David Duchovny on 'Failure of Friendship' with Gillian Anderson During X Files
An Exclusive Interview with the Star of the Hit Series
In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, David Duchovny opened up about the "failure of friendship" with his former X-Files co-star, Gillian Anderson.
Duchovny and Anderson starred as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully in the hit series, which ran for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2002. The show was a critical and commercial success, and the two actors became close friends.
However, in recent years, Duchovny and Anderson have had a falling out. In 2016, Anderson said that she was "not friends" with Duchovny, and that they had not spoken in over a year.
In his interview with THR, Duchovny said that he was "disappointed" by Anderson's comments. He said that he had always considered Anderson a friend, and that he was not sure what had caused the rift between them.
"I think it's a failure of friendship," Duchovny said. "I don't know what else to call it. We were friends for a long time, and then we weren't. I don't know what happened."
Duchovny also said that he was "sad" that he and Anderson were no longer friends. He said that he had always hoped that they would be able to reconcile their differences.
"I always thought that we would be friends again," Duchovny said. "I don't know if that's still possible. But I hope it is."
What Went Wrong?
It is not clear what caused the rift between Duchovny and Anderson. Some speculate that it was due to creative differences, while others believe that it was simply a matter of time and distance.
Whatever the reason, the rift between Duchovny and Anderson is a sad one. The two actors were once close friends, and it is unfortunate that they are no longer on speaking terms.
Conclusion
The failure of friendship between David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson is a reminder that even the closest relationships can come to an end. It is important to cherish the friendships that we have, and to do our best to repair them when they are broken.
