‘The X-Files’ Actress Gillian Anderson Says Being Voted World’s Sexiest Woman Was ’Surreal’

Anderson looked back on the experience in her new book about women’s sexual fantasies.

Gillian Anderson rose to fame in the 1990s as Dana Scully on ‘The X-Files,’ which also starred David Duchovny. She reflected on being voted the sexiest woman by fans during that period in her new book, ‘Want.’

“I had a surreal experience in 1996 when I was voted world’s sexiest woman by readers of FHM magazine,” she wrote in a collection of anonymous letters about sexual fantasies from women worldwide (per The Guardian). “A type of worship not far off some of the descriptions in these fantasies.”

Anderson also shared a fantasy of her own as well as stories about her life and career in the upcoming book. She discussed the difference between her everyday life and poses on magazines/photoshoots by saying, “It felt so preposterous to me.”

The actress continued, “If you saw my life and where I am half the time, between work and set and kids and driving and drop-offs and pick-ups and all that sort of stuff – the fact that you’d end up with those pictures is just so…”

Gillian Anderson gave birth to her first child during ‘The X-Files’ Season 2 and went on as a working mom until the series ended in 2018. Now, production for a show revival is underway with Ryan Coogler.

Specifics of the reboot are under wraps at the moment, but there’s a chance for Anderson and Duchovny’s return.
