David Duchovny Says He’s Not Dating ‘X-Files’ Co-Star Gillian Anderson | TVLine 

 star David Duchovny has really taken the whole “deceive, inveigle, obfuscate” thing to heart.

While chatting with TVLine about his upcoming projects — which include NBC’s 

revival — Duchovny confirms that he’s seen the continuation’s first script and offers this tease. (You might want to sit down.)

“It has Mulder and Scully in it,” he says dryly. “You’re just gonna have to wait. You’re gonna have to wait like everybody.”

Perhaps of more interest, albeit to a certain sect of Mulder-and-Scully fans: Duchovny gently shoots down the notion that he and co-star Gillian Anderson have ever been anything more than the FBI’s Most Unwanted.

“The whole thing about Gillian and I dating is so weird. It’s never happened, it’s not going to happen, we’re friends,” he says. “I don’t want to rain on anybody’s parade, but no, it’s not gonna happen. It hasn’t happened.”

The rumors, which have been present for years, made their rounds on the Internet again last week after Anderson joined Duchovny onstage during a recent concert to promote his album

“I see Gillian, I kiss her hello. She’s my friend. If somebody gets a picture of that, if it’s on stage and she comes up to sing with me, I’m going to kiss her hello,” he says. “I wish the show would be enough. I don’t understand why people want more from Gillian and I. I really don’t.”

He adds: “You can have Mulder and Scully, and that’s gonna have to be enough.”

How stupid are people? Talk about getting too involved in your TV shows. “What do you mean Spock is played by an actor??”

People are just creppy. Actors personal lifes belong to them, not to us. I love them as actors and how they interact with each other.

Party pooper. At least Gillian knows how to joke around.

Right? I think he’s probably just a little on edge because of all the cheating rumors when he was with Tea Leoni (not sure if he still is or not) and just wanted to nip it in the bud

For fecks sake. I don’t think anyone cares. The whole excitement was that it was David and Gillian who play two icons onstage and it was FUN. The press is the one spreading rumors fueling fans excitement. The fans were not the one posting those kissing images all over the place. That was the press. Fans just love them as Mulder and Scully. Sure there are others out there who want them to date, but can you really blame them? No need to be so aggressive about this. We are very much aware that they aren’t dating. We are not stupid, so don’t treat us as such.

Actually, yes, the fans ARE the ones posting those pics all over the place. And a subset of fans ARE the ones who have been convinced they’ve been a secret couple ALL THESE YEARS, even while married to other people (they’re called “snoggers” in the fandom, and they are creepy as H-E-L-L). You clearly don’t know much about the XF fandom.

I’ve never heard the “snoggers” term, but fans absolutely will ship the actors, and I agree its very creepy. Some ncis fans do it to Michael Weatherly, its insane. I do recall when the original show was on, that the rumor was GA and DD couldn’t get along, yet people would ask them all the time if they would ever consider dating…why…

Never cared about David or Gillian’s personal lives, but loved their crazy chemistry on the screen. Can’t wait.

I thought gillian was gay, I`m positive I read it somewhere.

She’s not gay. She’s said so many times. She’s bisexual at most, but has said that she identifies as heterosexual.

It’s not surprising. Back in the day, the rumor was that they didn’t even like each other. The truth is probably that they’re like siblings who will bicker when they’re around each other too much, but who enjoy spending time with each other.

Even with Mulder and Scully, I never got romantic vibes from them. Not all chemistry between male and female actors is sexual.

Your not fooling anybody Mr. Duchovny! I hope your buddy Brad reads this comment back to you. Try explaining why you were drooling all over Gillian in the green room. The proof hasn’t been posted yet..

I never understood why fans care about who actors date. I rather they don’t date, because if they dated and broke up then the show might suffer.

“I wish the show would be enough” — You could say this to A LOT of fans out there. I am MORE than happy with just the show! #noromo4life

Bummer..I think they make a great couple, but happy they will be together on the show.

He makes it sound like they’ve had a friendly peck or two that’s been taken wildly out of context by fans who are obsessed with the idea of Scully and Mulder getting together. In reality, most fans are completely able to separate them from their characters and wouldn’t have given an actual relationship another thought after all these years had we not also seen numerous videos and pictures of them (check out several Comic Cons on youtube, for example) that seem to tell a very different story. They are always hanging all over each other, giggling, gazing into each others eyes, whispering in each others ears, rubbing each others backs, holding hands under the table, and making suggestive comments to or about each other. And don’t get me started on the sexual Twitters or the AMA photo taken in one of their hotel rooms with them on a bed. About a week or so ago when DD was asked by an interviewer about being in a relationship with GA he said, “I’ll have to get back with you on that,” then said it won’t happen, but ended it by saying he’s been wrong before. If the answer is “no,” you don’t say, “let me get back to you on that.” And Gillian is thoroughly unconvincing when denying a relationship (see the Huffington Post video) and just a few days Twittered that she’d follow him anywhere. So DD can think it’s “weird” that people think they are or have been in a relationship all he wants. What’s actually weird is their behavior and how they both perpetuate the idea that something is definitely going on every chance they get when they are together. He can say they’re “just friends” but neither one of them behaves like any male and female I have ever known who are simply that. If nothing else, they are close friends with benefits, but the idea that nothing more has ever happened is ludicrous to anyone who has seen them together and can read body language. Lastly, Gillian Anderson is incredibly talented, successful, and appears to get more beautiful every day. Any man who would walk away from that is truly the weird one.
