Gillian Anderson brings wit, elegance, and mischief to this interview—effortlessly weaving stories about fame, identity, and the strange realities of long-term pop-culture impact.
She laughs about receiving a wax figure, describing the surreal experience of confronting a version of herself frozen in time. Then she dives into her now-iconic “vulva dress,” discussing the message behind it, the reaction online, and why bold fashion is sometimes the best kind of rebellion.
The interview takes a joyful left turn when she recalls a chaotic, unplanned moment on The X-Files, proving once again that some of the show’s most unforgettable scenes were born from happy accidents.
It’s warm, funny, and undeniably Gillian. A great primer before a sci-fi or cult-classic movie night.
