The strained working relationship between David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson on the set of The X-Files gave the show’s creator an unconventional idea.
On the latest episode of Duchovny’s Fail Better podcast, the actor explained how Chris Carter referred them to a couples therapist. David took this offer as a joke, but he was still embarrassed. “I remember Jillian and I sitting in her office and Chris said, ‘Do you guys want to go to therapy together?’ And I said, “You mean like Mulder and Scully? “I was confused,” the actor recalls.
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson played federal agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the cult series The X-Files, which investigates unusual crimes. While the characters who constantly argue in the movie immediately formed friendships, the actors spent a long time getting used to each other on the set.
But working together on eleven seasons and two movies in the X-Files universe still brought the actors closer together. Now they are good friends. By the way, David Duchovny still had to turn to specialists, but for a different reason. The actor suffered from sex addiction, which destroyed his marriage.
