David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson admit they had ‘tension’ on ‘X-Files’ set: ‘We’re both f–king crazy’

Duchovny’s “Fail Better” podcast. “We know each other very deeply and yet we don’t know each other either in some weird way,” said Duchovny, 64, per People.“I don’t know that we ever sat down and said, ‘Hey, what was your childhood like?’”Anderson, 56, recalled, “We didn’t.

And why would we? We were busy.” Duchovny starred as the open-minded special agent Mulder, while Anderson played the more skeptical special agent Scully on the hit Fox show from 1993 to 2002.

They both also reprised their roles in two films and revival seasons in 2016 and 2018. “The Crown” actress added, “We have a closeness that we don’t have with probably many other people, and went through something that we didn’t go through with any other people.

I mean, yes, there were crew and etcetera, but in terms of our experience as actors. And so, I thought it would be a curious investigation.”Duchovny has two kids — West, 25, and Kyd, 22 — with his ex-wife, actress Tea Leoni, who he divorced in 2014.
