken one of her parents is English.

i'm such a huge fan of gillian- she is so incredibly talented ✨
She's always great. I loved her in Bleak House.
I still remember when this episode aired. I was a freshmen in high school. It seems like forever ago. The memories.
She is such a chameleon!! I am so glad she is getting so many chances to shine lately, she is a brilliant actress.
it's interesting how she goes in and out of her accent depending on the audience.
I think I’m straight but this lady has done something with me since I first saw her in the X Files way back when. I can’t explain it.
She’s amazing, MOTHER
It's kind of sad that she doesn't appreciate Scully as much as this character deserves. Gillian needs to know that she was great as Scully, she was young back then and she was perfect.😊
Great to see this. Gillian is one of the very nice celebs. When I was just a young lad working in the biz as a grunt early on in her career she was super cool. Miss seeing her around.
Omg!!!! Yes, please!!! She is a legend!❤❤❤❤
Utterly criminal that Bleak House was not featured here as it is absolutely outstanding. Her performance as “ Lady Dedlock “ was ( is ) on a whole different level. Incredible & profoundly moving ❤🎉
Scully!!!!!
I remember watching the X-files as a teenage girl an being so much into Mulder. It's now hard to believe but was so number 2 for me then. And now I'm 40 now and I want to be like Gillian when I grow up. It's her who is dazzling and perfectly great.
As pretty as she was as a young woman, she is simply gorgeous today

When I saw The Crown and Thatcher first appearance, I had no clue she was portrayed by Anderson. I found out by coincidence and my jaw dropped. Superb acting by Anderson in my humble opinion!
No series ever has seen its material elevated like that. Andersson and Duchovny could turn any plot into television gold.
Brilliant. Love it. Thankyou. 👍🙏
Dana Scully has been an icon in my life since my brother introduced the show to me when I was 11. X-Files will always be one of my top favorites
I hope You & David do more X files. ❤❤ it was great series.
I absolutely loved The Fall
Love her since forever!
Gillian, you're my hero. Being an FBI agent like Dana Scully was one of my first childhood aspirations. I was 8 or 9, and I lived (still do) so far away in Indonesia! No internet at that time, mind you. In junior high, I was seriously considering to get into forensics (though I did not because my parents didn't approve and I hated biology). You and Scully are an inspiration for little girls around the world.
Scully and Stella changed my life. Powerful women that changed my perspective on femininity
My favourite actress and Sewell is fantastic too!
She will always be Scully to me 😆
Brisco County Jnr! Really wish they had continued to develop it.
My all time crush since I was 14....
My absolute favorite show! Original watcher. Had posters and everything! My daughter is named after her❤

A fine wine - or maybe it’s been long enough since I heard a Scully rationalism.

Gillian is so fricken hot I love everything she has done she is by far the hardest crush I have ever had never missed an episode of the X-Files no matter what I had going on in the 90's!
Was just talking about The X-Files last night. Groundbreaking television
I love Gillian Anderson!! ❤

Gillian is the only woman whose sense of humor, intelligence, and personality could maybe, just maybe, hold a candle to Rose Gotto's.
She's so fabulous
I love her so much ❤
Best epi has to be the Christmas one with Lilly tomlin and ed asner. Great epi

binge watching xfiles in disney plus. cant believe shes agent scully. 😮❤❤❤
Luv her in x files
She is the crush (love) of my life 🥹🫠
Me, child of the 90's, Scully was my hero along with Xena. And no one would be more perfect Scully than Gillian. Having said that , in the alternate universe somewhere, Cynthia Nixon was cast and she is FCKNG FABULOUS as Dana Scully
Gillian Anderson it's look amazing,it"s so beoutifoul!❤❤
She is so beautiful
Blue is so her colour. Absolute Godess.
GILLIAN IS A GREAT ACTRESS!
love her 🧡🧡🧡
X-Files is my all time favorite series. The show and Gillian Anderson deserves so much credit for finally creating an intelligent female character. I think she paved the way for many actresses today. Until Scully, most were bimbos. At least that’s my opinion.
YES THE X FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have followed and enjoyed Ms. Anderson's career since The X Files! One thing I remember about The Fall was the complete lack of humor; she worked in an office and we never heard anyone joking around in any way, so that part didn't ring true at all.
Just love your heels!
What a Queen she is ❤
SHE IS SO COOL!
