"The truth is out there," is the tagline from the show that made him famous, but X-Files star David Duchovny has always kept the details of his private life firmly under wraps.

Elle confirme qu'à certaines périodes, les deux stars ne pouvaient pas se supporter. Aujourd'hui, Gillian Anderson et David Duchovny sont très proches. A tel point qu'on leur a même prêté une aventure amoureuse, ces derniers mois. Mais à la grande époque de X-Files, c'était beaucoup plus tendu en coulisses, entre Mulder et Scully. Invitée au Salt Lake Comic Con FanX, à Salt Lake City, la belle rousse est revenue en détails sur sa relation compliquée avec son camarade de jeu : "Nous nous entendions globalement bien (dans les années 1990), mais il y avait des périodes, durant ces 9 ans, durant lesquelles on s'entendait clairement beaucoup moins bien." La comédienne n'a pas précisé les raisons du (ou des) conflit, mais elle avance que David Duchovny et elle ont passé trop de temps ensemble. "On se taquinait mutuellement neuf mois par an. C'est un peu comme si nous étions frère et sœur. Des drames arrivent. Et puis on grandit..." X-Files, saison 11 : Gillian Anderson n'a pas été approchée (pour le moment) Avec le temps, ils ont su surmonter leurs différences, continue Gillian Anderson : "Je pense que nous avons réalisé que, durant cette période dévorante de la série originale, nous étions essentiellement les seules personnes à pouvoir comprendre ce que nous traversions à l'époque. Et on a commencé à se dire : 'En fait, ce serait bien mieux si on s'entendait bien non ?' C'est venu avec la nostalgie du temps, de la tendresse, et un peu plus de maturité. Et puis en vieillissant, on se dit qu'on va mourir bientôt, alors autant être amis !"

Viewers were also captivated by the show's two leading stars, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. While the pair played Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, FBI agents who eventually became romantic partners on the series, things were not exactly always so friendly between the actors in real life. Anderson and Duchovny's relationship seemed to start off well and when he earned a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Series in January 1997, he called Anderson "the best co-star anybody could have," according to Uproxx. However, when "cameras move[d] to pick up a reaction shot from the actress ... an eye-roll [was] detected." On top of that, "Anderson did not, for her part, similarly mention Duchovny during her moment in the spotlight" when she won Best Actress "immediately prior," which might have hinted at the fact that she was not feeling as fond of him as he was of her. By August of that same year, Duchovny spoke to Cult Times (via Uproxx) and admitted that he did not "socialize with Gillian, just because we're working together all the time." While he claimed that they got along and that she was the only one who really knew what he was "going through," he admitted, "Sometimes we all just show up and go, 'I'd rather be anywhere else but here, and I'm going to make you suffer for it." Yikes! And things did not really get better from there. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson 'couldn't stand the sight of each other' Kevin Winter/Getty Images If you have ever watched The X-Files, then you likely understand why people adored Dana Scully and Fox Mulder's dynamic. You also surely get why those same fans hoped that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were a real-life item or at least friends. However, not only did they fail to find romance together, but they also struggled to simply be friendly towards each other. Frankly, "off screen The X-Files stars were constantly arguing," according to Us Weekly. By the time the series had wrapped up its original run and returned for a movie in 2008, Duchovny revealed that their relationship had pretty much been non-existent. When asked by Metro when he had last seen Anderson before reuniting to film again, he admitted that "[i]t had been a number of years," but also added that "when you spend that much time with someone it doesn't feel like you've been apart. She's like my sister." When it was noted that the actors "must have been sick of ... each other" after they had "work[ed] so closely together for eight years," Duchovny confirmed that notion, explaining, "Absolutely. Familiarity breeds contempt." He explained, "It's nothing to do with the other person. All that fades away and you're just left with the appreciation and love for the people you've worked with for so long. We used to argue about nothing. We couldn't stand the sight of each other." Granted, according to Anderson, there was another reason why they did not get along. Gillian Anderson said she and David Duchovny 'were both pains in the arse' Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny may be able to thank their on-screen chemistry for being a part of what made The X-Files a success, however, they can't thank each other for making the filming experience any easier. "[T]here were definitely periods when we hated each other," Anderson told The Guardian in 2015. She then corrected herself, saying, "Hate is too strong a word. We didn"t talk for long periods of time. It was intense, and we were both pains in the arse for the other at various times." When asked how Duchovny was an, er, pain in her arse, she indulged in a lengthy pause before saying, "I'm not even going to begin to get into that. But we are closer today than we ever have been." That certainly seemed to be true because, although "Anderson was the most notable no-show at Duchovny's Walk of Fame event" in 2016, as The Guardian pointed out, "she did send a letter that was read aloud, a mock eulogy that ended with her jokingly saying, 'He'll always be my shining star. May his soul rest in peace.'" Oh, um, that's ... nice? As for Duchovny, he revealed that same year that he still deals with questions about a potential real-life romance between himself and Anderson, something that apparently "visibly frustrates him." He explained, "Gillian and I are not lovers, or boyfriend and girlfriend." And it kinda seems like they never will be. | There are few television partnerships more iconic than Special Agents Mulder and Scully from FOX's The X Files. While yes, the actors behind the characters have been coworkers for going on 26 years, their real life friendship has always been goals. David Duchovny reminded us of this fact with his lovely message to Gillian Anderson today. Credit: Joe Seer / Today, Anderson received her star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, neighboring Duchovny's. Amusingly enough, they set up the podium for the speakers on top of David's star. The actress looked STUNNING in a silver gown paired with ice blond hair and black rimmed glasses, her poise and grace obvious in every photo from the ceremony. She thanked her friends and collaborators who spoke for her in a tweet, both Bryan Fuller (who she worked with on NBC's Hannibal and STARZ's American Gods) and Joel McHale (season 10 of The X-Files) offering their voices. David followed this up with a BEAUTIFUL message, one that will make X-philes (X-Files fans group noun) a little excited, a lot nervous for the unfolding of season 11, and even more in awe of the special relationship they have. If you read between the lines there and pair it with the news that Gillian said she's not coming back for future seasons after the end of 11, sure sounds like we know what the fate of Agent Scully is going to be.
