David Duchovny says X-Files creator proposed he attend couples therapy with Gillian Anderson after tension

As a devoted fan who has followed their careers since the early days of The X-Files, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgic amusement at the tale of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson‘s on-set dynamic. Their tumultuous relationship, fraught with tension and silent flights, seems almost too dramatic for script, yet it was the very essence of their chemistry that made the show so captivating.

The creators of X-Files suggested that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who had a strained professional connection during filming, consider attending relationship counseling together as a means to improve their dynamic on set.

In the most recent installment of Duchovny’s podcast, titled “Fail Better,” the actor shared a story about an unconventional idea that was proposed as a result of their disagreements with series creator Chris Carter.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: On that specific episode, Anderson, age 56, found herself as a guest. Though I can’t recall that exact exchange, I do remember our professional relationship during those days being strained to the point where we chose to avoid each other off-camera for extended periods of time.

In the early stages of our first season, it seemed like our perspectives were clashing quite a bit, and Chris suggested that we might simulate a therapy session for our characters on the show, David Duchovny, 64, who portrayed Fox Mulder, explained. Essentially, he was asking if we would participate in a fictional therapy for our TV couple characters.

He went on, recalling our time in his office, “‘Chris suggests, ‘How about we all go for therapy?’ Now I’m perplexed, thinking you meant as Mulder and Scully,'” was how it played out.

For Duchovny, the embodiment of their ‘troubled’ relationship unfolded during a shared flight the day following an Emmy Awards event.

During the flight on their privately rented plane, the pair remained silent, yet there was a letter penned by Gillian that deeply touched David.

David reminisced, “I remember an image of us at our absolute worst, specifically during the Emmys. The next day, I had a private plane and offered you a ride.

‘You were delayed, which made me very upset. But on our private flight from L.A. to Vancouver, you were sitting nearby, writing a letter to me instead of speaking. It was a thoughtful letter, expressing gratitude and everything I longed to hear.’

In this recent installment, I found myself delving deep into the heart of the duo’s dynamic, as they pondered their precarious professional bond. Interestingly, Duchovny confessed that during the series’ original run from 1993 to 2002, a period encompassing nine seasons, there was a significant strain on our friendship off-screen – a ‘failure of friendship,’ as he put it.

Despite the show’s triumph, there was virtually no communication between the Emmy-nominated actor and Anderson due to high levels of tension between them.

For quite some time during our work on the series, I found myself maintaining a professional distance from my co-stars when we weren’t in front of the cameras.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I’d rephrase that statement like this: In our shared performances on the series, I personally didn’t sense any tension or friction with David Anderson that was palpable off-screen.

It seemed that the task didn’t require any particular concern since we’re both a bit eccentric, it appears – so we could simply venture out and accomplish what was necessary, as Duchovny put it.

Anderson admitted the circumstances were quite unusual, implying it showcased their exceptional skills as entertainers.

Anderson remarked, “It’s astonishing how we could express different feelings, emotions, attractions, and more on camera, but then go without talking to each other for extended periods.

During their time on the show, Duchovny mentioned that he and Anderson rarely delved deeply into their personal histories.

‘I don’t know that we ever sat down and said, “Hey, what was your childhood like?”‘ Duchovny said.

Anderson explained, “We didn’t do it, and frankly, we wouldn’t have the time. There’s a unique bond between us that we may not share with many others, and we experienced something extraordinary together, which was unlike anything we’ve encountered with anyone else.

Indeed, there was a team involved, but from an actor’s perspective, it seemed like an intriguing exploration to delve into.

In his own words, Duchovny admitted that he believes he could have shown more self-control in some situations. Yet, he also suggests that the simmering tensions between the two actors contributed significantly to the intensity of their on-screen portrayals.

Duchovny explained that they had been setting aside funds for it, but since the project was quite challenging and complicated, both he and someone else (presumably a co-worker) were relatively inexperienced at the start.

Suddenly, it seemed as though something had taken on a universal scale, reminiscent of a global event prior to the advent of the internet. We find ourselves hastily attempting to understand our identities.

Anderson commended her former acting partner for his exceptional work on the podcast, which boasts high-profile guests like Bette Midler, Andy Cohen, Rosie O’Donnell, Sean Penn, and Ben Stiller.

As I delved deeper into our discussions and truly appreciated the insights you were sharing, I found myself discovering new facets of your personality that I hadn’t previously known or even suspected.

Duchovny commented, “Despite knowing each other profoundly, there remains a mysterious aspect where we don’t truly understand each other.
