Gillian Anderson is an incredible actress who has impressed fans from all over the world with her iconic roles. Over the years the star has appeared in hit series including The Crown Sex Education and The Great and is perhaps best known for one of her first roles in The X-Files but did you know she and her co star David Duchovny, openly disliked one another during filming?
Speaking to Metro back in 2008, David opening up about the pairs hostility towards one another saying Familiarity breeds contempt. It’s nothing to do with the other person. All that fades away and you are just left with the appreciation and love for the people you have worked with for so long. We used to argue about nothing. We couldn’t stand the sight of each other.
Gillian also spoke about the situation to The Guardian explaining There were definitely periods when we hated each other. Hate is too strong a word. We did not talk for long periods of time. It was intense and we were both pains in the expletive for the other at various times.
The pair have thankfully since put their feud to bed, and opened up about why their relationship was so bad during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2016. At the time Gillian explained I wondered this for a long time and I think part of it is that we shot in Vancouver and its very moist in Vancouver and so my hair gets very frizzy and so it takes forever and between every single take we would have to stand there and blow dry my hair.
