Men’s Journal Interview with Gillian Anderson February Issue
We know scrolling social media makes us feel bad, but we can’t stop doing it.
Everything out there is going to look better than where one is. I’m posting a picture on Instagram of me smiling on set on The X-Files, but that’s not an indication of anything. That doesn’t even mean I’m happy. Who knows what’s going on at home in London: how much I’m missing my children, whether one of them is sick, how powerless I feel in that, or what’s happening on set. None of it is an indication of anything real.
I think a lot of people feel that way about social media, but we assume that celebrities don’t, because your lives are awesome.
There are some very, very unhappy wealthy people out there.
You’ve been in the public eye for a long time, but what’s something most people still don’t know about you?
If I get nervous during interviews, it looks like I’m not enjoying myself, like I’m very serious and grumpy. And I am those things, but most of the time I’m also really silly, really goofy, and really clumsy. I’m not one or two things—I’m 25 things.
Oh… that’s a new development. What do you mean “in her history”? (I know nothing about Twitter, sorry)
I never believe the sightings if they’re from people who are more or less connected to this fandom whatsoever. So 🤔
Yep, it’s weird. I was believing her without a doubt before that. I guess if Gillian is indeed in Mexico now, we will now it. Either she’ll be spotted again or she’ll resurface later in London tanned like a tiny roasted chicken. 🤷🏽♀️🍗🍗

I don’t know, that’s not how I felt. She changed a Gillovny icon for another, more recent, Gillovny icon.
I guess it’s because since they wrapped, Gillian and David became kinda estranged, but let’s remember that 3 weeks ago, Gillian was still posting Gillovny content on Instagram and Twitter. So I don’t know what happened between them and if something happened at all, but she didn’t change the way she’s “using” Gillovny on social media.
And I agree, the pic is really cute!
I’m not sure it’s true, though. There is no proof at all that David is with Monique, and btw, she’s completely out of the frame since they wrapped so I’m not sure people are still talking about her.
We’ve just gone through a PM week without any pda, except the small hand holding on the Globes red carpet. So I guess those who were in denial before that, still are. It’s not my case but I understand that Gillian didn’t give them any reason to change their mind during this week.
